Biography
The band's history started in July of 2003, when came up the idea of working on some songs originally made for another band, Magna Carta which had some of the members from Rosa Ígnea. The original proposal was to have our own work. Concerts invitations came before expected and among these presentations, where the band played covers and some of its own songs, the composition and recording's work were continuing on what later would become Ancient Eyes album.
It was necessary to stop the concerts at a certain moment so we could dedicate entirely to the compositions and recording, because we faced a lot of difficulties during this process specially when some of the members left the band, and when the singer Isabela Santos and the drummer Guilherme Mitre started to make their line-up.
About the subject matter, our proposal is play and sing about the questions that affects the human being through the time. Questions which always comes up in every kind of religion and brings the exhausting search for answers. Meanwhile, the religious and faith questions are not the main point. Despite of all the differences, they all have something in common, which is the search that goes beyond of what is immediate and real. Transform in lyrics the afflictions, search and hope of the human being . The challenge is to put in the lyrics all the afflictions, the search and the faith of the human being in a impartial and coherent way.
In the middle of 2006 the Ancient Eyes album came out as an independent album. It was completely produced by the band at its own studio, what made all of us very proud.
We ran out of CD's quickly, making some labels interested, and it was when Rosa Ígnea made a partnership with the Erpland Records, for a new distribution but now with the label on the CD.
On May, 2007 the band walked through a big change when the soprano Isabela Santos left the band. Immediately, we made a search for a new "front woman" and, in less than a month Rosa Ígnea could count on the beautiful voice of the soprano Lígia Ishitani. Finally, now it's time to keep searching for larger horizons.
