The Element was founded in 1998 by Rafael Macedo. They made their debut concert playing with Blind Guardian in Brazil, in a concert for more than 2.000 people, which had a great response from the fans and media. With such feedback, the band released in 2003 its first demo CD - Climbing Up the Stairs of Mind - which had as the great highlight of the promotional process, a concert with Grave Digger. During the months of September and October of 2004, the band were in the city of São Paulo to record the CD, which should be released in August of 2005, something that didn't happen due to financial problems of the label.In 2007 The Element was invited to move to USA and start promoting their work overseas. After some line-up changes the band has finally found the perfect match. Today besides Rafael Macedo the band counts with the great musicians Mitch Stewart (Circle II Circle) and Henry Moreno ( Imagika ), besides great other participations from great artists/friends. The Element is a progressive metal band, which uses their knowledge as work tool, mixing technique, feeling and heaviness in their music.
