The Brazilian Heavy Metal band, Mortticia, has released the single “Mistakes“, the first power ballad of their career, bringing deep reflections on the mistakes we make throughout life and how they shape our path toward the inevitable end, giving meaning and purpose to existence. “After all, if from birth to death everything went right and we only did what was expected of us, our life would be nothing more than the flight of a bird with the predictable trajectory from the nest to the grave,” highlights the band.

About the composition, the band also comments: “It is a song in which we carefully worked on the melodies to create one of those addictive ballads like those of Helloween or Angra. For the first time, we worked with an arranger for the keyboards, and this elevated the instrumental to another level.”
Founded in 2010 in the Brazilian city of Alegrete-RS, Mortticia moved in 2012 to Porto Alegre-RS and became one of the Brazilian exponents of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (N.W.O.T.H.M.), a movement that has been gaining strength on the global scene by revitalizing the classic sound of the genre with a more modern and sophisticated approach, without straying from its essence. The band’s discography includes several singles, an EP released physically on CD and cassette tape by labels in Romania and Brazil, and now they are preparing to present their long-awaited debut album.
The current lineup of Mortticia features Lucas Zawacki on vocals, Lucio Brenner on rhythm guitar, Gustavo Galho on lead guitar, Guilherme Hoppen on bass, and Doug Mansur on drums.
“Mistakes” was produced by renowned music producer Renato Osorio, former member of Hibria, and features the participation of Rafael Kurai in the keyboard arrangements. The cover art, signed by artist Gus Bringel, visually translates the essence of the song by bringing together elements such as the bird, the cemetery, and the figure of Mortticia, in a composition marked by colors and strokes reminiscent of the classic albums of the 80s and 90s. The promotional photography is by José Florêncio.
