📅 On this day in 2001, Kreator released "Violent Revolution," an album that reignited their thrash metal roots and left an undying mark on the genre. We're proud to remember the role of our senior producer, Leopoldo Lopes, in bringing this iconic sound to life. As a co-producer, recording engineer, and mixing engineer on essential tracks like "Violent Revolution," "Slave Machinery," "Mind On Fire," "System Decay," and "All of the Same Blood,” 🔥 Leopoldo Lopes's attention to detail and passion for the skill helped shape the album's powerful yet melodic atmosphere. The album marked a turning point for Kreator, bringing back the aggressive thrash sound while introducing melodic elements that set it apart. It was also the debut of guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö, whose riffs added a new dimension to the band's energy. 🗯️ According to frontman Mille Petrozza, the album aimed to capture "the rawness of thrash metal" with "a more polished production." Today, "Violent Revolution" is remembered for revitalizing thrash metal in the early 2000s. The entire production team, including Andy Sneap (producer, engineer, and mixer for the rest of the songs), worked tirelessly to craft an album that still resonates with metal fans today. 👀 For all the artists and bands we collaborate with here at Sound Pressure Studios, know that the passion and precision that went into this project are the same values we bring to every session. Whether it's metal, pop, rock, or R&B, we love helping artists capture the sound and emotion behind every track. #violentrevolution #kreator #leopoldolopes #studiomagic #soundpressurestudios #thrashmetal

Launched in the international market during LA Screenings Independents, in May, ‘Justice: Misconduct’ reached record consumption on Globoplay in Brazil. The Globoplay Originals series written by Manuela Dias (‘A Mother’s Love’) and directed by Gustavo Fernández (‘Pantanal’ and ‘Rebirth’) is the most-watched series ever published on the platform within the first 30 days of release. With 28 episodes, ‘Justice: Misconduct’ follows four characters who end up in prison and, seven years later, are released and must rebuild their lives in search of justice that goes beyond logic and legal processes. The plot is consolidated as an anthology series, following the same structure and format as ‘Justice: Life Is Not Fair’, which was nominated for the International Emmy for Best Actress with Adriana Esteves and Best Drama Series, albeit with new characters. The cast of ‘Justice: Misconduct’ also includes names such as Paolla Oliveira (‘Edge of Desire’), Marco Ricca (‘Orphans of a Nation’), Danton Mello (‘In Your Place’), and Alice Wegmann (‘Rensga Hits’). In other words, it is a total success! We're already looking forward to breaking new audience records, not just in Brazil, but around the world! #GloboDistribution #Globo #Globoplay #production #newrelease #series #Justice

Dear Producer (@Rebecca Green): "Rather than being about the work, the “Produced by” credit has become the token given to the person or brand who holds valuable IP or the star power to greenlight a movie. It is the reward for being “bankable.”" ... Pedro Correa (producer of HBO Max's "My Dead Dad"): I talk about this daily… Is the “producer” credit a financial credit? Packaging? Creative? A name-actor involved? The rep of a name-actor involved?! Do we need new sub-credits? It’s starting to feel this way. The credit “producer” has become likened to a luxury brand name — everyone seems to want it, but little people understand what it really* means to wear it, and the label* itself seems to be the sole focus (unlike work itself). It’s time that a bar be set, culturally, for the requirements to be able to call yourself a producer (outside just basic guild requirements). P.S. This is coming from the producer of “My Dead Dad” (HBO Max) — who also just so happened to be an actor in the film, and is often mistaken as ‘just an actor who got the producing credit’ — rather than the producer who, in reality, bled through their eyeballs for years getting the film made from A-to-Z. A revolution is needed. Read the Dear Producer Article: https://lnkd.in/e-pUXrxG

Brazil was the ninth biggest recorded-music market in the world last year according to the IFPI, with strong domestic growth and increasing cultural clout globally. 2024 is continuing in that vein according to figures published by labels body Pro-Música Brasil. Recorded-music revenues from streams and sales grew by 21% in the first half of this year to R$1.44bn ($256.4m at current exchange rates). Well, we say ‘streams and sales’ – 99.2% of these revenues came from streaming, so it’s absolutely dominating the market. Pro-Música Brasil noted that streaming subscription revenues were up 28.4% in the first half of this year to R$995m ($177.2m) thus accounting for nearly 70% of the overall market. Ad-supported streaming revenues grew by 6.6% to R$436m ($77.6m) meanwhile. The 28.4% growth in subscriptions is particularly encouraging, since those revenues grew 21.9% in 2023. An acceleration of paid-streaming growth in one of the industry’s key ‘high-potential’ markets will be welcomed by rightsholders. “The 21% growth in the sector’s digital and physical revenues directly reflects the efforts and investments made by recording companies, both in the production of musical content nationally, as well as in the marketing, promotion and career development of thousands of Brazilian artists,” said president Paulo Rosa.
