Biography



The Mist


Dias began his career in 1988 playing bass for the Brazilian thrash metal band The Mist, who had just changed their name from Mayhem following a number of lineup changes. On their first album Phantasmagoria released in 1989, they most notably featured Chakal singer Vladimir Korg on vocals and boasted a twin guitar lineup displaying a progressive mix of aggressive thrash and gothic atmosphere. For their second album, 1991's The Hangman Tree, former Sepultura guitarist Jairo Guedz took over full guitar duties for the band, reducing the band to a four-piece whilst further expanding the unique sound of the debut. Vocalist Korg left after the second album, further reducing the lineup to a trio for which Marcelo took over vocal duties for their third album, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, released in 1993 which showed the band adopting a more contemporary groove metal sound. Following this release, Marcelo left the band and was replaced by Cassiano Gobbet on both bass and vocals for their final album, 1995's Gottverlassen before splitting in 1997.


Soulfly


Following this, Dias (a.k.a. Marcello D. Rapp) found international fame as the former bass player for the metal veteran band Soulfly. His collaborations in the band's first three albums (Soulfly, Primitive and 3) were essential and indeed established his professional level earned him certified RIAA gold records in the US as well in oversea countries, selling more than two million copies worldwide.

With Soulfly, they incorporated many styles of metal with Brazilian tribal and world music. Cello had his first three studio albums debut on the US Billboard 200, with a peak position at number 32 for their second album, Primitive.[1] Their debut album, Soulfly, was certified gold by the RIAA.[2]


Abloom


Along with bandmates Mikey Doling, Roy Mayorga and One Side Zero's Jasan Radford and Levon Sultanian, they formed Abloom. Performing shows from California to New York, they achieved quickly national status for an unsigned band. With System of a Down bassist's Shavo Odadjian as their executive producer, they recorded a full-length album on their own, with an open agenda to negotiate any future deals. Currently, Abloom is on hiatus but are looking to start up again in the near future.
