Armahda from Armahda by Armahda

The Armada Revolt (1893) - Republican Government of Floriano Vieira Peixoto

Marshall Floriano Peixoto betrayed the Empire. By means of a constitutional provision, thirteen officers sent a manifesto to President Floriano Peixoto demanding new elections. Floriano ordered the immediate arrest of these leaders.
It was clear that the Navy, Armada, had little prestige when compared to the army. This triggered the beginning of the Revolt.

Led by Custodio de Melo, former Minister of the Navy, several armored units entered into conflict with the army on September 13, 1893, in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. Without any chance of victory, the armed units turned to the south of the country where they tried unsuccessfully to win the support of the Southerners.

In March 1894, the president curbed the movement with the help of North-American freebooters and their fleet of ships from New York, overcoming the Brazilian armed rebels. Ironically, when victory against the insurgents was confirmed, the anthem heard was the English one "Long live the Queen".

The title track of the band has the lyrics written in the 1st person representing the Armada with the participation of famous Brazilian voice talent Silvio Navas (1942-†2016), who narrates in the 1st person the President Floriano Peixoto's speech.

Brazilian history, amplified. That's Armahda. This São Paulo-based heavy metal band exclusively dedicates its powerful sound to recounting the sagas of Brazil's past. Get ready for epic metal that's as educational as it is head-banging, bringing the nation's heritage to life like never before.
