biography

Phase Transition is a progressive metal band formed in 2018, in Porto, Portugal, with Sofia Beco, on violin and vocals, Luís Dias on the guitar, Zé Pereira on the bass and Fernando Maia on the drums. The band combines influences ranging from classical music to technical progressive metal, as a result of the eclectic backgrounds of the members. They premiered live at Hard Club Porto at FMUP Music Fest 2019, playing new versions of iconic metal pieces. In December 2020, the band released their debut EP “Relatively Speaking”, which is the culmination of one year of work. The EP was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Afonso Aguiar at Titanforged Productions.

Phase Transition – Relatively Speaking | Review

This is the first time I’ve heard a band from Portugal. Phase Transition got me intrigued with the spacey colorful cover artwork as well as their genre description of progressive metal with symphonic elements. “Symphonic” is always a word that’ll click a lightbulb in my brain so I couldn’t resist giving it a go. Because, for me, they are ambassadors to their country’s metal and prog scene, I was really hoping they weren’t gonna let me down! They didn’t! Their debut E.P., “Relatively speaking”, was an instant hook for me from the first spin, and a few listens into it, I can’t seem to shake off the hype at all.

Nasceram em 2019 do desejo de dois amigos. Começaram pelas covers mas depressa perceberam que queriam e podiam fazer mais. Hoje já são quatro os amigos que, encantados pelo universo do metal e do prog, dão vida aos Phase Transition.

Interview with PORTO

Most people probably think that in order to join a band, one must throw away textbooks and devote totally to music. Nothing could be farther from the truth! The band from Porto and from FCUP and FEUP show just that: while studying for exams, the band has released the EP ‘Relatively Speaking’, which is available as of 7th December, on Spotify and on YouTube. Their CD is also available and it is a unique Xmas gift for music lovers.

Interview with Rádio Engenharia (Portuguese)

Apesar do seu EP de estreia “Relatively Speaking” ter saído no final do ano 2020, os Phase Transition já andam a dar-nos música desde 2019, ano em que atuaram pela primeira vez “no mítico Hard Club”. Todos os membros são estudantes da Universidade do Porto: a vocalista, Sofia Beco, estuda Bioengenharia na FEUP, enquanto que os seus companheiros Fernando Maia (baterista), José Pereira (baixista) e Luís Dias (guitarrista) estudam Engenharia Física na FEUP/FCUP. Sabendo como a vida de estudantes de engenharia pode ser ocupada e focada na academia, a Engenharia Rádio teve o gosto de fazer algumas perguntas a esta banda portuense, com o objetivo de descobrir, afinal, qual a transição de fases que ocorre entre a engenharia e a música.
