(2) Melodic Metal/Rock band formed in 2002 in Brazil. They released one single in 2002 called "While There Is Time" and a full lenght album in 2004 called "Victoria Regia" and one DVD in 2004 called "Ao Vivo Em São Paulo (Via Funchal)".

The quintet -- Ted Poley (vocals), Andy Timmons (guitar), Bruno Ravel (bass), Steve West (drums), and Kasey Smith (keyboards) Landed a deal with Epic in 1989. The same year saw the release of the group's self-titled debut, spawning the single/video "Naughty Naughty," which enjoyed a few airings on MTV's Headbanger's Ball program. The album failed to break the group through to the big time, but the group stuck to their guns and issued further albums: 1992's Screw It, 1995's Dawn, 1998's Four the Hard Way, and 2000's Return of the Great Gildersleeves.

Arising from the thriving music scene of Stockholm, Sweden, Silent Call trace their lineage all the way back to the year 1990, when founding members Daniel Ekholm and Patrik Ulfström met through a common friend. Realizing their common passion and strong melodic influence, they began playing together in the local heavy metal band Satins 'n' lace later renamed to Jamback and did so for many years apart from a few short breaks for some separate projects in various bands, forming what remains the chief driving force and songwriting effort behind Silent Call's sound.
