Biography

The Nitro band is a rock group originally from the Northern Region of Brazil, formed in 2003. Previously, the group was known as OSSOS DO OFÍCIO, a name it used in the 1990s. The band's current lineup features Dênis Negão on bass and vocals, Lucas Souza on guitar, and Rods on drums. Alessandro Carvalho is also mentioned as a guitarist in some lineups.

Nitro stands out for its sound that blends rock with regional influences, creating a unique musical identity. Throughout its career, the band has released several works, including the album "Pés No Chão", which was re-released nationwide in 2020. Other recordings include "Fortes Corações" (2005), "NITRO" (recorded in 2013), and a live DVD recorded at the Madeira Festival in 2005. More recently, the band has explored social themes in its music, such as in the song "Homens de Gravata", a protest against corruption.

The band has sought to expand its reach, signing with the Marã Música label, which has facilitated the distribution of its work throughout Brazil. Nitro has opened shows for renowned artists such as Jota Quest, CPM 22, and Paulo Miklos, and its musical influences include names like O Rappa, Pearl Jam, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, alongside local artists. Recently, the band released the single "Seu Escravo", a romantic rock ballad that demonstrates the group's versatility.
