Co-Producer, Recording Engineer

Leopoldo Lopes played a key role in making "Blacken the Angel." As a co-producer, he was in charge of recording all the tracks. His incredible skills were essential in creating the album's unique vibe, blending rich, atmospheric sounds with the high-energy punch you expect from symphonic black metal. Leopoldo Lopes really nailed the balance between these elements, resulting in an amazing listening experience that grabs your attention.

"Black Metal was not new to me; I had been listening to it since I discovered bands like Bathory, Emperor, and Dimmu Borgir. When I met Agathodaimon and discussed the idea of creating a symphonic piece that blended with Black Metal, I found it both challenging and an opportunity to evolve the genre. Working on this album was a rewarding experience, and I enjoyed helping the band enhance their already impressive production quality."
