Gus Monsanto is a Brazilian hard rock singer that has performed on almost 20 albums since 1995. He has fronted world class bands Adagio (France), Revolution Renaissance (Finland) and Takara (USA). Back in his homeland after the split of RR in late 2010, he joined forces with Bebeto DarOZ (guitar hero of local fame) and started working on a new band that is reminiscent of the music he grew up with. GUNPOINT drinks straight from the source of 70's and 80's early metal: Rainbow, Thin Lizzy, Scorpions, Sabbath, Ozzy/Randy, Judas Priest UFO and others. The chemistry between Gus, Daroz and drummer Leo Pagani (Doogie White, Tribuzy), and Jayme Monsanto (Gus’ brother, wich was featured on the reality show Geléia do Rock) was evident, and led to the recording of the band’s debut EP, At Gunpoint. The 5 songs that are on the EP are stripped-down metal, that's influenced by the old underdogs of the past and trying to add their own twist to the sound.

Gus Monsanto é um cantor brasileiro de hard rock que participou de cerca de 20 CDs desde 1995. Ele foi o vocalista de bandas de renome mundial, como o Adagio (França), Revolution Renaissance (Finlândia, com o guitarrista Timo Tolkki, do Stratovarius) e Takara (EUA). De volta ao Brasil, no final de 2010, juntou forças com o guitarrista Bebeto DarOZ (Possessonica, Libra) e juntos começaram a trabalhar num projeto que remete as suas raízes. A GUNPOINT bebe na fonte do metal dos anos 70 e 80: Rainbow, Thin Lizzy, Scorpions, Sabbath, Ozzy/Randy, Judas Priest, UFO e outros. A inegavel quimica entre Gus, DarOZ e o baterista Léo Pagani (Tribuzy, Doogie White), e seu irmão Jayme Monsanto (que participou do reality show Geléia do Rock, do Multishow), levou a gravação do EP de estréia da banda, At Gunpoint. As 5 canções que estão no EP são um mix de hard rock e metal sem frescuras, influenciado pelos velhos nomes e trazendo algo de novo.

Line up:

Gus Monsanto- Vocal.

Bebeto DarOZ- Guitar.
