Schizophrenia

Produced by Cogumelo Records.

The classical intro is "O Fortuna", the opening score of Carl Orff's canata Carmina Burana, composed in 1935/36. The song is also reprised at the end of the opera.

The soundtrack of the movie "Psycho" is featured in the opening track.

On some versions of the Roadrunner re-release, the title is misspelled as "Schizoprenia" on the spine, omitting the "H".

After writing and composing 95% of the material for Schizophrenia, lead guitarist Jairo Guedz decided to leave the band before finishing it.

"Escape to the Void" is a cover (with different lyrics) of "Escape Into the Mirror" of Andreas Kisser's former band Pestilence.

Even though Paulo Jr. is credited on the album itself as a bassist, he didn't actually play on it. It was Andreas Kisser who played both bass and lead guitar on this album, both roles he would use on the next few albums.
