Hum of the Mines
Original Title: âRuĂdo das Minasâ
âA origem do Heavy Metal em Belo Horizonte.â
Overview
RuĂdo das Minas was produced by journalists Filipe Sartoreto, Gracielle Fonseca, and Rafael Sette Câmara as a graduation project in Social Communication at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). The film gained visibility after being screened at the first IN-EDIT Brazil International Music Documentary Festival in June and July 2009, in SĂŁo Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. This exposure led to an invitation from MTV Brasil, and the documentary was later broadcast as part of the channelâs Doc.MTV programming block, dedicated to music documentaries. Heavy guitars, long hair, crosses, and demons: heavy metal from Minas Gerais became one of Brazilâs most influential scenes. Belo Horizonte gave rise to bands such as Overdose, SarcĂłfago, and one of the biggest metal acts in the world, Sepultura. RuĂdo das Minas tells this story through the voices of those who lived the early days of heavy metal in the state capital firsthand.
