Project46 is a heavy metal band from São Paulo, Brazil. Since forming in 2008 by guitarists and childhood friends, Jean Patton and Vinicius Castellari, the quintet has released one E.P. and two full-length albums and have played several large rock and metal festivals in and around Brazil and South America. Known for their politically and socially controversial lyrics, Project46’s popularity outside of Brazil has been steadily growing and as of summer 2015 could be heard on American satellite radio, with Sirius XM's Liquid Metal channel playing the first track “Caos Renomeado” from their 2014 album, Que Seja Feita A Nossa Vontade.

History
Project46 started as a Slipknot tribute band named Kroach, but evolved into writing original music and taking on the moniker "Project46" to pay homage to Slipknot members #4 and #6. The band initially experimented with lyrics in English on their first release, 2009's E.P., If You Want Your Survival Sign Wake up Tomorrow, which included four tracks and was released independently.
Their first full-length album, Doa a Quem Doer, was produced by notable, Brazilian metal producer Adair Daufembach and released independently in 2011. Shortly after its release, the band announced that Henrique Pucci would replace Gui Figueiredo as drummer.
In November 2012, Project46 played their first shows outside of Brazil. Invited to play the 2012 Maquinaria Festival in Chile, they shared the stage with such acts as Cavalera Conspiracy, Stone Sour and Slayer. Footage from this performance was used in the video for “Acorda Pra Vida”.
They also opened São Paulo's Monsters of Rock Festival in 2013, where fans voted them in as the only local act to play on Day 1 of the festival, opening for Gojira, Korn and Slipknot.
Project46’s rendition of Slipknot's "Heretic Anthem" was chosen as the “Best Slipknot Cover 2013” by the Fans of Slipknot Facebook page, which helped introduce the band to an international audience.
Towards the end of 2013, they began recording their next full-length album, again pairing up with producer Adair Daufembach. Their sophomore effort, Que Seja Feita a Nossa Vontade, was released by the Wikimetal Music label in Brazil in April 2014, with a CD launch party called “46Fest” at the Carioca Club in São Paulo.
