Getting into the mood of one of the most anticipated films, vocalist Mayara Puertas and guitarist Paula Carregosa deliver the hit "Barbie Girl Death Metal". Released this Wednesday (19), the song is available on all digital platforms and gets an incredible music video today (20), full of animation, femininity and lots of pink. The song is a well-thought-out satire of the classic "Barbie Girl", released in 1997 by the band Aqua. The version features the pink world mixed with the heavy metal world with lyrics created by Mayara Puertas. Girls are often called "metal barbies" - Simone Simons even mentioned this in interviews -, so Mayara Puertas used this hook in the lyrics to say that regardless of appearance, girls like metal and this is part of everyday life of each. "I also used a joke in the lyrics 'While you complain about me, I play faster than Herman Lee', the guitarist from Dragonforce who plays super fast, and one of Paula's trademarks is the fast arpeggios... She is the my "Herman Lee" and I really admire the way she stands up to sexist comments on the Internet and dedicates herself more and more to evolving on her instrument. This is the message we want to convey, your appearance doesn't matter, wear pink and listen to extreme metal , it's all right", says Mayara. About the friendship and partnership with guitarist Paula Carregosa, Mayara comments: "Paula and I have been friends for many years, in 2011 we had a technical death metal band, and when we met again in 2022 we decided to resume our work together. The idea was to start making versions and covers of songs, when Paula brought the idea to make a version of Barbie I thought it was great, because we would have the opportunity to recreate arrangements and lyrics to identify with what we like". Leading the vocals of the band Torture Squad for almost a decade, Mayara Puertas is a show apart. Her stage presence and vocal technique show that her presence in the band not only ensured the continuity of a high-level work, being nominated as the third Best Brutal Vocalist of 2022 (Femm Metal Awards) and among the 10 best Brazilian metal singers of all time (RockBizz). With her band Torture Squad, Mayara has already performed at Rock in Rio, toured Europe and Latin America, accumulating more than 400,000 plays on Spotify in the last year, with listeners from 114 countries. In 2023 she held a series of lectures on the SESC circuit, Summer Breeze Festival and Trends Brasil Conference, bringing voice as a tool of activism and empowerment.
