Update: sadly, the concert was canceled due to technical difficulties setting up the stage. We hope this doesn’t damage the great image Costa Rica has been building up with high-profile concerts like Iron Maiden and Metallica.
We received really good news today!
The Costa Rican band Diesel has been selected as one of the opening acts for the Guns N’ Roses concert to be held on April 9th, at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa. The other opening acts will be Ghandi and Akasha, also local.
Diesel has been very successful locally, exclusively playing hard rock and heavy metal classics from the likes of Metallica, AC/DC, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Pneuma’s Tony Masís and Daniel Vega are also members of Diesel, and we wish them all the best of luck.

The music video for Dethroned is now available on Facebook and YouTube! Here it is:
There’s a menu at the bottom of the video where you can pick the High Definition version. We recommend you select HD and view Dethroned in full screen mode. It’s the best way to enjoy this video on the ‘net.
The video was shot in San José, Costa Rica, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of:
- Girls INC.
- Marlon Villar, director, and his production team at Roca Negra Films.
- Our friends and fans who stuck with us for hours while shooting.
Thank you!
We’ll be distributing this video all over the place, so if you have any contacts that can help us distribute the video in your country, please let us know!
Pneuma’s manager Marco Sansonetti came up with this great banner for the video presentation:
YES, the presentation will be this Wednesday, March 10th at Latino Rock Café. No cover charge!
Here’s a playlist we’ve put together with all videos from the show we’ve found on YouTube. There are 3 so far, but we hope we add more as we find them. Please let us know if you know of any videos we haven’t included, even from other video sites!
There is a lot of press and different links going around, and you can keep track of those on our Twitter and Facebook. This one in particular is worth sharing. Our friend Ronald Reyes took these awesome pictures of the show:
It’s confirmed, the presentation of the Dethroned music video will happen Wednesday, March 10th, at Latino Rock Café in La California. The event is free to enter for everyone. We will be presenting the video and all the exciting stuff that has been happening around the website and the Metallica concert.
Here’s the flier we’ll be handing out today at the concert lines (click for full size):
One of the greatest of honors has been bestowed onto us. We will be opening the Metallica / Mastodon concert to be held tomorrow night at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa in San José, Costa Rica, part of Metallica’s World Magnetic Tour. We still can’t believe it, but we’re taking this very seriously.
We have been working around the clock rehearsing, setting up our website (plus Facebook and Twitter), finishing our album artwork, and planning future events.
Rehearsals were finished last night and the band is sounding better than ever. We think the audience is in for a very big surprise; this is truly a presentation worth the bands following us.
The set list for tomorrow will be:
- Control
- Crazed Apocalyptic Wave
- 90 Million Seconds
- Dethroned
For a total of 20 minutes on stage. All songs are part of our upcoming album Anomaly.
We already have a date for our video launch for Dethroned. It will happen next Wednesday, March 10th, at Latino Rock Cafe. More details will be posted soon.
These are extremely exciting times for us! We’d like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the fans that have stuck with us throughout the years. It’s because of you that we are where we are right now.
See you tomorrow!
