edition, playing together with English band Pendragon at the Teatro João Caetano. One year later, in 1999, they were invited to play in the USA, at the long running progressive rock festival, Progday. This show would make history, because it was the first time a Brazilian band recorded a show in the USA for a CD release. The album Live in USA was released as a double CD with a CD-ROM track containing a videoclip and a booklet with many photographs from the US trip. The CD was released in 2000 and Rock Symphony took over the distribution. The CD Refúgio was released in 2003 by the Rock Symphony and Musea labels with new tracks such as “Viagem no Tempo”, “Amazônia”, “Lembranças Eternas”, “Refúgio”, “Liberdade”, “Terceiro Milênio” and the epic “Cachoeira das Águas Douradas”. As a bonus, it also includes two songs from the “Live in USA” double CD. By 2004, Chico Casara (vocal and bass) left Apocalypse, and the other musicians decide to go on with a new line-up. Singer Gustavo Demarchi and bass player Magoo Wise were invited to join the band. Apocalypse took on a new project: to record some of their old hits in English and also to start writing in the newly adopted language. In September 2005, Apocalypse was invited to another festival, this time the Rock Symphony For The Record festival at the Teatro Municipal de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The band's concert, on September 8, was released in DVD through Rock Symphony label together with Musea Record Company.
