TOLERANCE is a Venezuelan band formed on April 2003 by singer Ricardo FIGUEROA and drummer Rodrigo NUNEZ. After several line-up changes and ten years of hard work, the group finally records its debut album, "When Time Stops", on the Musea Parallèle label. Here's a blend of hard-rock, funk, heavy-metal, classical music and electronic sounds, full of musicianship defined by overwhelming drumming, powerful guitar riffs, clever keyboards arrangements and remarkable vocals. The lyrics are related to topics such as existence, science, politics and environmental issues. Some of the most important band's influences are DEEP PURPLE, RUSH, Steve VAI, MAGELLAN, PLANET X, LIVING COLOUR and DREAM THEATER among others. "When Time Stops" was recorded and mixed in Caracas, Venezuela, and mastered in Nashville, Tennessee. Some Venezuelan guest musicians took part of this recording, including three bassists.
