Robert Lowe landed at Guarulhos on the evening of Monday, April 6, 2026, after a morning flight out of Bergen and a layover in Amsterdam. Over the next five days Disciple of Doom rehearsed for the first time as a full band, recorded a radio session, met fans in three different places and played two shows. This is the first Disciple of Doom tour of Brazil, day by day.
Tuesday, April 7: the first rehearsal
Disciple of Doom is Robert with three Brazilian musicians: Bruno Luiz on guitar, Fabio Carito on bass and Rodrigo Abelha on drums. The four of them met at Red Star Studios, in Pinheiros, for a rehearsal that ran from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The set had been prepared at a distance, with guide vocals and separate tracks for every instrument, so this was the first time the songs were played with everyone in the same room.
Wednesday, April 8: Kiss FM and Santo André
In the afternoon the band recorded a show and an interview for Kiss Club at Kiss FM, the São Paulo rock station. In the evening they went to Santo André for dinner and a meet and greet at A Gruta Bar.
Thursday, April 9: signing and press
At 1 p.m. Robert sat down for a signing session at London Calling, the record store in Galeria do Rock, on Avenida São João. Fans gathered at the store front for a group photo before the line started.
At 6 p.m. the band held a press conference at The Metal Bar, followed by dinner and a second meet and greet that ran until 11 p.m.
Friday, April 10: La Iglesia, São Paulo
The first show was at La Iglesia, in Pinheiros, with stained glass behind the stage and a red neon cross above the drum kit. Doors opened at 7:30 p.m., Midgard played at 8, Loss at 9, and Disciple of Doom went on at 10:20. The setlist had twelve songs from Robert’s years in Solitude Aeturnus and Candlemass:
- Emperor of the Void
- The 9th Day
- Lament
- Devil Seed
- The Sound of Dying Demons
- Tomorrow’s Dead
- Hourglass

The next morning the band drove to Sorocaba, about 100 km west of São Paulo, for the second and last show of the tour, at The Devil’s Pub. Doors opened at 6 p.m.
