O Terço is a venerable name in the Brazilian music scene, particularly noted for their significant contributions to the progressive and psychedelic rock movements in Brazil during the 1970s. Formed in 1968, the band originally leaned towards the Jovem Guarda movement, a trend in Brazilian pop rock; but they soon ventured into more experimental territories, finding their niche in the rich tapestry of progressive sounds. Their music seamlessly blends rock with traditional Brazilian music elements, creating a unique sound that has captivated audiences throughout the decades.

Throughout their expansive career, O Terço has undergone various lineup changes but has consistently produced music that pushes the boundaries of genre and era. They carved out a place in music history with albums like "Criaturas da Noite," still celebrated as a landmark in Brazilian rock. With recent releases like "Som Mais Puro" and "Tributo A Raul Seixas," they show reverence to their roots and influences while continuing to evolve. Their live performances, such as those captured on "Live At Palace (Ao Vivo)," showcase the enduring and dynamic stage presence that has played an integral role in their longevity. The tracks "Adormeceu" and "Velhas Histórias / Edifício Da Avenida Central" testify to the band's ability to interweave the nostalgic with the new, resonating with both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
