Based in Ocean Beach, SAMELAND was formed in late 2016 by Fernando Nepo, Diogo Figueiredo, and Rafa Scatolin. The songs are a representation of our voices and beliefs, a constant fight for equality and humanity, and the true joy of doing what we really like. 
The album "Set In Motion" was released in January 2018, mixed and mastered by Gab Scatolin at Mug Studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil - who also produced Rafa Scatolin's other band "No Kings". The album was preceded by a single for "No Escape," for which a video was shot featuring the band rocking out in the desert amid dilapidated buildings covered in graffiti, with members seen in gas masks while someone in a ski mask prowls around the scrub brush and abandoned cars.

“We shot at the Salton Sea beach,” says Nepo. "The deterioration status of the place was the perfect fit for our purpose, since ‘No Escape’ talks about the need of voicing out our opinions, issues, and concerns before it’s too late.”
