After they played at Planeta Atlântida, the biggest music festival in the south of Brazil, with other Brazilian rock and popular artists, the Atração Fonográfica record label made an offer for Apocalypse to release a compilation. Apocalypse, with the kind permission of Musea Records, took the best of their three works released by the French label Perto do Amanhecer
, Aurora dos Sonhos
and Lendas Encantadas
and the CD was released on the Brazilian market.
