Livin Garden was a heavy/thrash metal quartet from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, active from 2006 to around 2016, featuring Pablo Kravicz and Vinnie Lazzaretti on guitars, Gabriel Canoro on vocals, and Roberto Krug on drums. The band released two studio albums — "Where I Can Breathe" (2009) and "Bring It On" (2014, via Digmetalworld Records) — the latter supported by an extensive US tour of approximately fifty dates culminating in a filmed show at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles. Their sound blended hard rock, southern rock, and thrash influences with nods to Metallica and KISS.
