Titanomaquia (Titanomachia) is the seventh album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs. All songs are credited to the band as a whole (sometimes crediting the just-departed Arnaldo Antunes as well), as it happened in the previous album, Tudo ao Mesmo Tempo Agora. Also, it marks the first time Jack Endino worked with them, the only foreign one as of May 2015.

A section of "Disneylândia" was used as part of a question of the 2013 ENEM de 2013, specifically "Pilhas americanas alimentam eletrodomésticos ingleses na Nova Guiné / Gasolina árabe alimenta automóveis americanos na África do Sul. / (...) / Crianças iraquianas fugidas da guerra / Não obtém visto no consulado americano do Egito / Para entrarem na Disneylândia" (American batteries feed English home appliances in New Guinea / Arab gas feeds American cars in South Africa / (...) / War-fleeing Iraqi children / Do not obtain visa at the American consulate in Egypt / To enter Disneyland") for the examinees to analyze consuming and production relations in the world. The track was erroneously credited to Arnaldo Antunes only, when it had actually been written by the whole band.[2]

Background

The initiative to have the album produced by Jack Endino came from the band itself. Through their label WEA, they sent him their Õ Blésq Blom album. Endino was initially confused as to why a band with such a sound was willing to have him produce their album, but once the band sent him newer songs, he became interested. :[3]

It became clear that they really wanted to make rock 'n' roll with strong guitars, and the closest they have ever gotten to such idea, so far, was with Cabeça Dinossauro. I went to Brazil and started to realize exactly what they were planning to do, and the album leaned towards more of a "hard rock" side. [...] I know that it divided Titãs fans, but many of them, ten years later, still want Titãs to record another "hard rock" album such as that one. I'm sure, because I receive many e-mails from fans.

About Antunes absence, Endino commented that the mood among the band wasn't tense and that the group, still a seven-piece band, was not upset about the member's exit, although they still showed much care for him.[3]
