Back in 2004 - Angra (SOtD MCCXXI)

Back in 2004, Angra released the album Temple Of Shadows.
Considered by many as the best album yet from the Brazilian Power Metal band, it was their fifth full-length album.

Angra - Winds of Destination

Angra - Angels Cry (1993) (SOtD DCCCXCVIII)

Angels Cry was the debut album from my favorite Brazilian band, the Power Metal combo, Angra.

Angra - Unfinished Allegro + Carry On

Song Of the Day - CCLXIV - Angra

Remembering 2001...
This was the year of the Rebirth of Angra, after the split that almost destroyed the band. This is also one of the best albums from them.

Angra - Nova Era

Song Of the Day - LXXXIII - South American Metal Tour: Brazil

Angra is one of my favourite bands, ever!
They were awesome with André Matos on vocals and they're just as awesome, and on occasion even a bit more awesome, although different, with Edu Falaschi on vocals. The way how they mix the typical Brazilian rhythms in their Progressive Power Metal riffs and melodies, courtesy of Rafael Bittencourt's musical education, makes their sound unique and so beautiful!

Angra - Deus Le Volt! & Spread Your Fire

Song Of the Day - XVI - 70s and 80s Pop Covers

It's not something that I like, to give the Song Of the Day air time twice to the same band in so short amount of time, with so many great bands out there.
But in a week dedicated to Metal covers of Pop songs, this version of Wuthering Heights from Kate Bush, played by Brazilian Power Metal band Angra, here still with the incredible voice of André Matos, just couldn't be out.

Song Of the Day - X

In April I'm planning on starting a series of posts with a tour on the American continent, starting in Brazil.
I will probably discover a lot of great bands, but right now, these guys are my favourite South American band.

Angra - Heroes Of Sand
