New Angra Album!

Looks like the new Angra album will be out in early/mid-Fall. There is plenty of news about it on their website, but check out the latest journal entry from Edu and Rafael. Oh, and it seems a world tour is in the works too!

Hey, everybody!

We’ve just woken up and have great news to tell you: the new album is READY! So now we can finally talk about it with more certainty.

First of all, the songs are awesome! Really, really good! The production is perfect too, the sound of instruments is even heavier and clearer than in our previous albums. The band sounds more powerful and tighter as well.

This is a very complex record, truly sophisticated. It’s not just another metal album, it’s much more than that. The richness of the songs can be felt in the concept, the versatility, the spontaneity, the technic, the feeling and the emotions that flow throughout the whole record. It’s easy to figure out our emotions in the tracks. It’s a special thing, totally unconventional.

The story is about the saga of a crusader knight that ends up disputing the expansionist ideals of the Catholic Church in the eleventh century. He is known as The Shadow Hunter. His way of thinking changes step by step until he gets to the point of beginning a new reforming order. There’s a lot of things happening in his life and each song is a chapter of the story. It’s amazing to follow the lyrics as you listen to the songs. Each situation is totally different from the other.

Overall, this album is a bit longer than the others Angra has made so far. We tried to do something new and didn’t think twice about the possibility of experimenting. After all, we always focus in the artistic side and in what has been Angra’s most striking mark since day one: ORIGINALITY!

Today is July 14th and we are leaving for Japan. We’ll meet Kiko there (he’s going from Brazil) and the three of us are gonna promote the album. We’re doing a couple of acoustic gigs, plus interviews, photo sessions and so on. However, we look forward to coming back to Brazil and showing to the fans what we achieved in the new album, Angra’s very best in our opinion.

Thank you very much for your patience, support and wait!

Edu and Rafael.

I'm certainly waiting for it. Lets see what Angra bring us this time.

I hope it gets better than Rebirth, cos I must say right now that Shaman > Angra.

Anyway, the best power metal band right now IMO is Lost Horizon. I can't get enough of that kids. Matt, I'll send you a soon if I catch you online, your pants are gonna fall down!

I have now downloaded five songs from this album. And they all rule so much! Edu is by far my favorite clean singer now, after hearing his work on this album. I am so pumped about this release now! I can't wait until that morning when I speed my car over to the record store to go and pick it up.

OdinsCourt · September 16th, 2004, 02:29 PM

I thought Rebirth was AMAZING. It rivals HL and AC! And from what I've heard off of the new one, it is just as good yet again.

That Lost Horizon song is freakin' awesome.

Hell, where are you getting these songs from? I have 2 copies of the CD on the way to me right now.

Hellholming · September 17th, 2004, 06:33 PM

hehe, I downloaded the entire album yesterday from SoulSeek. I like it alot and will definately be picking it up when it gets available. I have no idea what the people who are bashing Edu'äs vocals on this one are talking about. I think he's amazing.
