Description

2006, The record is the highlight of the bands 15th anniversary celebrations. Recordings were held in two different studios. Aquiles Priester did his sessions at the House Of Audio studios in Germany, under the guidance of long time producer Dennis Ward. After these sessions, Dennis flew down to Brazil to record all other parts with Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt, Felipe Andreoli and Edu Falaschi. The so called Brazilian sessions took place at the Via Musique Estúdios, in São Paulo. Thiago Bianchi was the assistant producer. Dennis is currently mixing the material in Germany. Musically, the new album depicts a much heavier Angra. It doesnt mean the usual style of the band is lost, though. In fact, all tunes still rely on the influence of Brazilian music and theres a lot of percussion in the arrangements, several orchestral parts, etc. The songwriting process saw the participation of Rafael, Kiko, Felipe and Edu, so the album is quite diversified. Contrary to the groundbreaking Temple Of Shadows, this is not a concept album. The artwork is again another amazing piece of art courtesy of Portuguese artist Isabel de Amorim. Angra is also resuming the Temple Of Shadows tour, which accounted for more than 120 dates overall. The very final show happened on August 19th in the Brasil Metal Union festival. This fest was a reunion of the main Brazilian heavy metal bands and Angra was special guest in it for the very first time. The first very big event of the next world tour is also very close. Angra will play in the Loud Park Festival, to be held in Tokyo, Japan, on October 14th and 15th. Besides Angra, other confirmed names in the festival include Slayer, Megadeth, Napalm Death, Backyard Babies and Ministry.
