5 stars Excellent and Prodigius Minds...Angra's most distinctive progressive rock tendencies have grown by the year.The "The Temple of Hate", Homonim theme is magistral and amazing.Comparatively speaking, more concise material such as "Angels and Demons" and "Waiting Silence" turn the focus toward memorable choruses and inmortal melodies structures.Excellent production of shining moments; that it gathers best of the progressive metal and the Brazilian traditional rates in one sinergia without precedents; in a history which they relate the life of the hunter of shades, a soldier of century XIII.

Songs that are in the memory like: Morning Star and the prodigious Waiting Silence; they allow that Edu Falaschi makes a decent debut; without nostalgia of its previous vocalista André Mattos.

For the followers of the structures of Power Metal, this disc corresponds to them with the standard (Spread Your Fire and Winds Of Destination); this last with the collaboration of Hansi Kürsch de Blind Guardian.

Found feelings and the inherent virtuosity of the musicians who compose angra under the central tandem of Kiko Loureiro (multi-instrumentalist) and Rafael Bittencourt (Guitar) find in the subject Morning Star, all the pretexts to acquire this musical work. Temple of Hate, emblematic subject and homónimo of the production, has preponderant relevance in reference to the set of songs, that compose the conceptual work. It is without a doubt a robust production and totally elaborated; that it did not disappoint the listeners, lovers of the sort and close friends to the movement of the progressive metal. Although the style of angra has changed, the personality of each production has elements that respect their initial musical lineamientos and make contributions of great weight in the music of our days.

Audible compositions, characterize their appearances of colorful and Latin flavor (Not pain for the Dead, The shadow Hunter, Sprouts of Time and Late Redemption). Under the production of Dennis Ward, mature Angra the concept and Kiko Loureiro (orquestales Keyboards and Adjustments) improves the symphonic adjustments with Gate XIII. This movement deserves special attention, at the rate of being the epilogue of the musical work, in where all the signifcativos elements of the central subject can be listened filarmónico way. Being his tenth production, Temple of Hate, surpasses its predecessors, thanks to the collaborations of Milton Nascimento, Kai Hansen and Hansi Kürsch. It is Disco very recommended if you wish that their songs are in the memory of the eternity.
