REBIRTH

Angra has returned!! As the album is named "Rebirth" the band is in its process of total renovation, and they have shown us that they can still give us some tasty, powerful and melodic metal with "Rebirth" The new line-up in "Angra" is even better, the new bassist, Felipe Andreoli, is a powerful bassist, with powerful bass lines in songs like "unholy Wars" Aquiles "Octopus" Priester is the type of drummer Angra just needed, powerfdul double bassing, great speed among other aspects, a well deserved nickname of "Octopus" and Edu Falaschi, new vocalist, while not having the high tones Matos had, he can still stay within Angra lines and make them sound powerful, what makes this new vocalist great is the feeling into his songs, great! And back to the album, it opens with a smooth and symphonical "In Excelcis" that is jsut and intro for a more powerful "Nova Era" one of the most reminicent tracks in the album. There are other highlights in the album, like Acid Rain, the speed builder Millennium Sun, the powerful Heroes of Sand, Running Alone and... My favorite track in the album "Unholy Wars" which reminds us of "Carolina IV" from "Holy Land" I just love this track, there is this Brazilian intro, with some classic brazillian sounds, passing into a madful speed metal, I just love the lyrics "Revealing ages while the absence of forgivness rules our lives!" An excelent album in general, a great piece in every Angra collection and most of all my friends... Angra is reborn.
