│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Brazilian/Italian metallers ANGRA will release ║ │
│║ their new album, "Secret Garden", on January 16, ║ │
│║ 2015 via earMUSIC. The CD was pre-produced by ║ │
│║ Roy Z (JUDAS PRIEST, BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD) ║ │
│║ and recorded and produced in Sweden by Jens ║ │
│║ Bogren (KREATOR, ARCH ENEMY, OPETH, ║ │
│║ DRAGONFORCE). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Secret Garden" "brings together everything that ║ │
│║ has established ANGRA as one of biggest bands in ║ │
│║ its style: contemporary sound combined with ║ │
│║ inspired compositions," according to a press ║ │
│║ release. It shows the maturity of a band that, ║ │
│║ after 23 years on the road, continues with the ║ │
│║ same motivation and passion for music that drove ║ │
│║ the glorious beginning of the group. The ║ │
│║ compositions mend together elements that made ║ │
│║ the band known around the world, foregrounding ║ │
│║ the unity of seemingly distinct styles and ║ │
│║ combining in a unique way styles such as rock - ║ │
│║ in its various forms, classical music and ║ │
│║ Brazilian music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Secret Garden" is yet another masterpiece by ║ │
│║ the group and promises to become a great classic ║ │
│║ in the metal world. Like almost all of ANGRA's ║ │
│║ work, "Secret Garden" is a concept album which ║ │
│║ brings up the question: can something that does ║ │
│║ not exist to the eyes, or is not perceived by ║ │
│║ the senses, be considered as non-existent? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The songs tell the fictional story of scientist ║ │
│║ Morten Vrolik who fights to restore his ║ │
│║ happiness after a tragic accident that took the ║ │
│║ life of his wife. Faced with the harsh new ║ │
│║ reality, Morten is forced to revise his ║ │
│║ atheistic beliefs and values in order to recover ║ │
│║ a sense of personal contentment that was taken ║ │
│║ away by fate. The sudden change in his routine, ║ │
│║ the adaptability, synchronicity, loneliness, ║ │
│║ guilt, hope and the strength to rise anew are ║ │
│║ some of the topics discussed in the lyrics, ║ │
│║ always put to light under different perspectives ║ │
│║ ù be they religious, scientific, philosophical ║ │
│║ or merely aesthetic. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ANGRA, the most representative band of the ║ │
│║ Brazilian power metal scene worldwide, is back ║ │
│║ with full power. Italian vocalist Fabio Lione ║ │
│║ embeds the music with his powerful voice and ║ │
│║ impressive performance whereas young prodigy ║ │
│║ Bruno Valverde impresses on drums, giving the ║ │
│║ group a more modern sound. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ One of the great strengths of the album is the ║ │
│║ variety of great guest musicians: Simone Simons ║ │
│║ from the Dutch band EPICA divinely interprets ║ │
│║ the song "Secret Garden" while the great metal ║ │
│║ diva Doro Pesch sings an exciting vocal duet ║ │
│║ with Rafael Bittencourt on "Crushing Room". ║ │
│║ Actually, the various appearances of Rafael's ║ │
│║ lead vocals make for some of the strongest ║ │
│║ moments on this album, causing a contrast in ║ │
│║ tone and interpretation in comparison to Fabio. ║ │
│║ This also becomes evident in the cover that the ║ │
│║ band chose to record, "Synchronicity II" by THE ║ │
│║ POLICE. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The front cover and album design cleverly ║ │
│║ interlace the music and story into a beautiful ║ │
│║ artwork ù created by designer Rodrigo Bastos ║ │
│║ Didier, representing the dreamlike moments of ║ │
│║ the album's story. The entrance to the secret ║ │
│║ garden, a representation of the unconscious and ║ │
│║ the whole atmosphere of mystery intend to bring ║ │
│║ to the fan an experience that transcends merely ║ │
│║ listening to the songs. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Once again, ANGRA brings to the scene a ║ │
│║ bombastic, electrifying release, capable of ║ │
│║ generating new trends, justifying with greatness ║ │
│║ and elegance why they have been recognized as ║ │
│║ one of the leading global power and progressive ║ │
│║ metal bands for over two decades. ║ │
