Brazilian melodic metallers ANGRA celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of their 1993 debut album, “Angels Cry”, with a special concert on August 25 at HSBC Brasil in São Paulo, Brazil.

As a means of celebrating its successful trajectory, the band took the opportunity to schedule a small tour through Brazil and Latin America, which culminated with the show in São Paulo, after 11 dates. If there was any aura of uncertainty towards the future, ANGRA shook it off for good with a very special concert, truly a night to remember. As guitar player Rafael Bittencourt put it, “For those who think we should quit, I tell you: we’re just getting started”. That pretty much summons up the very apparent joy that the band showed onstage, not only that night, but on the whole tour.

A stellar team of guests made everything even more special. Tarja Turunen, formerly of NIGHTWISH, lends her talent and angelic voice on two songs: “Stand Away” and Kate Bush‘s “Wuthering Heights”. On the latter, the legendary Uli Jon Roth (SCORPIONS) is also featured, and shows why he is such a reference for the majority of guitar players around the world. The Brazilian string quartet FAMILIA LIMA appears in three songs, and drummer Amilcar Christopharo, from the band TORTURE SQUAD, grabs the sticks on “Evil Warning”, representing the metal bands from Brazil.

“Angels Cry 20th Anniversary Tour” will be released as a separate DVD and a double CD, containing over 20 tracks in total and extra behind-the-scenes footage captured during the latest tour.

Brazilian melodic metallers ANGRA will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their 1993 debut album, “Angels Cry”, with a special concert on August 25 at HSBC Brasil in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The show, which will be recorded for a DVD, will feature guest appearances by Tarja Turunen (NIGHTWISH), Russell Allen (SYMPHONY X, ADRENALINE MOB) and Uli Jon Roth (SCORPIONS).

Former ANGRA singer André Matos celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of “Angels Cry” by performing the LP in its entirety on his recent solo tour, which kicked off in March. The show consisted of two parts, with the first part focusing on the material André wrote and recorded with SHAMAN and VIPER, as well as during his solo career.

ANGRA tapped acclaimed Italian vocalist Fabio Lione (VISION DIVINE, RHAPSODY OF FIRE, KAMELOT) to front the band for its most recent live performance, including an appearance aboard 70000 Tons Of Metal, the world’s biggest heavy metal cruise, which sailed on January 28 from Miami, Florida and returned to the real world on February 1.

Singer Eduardo “Edu” Falaschi quit ANGRA in May 2012. He explained in a statement, “There comes a moment in a man’s life when it is necessary to make a radical decision in order to move forward with dignity and renewed energy.”

Falaschi joined ANGRA in 2000 and appeared on the band’s last four studio albums — 2001’s “Rebirth”, 2004’s “Temple Of Shadows”, 2006’s “Aurora Consurgens” and 2010’s “Aqua”.

ANGRA has yet to announce a permanent replacement for Falaschi, who is focusing on ALMAH and other projects.

Vocalist ANDRÉ MATOS (SYMFONIA, ex-ANGRA), along with his solo band, will launch the promotional tour for his new album, The Turn Of The Lights, with an extra bonus for the fans: the band will play the Angra album, Angels Cry, in full.

ANDRE_MATOS

Released in 1993, Angels Cry was Andre Matos’ first album with Angra, just recently formed at the time. The vocalist, despite his young age, had already recorded two successful albums with the band Viper and studied classical piano, composition and conducting. Besides recording vocals and keyboards for all tracks, Andre Matos was the writer and arranger of nine out of ten tracks on the album, including ‘Carry On’, which became a worldwide heavy metal hit. With his cutting edge combination of power and progressive metal, classical music rhythm and elements, Angels Cry became a huge international success and placed the Brazilian band among the main power metal bands of their time.

Matos, who has recently released the album The Turn Of The Lights in over 30 countries, will start his new tour in March. The vocalist and his band promise a complete show, which will be divided in two parts: first part will feature songs from his new album and hits from his whole career – including VIPER, SHAMAN and solo band eras – and on the second part, the album Angels Cry will be played in full, celebrating 20 years of a unique moment that made history.

ALEX LANDENBURG’s first major step into the spotlight was at age 26 when Jeff Waters asked him to join one of Canada’s most important Metal acts ever – ANNIHILATOR. He toured with Annihilator, supporting the record “Metal” which was recorded by none other than drum legend Mike Mangini. Shortly after Uli Kusch himself asked Alex to replace him in the legendary progressive band MEKONG DELTA. In Alex’s musical carreer we can add also the bands, as 21Octayne, Angels Cry, Axxis, Stratovarius, and Timo Tolkki’s Symfonia… Now, in 2012 Alex is super excited about his newest endeavour – playing with Luca Turilli’s RHAPSODY, which he has joined as their new permanent drummer! Alex states: “What an amazing opportunity to join the band together with new singer Alessandro Conti and to start this new chapter together! I can’t wait to get out on the road and to play the new stuff as well as the Rhapsody classics”!

A week ago I had a pleasure to interview Alex, we were talking about his past, present and future, please join our conversation…
