The Brazilian band has been a sales leader in Japan since the band was formed in the 90’s. “We are doing really well in Brazil, Japan and Europe! Even nowadays when almost everything is available for free download, it is good to see that our fans prefer to buy an original material. The sales have been beyond our expectations. The sky is the limit! Thanks so much to everyone who collaborated to have Angra back to the scene! Our return has been very special!”, said the guitarist Rafael Bittencourt.
