The members of the band gave an exclusive interview to the journalist Antonio Carlos Monteiro! Here is a translation of the officialnote published on MS Metal Press and an extract from the interview:
"The band Angra, will be on the next Roadie Crew cover, which will be released on April 07 throughout the country. The band which is ready to go on the road with Sepultura in Brazil and Latin America, revealed to the magazine everything that happened since the break of their activities, until the return of the drummer Ricardo Confessori. Here is an extract of the discussion which was managed by Antonio Carlos Monteiro, with the participation of all the musicians :
Roadie Crew : Angra and Sepultura are two very strong bands out there. There is a possibility for the tour to go outside, too ?
Kiko : all is possible. We will start here and see how it goes.
Edu : The fact is that the tour has not started and we have already many requests about shows, including in Europe and Japan, then obviously we will study them. Nothing is closed, but there is the possibility to continue until the end of the year.
Kiko : Once we have finished the tour, we will think about the CD or DVD.
Edu : It’s great to see that after almost two years of absence in the medias, Angra keeps a worldwide importance. It’s good to know, after 18 years, that the story that the band has written is what really matter.
Felipe : i It's not a band that has stopped and that everyone said "Oh, guys, they were stopped." We stopped and created a great regret among people everywhere in the world.
Kiko : It’s fun to see how European journalists have a different point of view on the subject. They always ask us how we can keep a line-up for so long. It’s totally different from the brazilian point of view. For them, we have kept a line-up for nine years and then another one for nine years it’s a feat even more with the Ricardo Confessori come back. Then , the Europeans have a different point of view, for them changes are very natural for a band to stay alive."
