Angra report from the new album, chapter 01

Angra released on his official youtube channel, the first issue in a series of videos which presents the whole process of production of his new studio album. "It's very important for us to keep our fans updated on everything ! After all, if we are still alive, giving our blood for this new album, it's to thanks the fans for all their support and love during all these years", said the guitarist rafael Bittencourt.

The first chapter shows the first meetings of the band, recorded at Felipe Andreoli and Kiko Loureiro's homes. "We chose to work this way to feel more comfortable. In a conventional studio the climate is not always favorable for great ideas. In this way, it's clear that we take care of each detail of the new CD which will be the best and more complete of our career" said Edu Falaschi.

Angra's message from his official Myspace :

"Hey folks!

We are very excited to bring you these news! We are almost done writing the songs for the new album, and we couldn't be happier! There is a general feeling that this is gonna be a really great album. Every time I listen to ourselves playing the songs, I can't help smiling. We are totally into every little detail and small part to make this one of the best Angra albums ever.

The rehearsals are taking place at Ricardo's country house, near São Paulo. We don't have TV or internet, and phone signal is very poor, so we can't help but concentrate fully on the composition process, and this is intentional. We have a whole new set of challenges in the new arragements, since every part of them is being taken to the next level, both technically and musically.

We will enter the studio in mid February, and we'll keep you posted on the latest news.

Cheers!"
