ANGRA - Brand New Song Streaming
July 12, 2010, 14 years ago
Brazilian power metal band ANGRA is currently streaming their brand new song, 'Arising Thunder' via MySpace.
'Arising Thunder' will appear on Angra's forthcoming album, Aqua, which is scheduled for release in Japan on August 11th, in Brazil on August 17th, in Europe on September 24th and in The US on October 5th.
Aqua is the seventh full length from Angra and the first material released in the last four years. It also marks the return of drummer Ricardo Confessori to the band.
Aqua is a Latin word that means water in English. The concept and composition of the album was directly inspired by The Tempest – the last play written by William Shakespeare. “We really dedicated ourselves to the last work of Shakespeare to create Aqua. Besides all the qualities of the text, we found out that the element water is one of the main characters of the history. It transforms itself during the cycles and changes the things around. It represents the rage of high tides and tempests, and then the forgiveness and wisdom in calm. Everything happens after a violent storm that occurs in the sea, in an island hill. While the wild waters come from up and down, a ship and the entire crew are fighting for surviving. As from this point, we developed one very interesting narrative that will get the attention of the listeners,” said guitarist Rafael Bittencourt.
Aqua will feature the following tracklisting:
'Viderunt Te Aquae'
'Arising Thunder'
'Awake From Darkness'
'Lease Of Life'
'The Rage Of The Waters'
'Spirit Of The Air'
'Hollow'
'A Monster In Her Eyes'
'Weakness Of A Man'
'Ashes'
