Vocalist ANDRÉ MATOS (ex-ANGRA, ex-SYMFONIA) is featured in an extensive new interview with Dr. Metal at Metal Meltdown. Part 1 of the audio can be found here, a portion of the transcript is available below:

On learning how to sing: "Of course I wanted to sing like Bruce Dickinson. I wanted to sing like Eric Adams from MANOWAR. I wanted to sing like Geoff Tate. Not like Dio, because the voice was way too different, but anyway. Those clearer singers, I was really after them and trying to copy them and imitate them. I was going crazy when I was younger, because I was wondering to myself, 'How come those guys can sing so clear and when they go up there they can shout like hell? How does it work?' And I tried, and I never got it, I never made it. Until one day, I don't know what the heck happened, but I did it. It's like a key that clicks like this. It's like learning how to ride the bicycle. You're a child, you cannot stay up, and suddenly one day you stay up and you never lose that again. You never forget that again, even if you stay years without practicing."

Part 2 of the interview will be available soon.
