帮楼主补个介绍啊，方便不太了解这个乐队的同志们。
——————————————————————————
Angra，火神，一位巴西掌管火燄的女神的名字。
他们成军於1991年，由Andre Matos、Kiko Loureiro、Rafael Bittencourt、Luis Mariutti及Marco Antunes
五人组成。当时他们的主唱Andre己经是一位知名的乐手，为Viper这个团的主唱，後来因为音乐理念不合而离
开Viper，并寻找其他适合的团员组新团。後来他找到了他们的吉他手之一Rafael Bittencourt，Rafael是一位
杰出的古典吉他手，当时刚离开Spitfire这个团。接著同样待过Spitfire的Marco Antunes也加入Angra成为他
们的鼓手，这时的Angra己经稍具规模了。
紧跟著，由於Firebox前贝斯手Luis Mariutti及另一位吉他手Kiko Loureiro，一位相当富有创造性的吉他手，
的加入使的Angra更趋於完整性。後来在1993年鼓手Marco Antunes离去，由Ricardo Confessori加入取代鼓手
一职，至此的Angra成员也是现在我们所知道的五位。
团员找齐後的几个月，Angra的第一张demo专辑“Reaching Horiaons”产生，这张专辑包了6首歌，曲风以充满
了速度与旋律优美的和旋进行为主，这张专辑相当的成功，并使得他们得到了进德国汉堡的Kai Hansen's录音
室有机会，当时是1993年的夏天。他们在那录制作了第一张正式的专辑“Angels Cry”，虽然这是他们第一次
登上世界的舞台，但是却受到了亚洲及南美洲许多媒体的赞赏，在日本这张专辑的销售量达到第三名，约十万
六千多张；在组国巴西是Eldorado Records(隶属於新力SNOY公司)卖的最好的唱片之一，并被一本杂志
(Brazil's Rock Brigade magazine)评Angra为最佳唱片、主唱、最佳键盘手，专辑里的“Carry on”这首歌为
最佳乐曲…等，是有史以来得到最多奖的乐团，“Time”这首曲子的音乐录影带在巴西及日本的电视上被拨放
了好一段时间，“Carry on”的音乐录影带在巴西也获得最佳MTV的提名。
1994年，Angels Cry销售到欧洲，欧洲知名的杂志Rock Hard评这张专辑为9.5分(满分为10分)。同年夏天，主
唱 Andre将"Evil Warning", "Angels Cry" and "Carry On"这三首从新混音录成一张EP，Evil Warning，限定
数量一万三千张只在日本发行，并与一件T-恤一起发售，由於限量的发行使得这成为所有Angra的乐迷争相收藏
的收集品。
1995年，Angra展开的欧洲的巡回，到5个国家举办11场的演唱会，其中包含的二场的露天演唱会；另外并到德
国录制"Holy Land"专辑。
Angra的音乐受的古典式的影响以优美的旋律诠释重金属乐，不仅显示出每位凸出的音乐造诣，无庸置疑的，更
是受的广大乐迷的喜爱。
很不幸的早期Angra的组合却因为团员间理念的不合，在2000年年底正式宣告解散，但是并不是完全的解散，而
是主唱、贝斯手与鼓手求去另组一团，而二位吉他手留下仍为Angra的成员，并积极的寻找新团员。这样的发展
另许多的乐迷感到相当的失望。对於拆团的事件，二位吉他手与主唱Andre也分别公开的发表声明来对此事作一
解释[1, 2]。
新团员首先决定的是新任主唱的人选，在许多优秀的人选中，最後决定以同样为巴西乐团Symbol乐团的主唱
Eduardo Falaschi加入，因此他同时兼任Symbol与Angra二团的主唱，而他原本及为Angra团员的朋友，有他的
加入预期会合作愉快。另外新任的贝斯手与鼓手则由Felipe Andreoli与Priester继任。这个新的组合目前正积
极的在准备新专辑，而单曲Acid Rain的Demo也录制完成[3]。
虽然Angra历经这样的改组过程，但是我们仍是由衷的期盼他们仍继续作出动人的音乐，但是可以预想的是在乐
风上必然也会有所转变。

The greatest brazilian metal band!
Vocalist Edu Falaschi, drummer Aquiles Priester, and bassist Felipe Andreoli have joined founding members, guitarists and main songwriters Kiko Loureiro and Rafael Bittencourt to complete the new lineup of Angra.
The band is currently going through a very fruitful songwriting period. There are several new tracks already completed, plus many others being finalized. The five-piece has just recorded a new four-track demo tape, and all of its songs will also appear on the forthcoming studio album, set to be released in the second half of 2001.
The essence of the musical style that made the band successful worldwide is still intact. Listeners will notice even more powerful guitars, with catchy riffs and memorable solos, vocals with huge feeling, and the thundering rhythm section, that gather the strength of heavy metal with classical influences and typical Brazilian sounds.
Kiko Loureiro and Rafael Bittencourt, both renowned musicians, have been in the ranks of Angra since its inception back in 1991. Each of the three new musicians were chosen because of his experience, technical abilities, and perfect matching with the rest of the group, both artistically and personally, since the first rehearsals.
Handling vocal duties is 28-year-old Edu Falaschi. Because of his experience, impressive stage presence, and longtime friendship with the other members of Angra, Falaschi was somewhat of a natural choice. Edu has been a professional singer since 1992, when he recorded his first album with the band Mitrium. In 1994 he participated in a contest to choose the singer to replace Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden and was one of the finalists from around the world. He recorded two CDs with the band Symbols, Symbols (1998) and Call to the End (2000), aside from recordings with other side projects. Falaschi's influences are '80s heavy metal bands like Iron Maiden, the Scorpions, and Dio. Through the years, he has developed his own way of singing - a melodious but powerful voice. Today he is one of Brazil's most respected metal singers.
Aquiles Priester, Angra's new drummer, was born in South Africa on June 25th, 1971. Living in Brazil since age five, Priester fell in love with music in 1985, courtesy of the first edition of the world famous Rock In Rio festival, which had big impact in the Brazilian scene back then. Hugely influenced by heavy metal, he took part of many bands in the town of Porto Alegre, where he lived. He started getting noticed as a musician when he joined local band Hangar, an opening-act for Angra in a Porto Alegre gig in 1998. In the following year, Priester was invited to record Nomad, former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno's solo album, recorded in Brazil solely with Brazilian musicians. He also played on the extensive tour that followed Nomad's release. Such experience, plus his great talent, made him the perfect drummer to join Angra.
New bassist Felipe Andreoli was born in São Paulo in March 7th, 1980. He started playing the acoustic guitar when he was 12. A year later, influenced by the likes of Metallica and Megadeth, he turned his attention to the bass guitar. From 1993 to 1997 he joined many bands, playing cover versions and original material alike. He gained some experience with such semiprofessional acts. With local band Metris, he had his first recording experience in 1997. By the end of 1999, he was invited to join the band Karma and recorded with group its first CD, Inside The Eyes. He also played on the band Di'Anno, having recorded the Nomad CD and taken part of the tour that followed the release of the album. Among the many bassists he admires are big names like Billy Sheehan and Jaco Pastorius.
