Brazilian \/ Italian metal band Angra have signed an album contract with Atomic Fire Records, revealing this development on July 4th, 2023.<\/p>\n

Founding member and guitarist Rafael Bittencourt issued the following statement: \u201cI\u2019m very proud to announce that our newest album will come out on the 3rd of November and it\u2019s going to be released and distributed by Atomic Fire Records. We\u2019re very proud to be part of the Atomic Fire Records family now. It\u2019s a special moment for us in the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, who started the band over 30 years ago, but also for everyone in the band, we\u2019re now in the third generation which means in the era of our third singer as we have Fabio Lione on vocals. So this will be the third record of the third generation. It\u2019s our 10th studio album, so it\u2019s like keeping the legacy but also focusing on the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very funny to have this partnership with Atomic Fire Records because the word \u2018Angra\u2019 also stands for a place in Brazil where an atomic reactor was built in the 70s. This nuclear power plant is basically created to originate a kind of clean energy, but it\u2019s a very powerful one which could save the world in a way, but also destroy it. It\u2019ll be a very huge explosion and metaphorically we can say that it\u2019s going to be a very strong album and I hope to burn the world with music which can heal the soul of sad and lonely people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atomic Fire Records A&R Markus Wosgien added: \u201cI remember receiving the Angra demo Reaching Horizon<\/em> in 1992 for the fanzine I published in the 90s. I fell in love immediately, this was simply a new form of power metal \u2013 and after his departure in Viper, Andr\u00e9 Matos finally had a new home back then. One year later, Angels Cry<\/em>, which I still consider being one of the best power metal albums of all time, was released, and over the years, Angra always developed, but still remained true to themselves. We are more than happy to be a part of their future now and to release their upcoming tenth studio album that blew us away once more. For us, Angra is also a matter to our hearts since they\u2019re a band we\u2019ve always been following, respecting and loving; our whole team is more than proud that the band and their management decided to join our roster and to trust in us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angra\u2019s line-up is as follows:<\/p>\n

Fabio Lione (vocals, (Athena XIX, ex-Rhapsody Of Fire, ex-Vision Divine)
\nRafael Bittencourt (guitars)
\nMarcelo Barbosa (guitars, ex-Almah)
\nFelipe Andreoli (bass)
\nBruno Valverde (drums)<\/p>\n

Tenth full-length studio album Cycles Of Pain<\/em> is to be issued on November 3rd, 2023.<\/p>\n

Ninth studio record \u00d8mni<\/em> was released<\/a> in February 2018 via earMUSIC.<\/p>\n
