ANGRA BIOGRAPHY
Angra is a progressive power metal formation from São Paulo, Brazil. Formed in 1991, with André Matos (vocals), Luís Mariutti (bass), Marco Antunes (drums), Kiko Loureiro (guitar) and Rafael Bittencourt (guitar), they underwent a big line-up change in 2000, when the vocalist Andre Matos, the bassist Luis Mariutti and the drummer Ricardo Confessori, that have entered after Marco Antunes, left the band and founded Shaman (later renamed to Shaaman) together with Luis' brother Hugo Mariutti.
They were then replaced by Eduardo Falaschi on vocals, Aquiles Priester on drums and Felipe Andreoli on bass.
Angra's new album "Aurora Consurgens" was released on October 2006.
