ANGRA's Edu Falaschi and Felipe Andreoli's project band. Due to the positive feedback from the first release (2007) and to the fact that ANGRA are in a break, Edu decided to take ther project to the level of a full-fledged band, with a solid lineup. The sound does not try to deny their roots. But they managed to kept the feeling without excessive sophistication or fall from grace into the cheese of overheard power metal patterns. Or those damn empathic & cacophonic choruses. The guitars of Barbosa and Schrober feed you fast and frenzy riffs, flying above the carpet-bombing of Moreira's drum. But with power, here you rise your glass also to the glory: extremely clean sound & singing, and a very professional and attractive feeling. Upper lever tunes. Very nice.
WARREN ROBERT-Music from the void (2009) [Instrumental shred/symphonic, Canada]
Not quite known into metal, Canadian guitarist Warren Robert recorded and released an album of orchestral shred & guitar instrumentals entitled "Thoughts And Realities" already in 2005 , featuring melodic tunes, complex textures and orchestral inserts, enriched with fast shred guitar playing, which earned him a reputation as a both melodic shred guitarist and modern composer. This new concept album, inspired - as he said - by the writings of the great Samauri Miyamoto Musashi delivers you an up-dated version of his astonishing polyedric skills. Check the net for all his accolades... A wonderful piece of music, with great production, great guitar work and virtually no crappy flaw whatsoever. No banging guaranteed, but a great musical experience.
