Angra - New Album Will Be 'Much Heavier'
Angra - New Album Will Be 'Much Heavier'

Damnated September 01, 2006
The name of the record has been finally announced. It's called "Aurora Consurgens", which is also the title of an old book written by Saint Thomas of Aquin. Such book was used by Jung to establish relations between dreams and different mental conditions. Contrary to the band's latest album, "Temple Of Shadows", the forthcoming effort is not a concept album. However, all lyrics do have a common theme: the various mental issues, including suicidal tendencies, schizophrenia, manic depression, sociopathy, etc. The artwork was once again designed by Portuguese artist Isabel de Amorim.
Musically, the new album depicts a much heavier Angra. It doesn't mean the usual style of the band is lost, though. In fact, all tunes still rely on the influence of Brazilian music and there's a lot of percussion in the arrangements, several orchestral parts, etc. The songwriting process saw the participation of all members, so the album is quite diversified. At the same time, it maintains all the main characteristics of the band.
As an innovation, a "virtual single" will precede the release of the new album: fans will be able to download the song "The Course Of Nature" from the Internet. The artwork of the single will also be online, so it can be downloaded and printed as well. Such single must be available around September.
