March 12, 2009

According to a posting on ANGRA guitarist Kiko Loureiro's blog, ANGRA will end its two-year hiatus by teaming up with fellow Brazilian metallers SEPULTURA for a massive tour of Brazil and the rest of Latin America. The trek, which will consist of more than 20 dates, will include stops in such major Brazilian venues as Via Funchal in São Paulo and Canecão Canecão in Rio de Janeiro Canecão, and will take place during the months of May, August and September.

ANGRA's touring lineup will feature returning drummer Ricardo Confessori, who will step in for the departed Aquiles Priester.

So far the following dates have been confirmed:

May 06 - Porto Alegre, BRA - Teatro do Bourbon Country
May 09 - São Paulo, BRA - Via Funchal
May 29 - Rio de Janeiro, BRA - Canecão
May 30 - Vitória, BRA - Ginásio Dom Bosco
May 31 - Belo Horizonte, BRA - Chevrolet Hall

ANGRA's video for the song "The Course of Nature" can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in early September 2006 in São Paulo under the guidance of director Carina Zaratin.

The recordings of ANGRA's most recent CD, "Aurora Consurgens", began in July 2006 at the House Of Audio studios in Germany under the guidance of longtime producer Dennis Ward. All the tracking took place at the Via Musique Estúdios, in São Paulo with Thiago Bianchi as the assistant producer. Dennis then flew back to Germany and mixed the material, which was mastered by the renowned Finnish producer Mika Jussila.
