Angra is a power/progressive metal band from Brazil, formed in 1991 by vocalist/keyboardist André Matos, guitarists Rafael Bittencourt and André Linhares, bassist Luís Mariutti and drummer Marco Antunes. The band changed a few members before recording its demo album, Reaching Horizons, in 1992, followed by its first full-length album, Angels Cry, in 1993, with Linhares being replaced by André Hernandes, who was replaced by Kiko Loureiro shortly after. Antunes left the band prior to the recording of the debut album; future Rhapsody of Fire drummer Alex Holzwarth recorded the drum parts. Following the completion of the album, Ricardo Confessori replaced Antunes as the band's long-term drummer.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })After a successful tour through Brazil and Europe, Angra returned to the studio in 1996 to record its sophomore album, Holy Land, a concept album about the European settling of Brazil. Later that year, the band toured Japan and released the EP Freedom Call, which provided the name of a certain German power metal band.1998 saw the release of both the EP Lisbon and the full-length album Fireworks. This would be the last album featuring the band's lineup at the time. One year later, Matos met Edguy vocalist Tobias Sammet on tour; Sammet later chose Matos to sing as "Elderane the elf" on ''The Metal Opera'' albums by Avantasia.Angra lost over half its members in 2000; Matos, Mariutti and Confessori all left. These three formed power metal band Shaaman along with guitarist Hugo Mariutti, brother of Luís Mariutti. Bittencourt and Loureiro searched for replacements, and in 2001 vocalist Edu Falaschi, bassist Felipe Andreoli and drummer Aquiles Priester joined the band. The comeback album Rebirth was released that same year.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Temple of Shadows, the band's second album with its new lineup, was released in 2004. This album tells the story, written by Bittencourt, of a crusader known as "The Shadow Hunter" and his quest to break free of the Catholic church and start his own religion. This album was followed in 2006 by Aurora Consurgens, in which the lyrics are written about various mental disorders.Angra went on hiatus from 2007 to 2009 due to management issues. During this period Priester left the band and former drummer Confessori returned to the fold. By this time Shaaman was defunct; Matos and the Mariutti brothers had left to form their own band, which performs under the name André Matos. Matos has stated that this band is not his "solo project" but that the band members all decided to use Matos' name as it is well-known. Former Angra guitarist André Hernandes joined this band as well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

The Power of Love

comment
The Power of Love: Averted in "Waiting Silence" as the Shadow Hunter could not escape his fate by falling in love. Fate is waiting for your soul! Played straight in "Late Redemption" from the same album, where love is the one universal truth that finally redeems our protagonist.
