Now Angra are a power metal band with a difference, they really do mix up their sound with heavy neo-classical influences, touches of folk metal all combined in a really feel good factor vibe. Like Sepultura they have used traditional Brazilian music in their sound, but unlike the ferocious assault of Sepultura, they have used it in a far more upbeat and positive fashion A lot of people may be put off by some of Angra's work, because here is a band who on the face of it, sound like they were just influenced by the European power metal bands and are mirroring the sound, but in reality they have their own distinctive sound, which can take some getting used to, but when you do its very rewarding. Also I'm a big fan now of their original singer Andre Matos who sang on their early albums. Their debut album below is the band finding their feet, but still a good album and even has a surprising cover of "Wuthering Heights" The two best songs are the You-tube vids already posted above.
