2010 studio album by Angra
Aqua progressive /power metal band Angra . It was released on August 11, 2010 and August 17, 2010 in Japan and Brazil, respectively. It is their last recording to feature Edu Falaschi on lead vocals, and their only studio album on which drummer Ricardo Confessori returns.
Overview
The album features returning drummer Ricardo Confessori , who had left the band with Andre Matos and Luís Mariutti in 2000 and had been since then replaced by Aquiles Priester .
According to guitarist Rafael Bittencourt , the album was based on William Shakespeare 's The Tempest
Besides all the qualities of the text, we found out that the element 'water' is one of the main characters of the history. It transforms itself during the cycles and changes the things around. It represents the rage of high tides and tempests, and then the forgiveness and wisdom in calm. Everything happens after a violent storm that occurs in the sea, in an island hill. While the wild waters come from up and down, a ship and the entire crew are fighting for surviving. As from this point, we developed one very interesting narrative that will get the attention of the listeners.
Aqua was released through major labels internationally, but in Brazil the band decided to self-release it, so that they can keep control of everything related to the album, says vocalist Edu Falaschi .
