For fans of all things melodic heavy/power metal, four years is too long too wait for an new album from Brazilian greats Angra. Easily spoken in the same breath as Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarious, (early) Edguy and many others, Angra retains their strength and carries the flag of this oft chastised and too often (poorly) mimicked genre. Their seventh album, Aqua is pure Angra and pure melodic power metal, with some stylish prog nuances. Inspired from Shakespeare's The Tempest, Aqua reflects the sea tale.
