Angra – Cycles of Pain Review
Angra will just never cease to be a special band While Falaschi opts for what made him known and took his former band to new levels, Angra takes a more proggy approach, with slower songs and more lullaby oriented direction fitting better Fabio Lione‘s vocals.

Add virtuosos playing each instrument, specially axeman and founder Syu, and top with Japanesse vocals that of course will sound like they are straight outta your favourite anime…
