Angra and Top Link Music signed a new partnership marking the return of Paulo Baron to the management of Angra, with whom he had worked for seven years. About the return, the businessman says: “I am very happy to return to the Angra family. Honestly, I needed that hiatus with all the projects I was involved in, and actually I never left the band as I was always around them. What unites us is the great friendship and respect built during all these years when we created wonderful things together. I’m here to add to this great brand that is Angra and you’ll see great news soon!”.

Also regarding the resumption of the successful union, bassist Felipe Andreoli emphasizes: “Returning to work with Top Link is great because we already have a good rapport and we know each other well. Angra and Top Link have accomplished great things together and the continuation of this partnership will allow us to do much more. Plans are moving forward very quickly and we are all very excited about what lies ahead.”

Still about the moment, guitarist Rafael Bittencourt evaluates: “I am very happy to return to work with Paulo Baron and Top Link. In recent years, we have never stopped being friends and we have a lot of mutual respect and admiration. We have already shown the strength of our partnership in the past and I believe that we will show even greater strength in the coming future, more mature and experienced. Paulo knows the band in all its complexity, personal relationships between everyone, strategic needs and has a great passion for working with us, which is also very important. He has a super competitive spirit, a very positive spirit and manages to add and motivate everyone to always win. I believe that no one can hold us now!”.

In the period of previous joint efforts, Paulo and his company collaborated in several high-profile situations, including: Angra’s concert at Live N’ Louder in 2013; the Angel’s Cry 20th Anniversary Tour DVD; the Secret Garden albums, Ømni and the Ømni DVD; the group’s performance at Rock In Rio 2015 featuring guest appearances by Doro Pesch and Dee Snider; and the last show of Kiko Loureiro with the guys and the first of Marcelo Barbosa as official guitarist – in addition to several presentations of the quintet on national television in programs such as Encontro Com Fátima Bernardes.

Fabio Lione, Luca Turilli, Dominique Leurquin, Patrice Guers and Alex Holzwarth proudly announce the reunion of the original members of RHAPSODY, and the relevant farewell tour of the band.

The Italian band Rhapsody, one of the greatest icons of Symphonic Power Metal, will gather together to commemorate the 20th Anniversary from their first official release, playing their album “Symphony Of Enchanted Lands” in full, as well as other classics of the band. It will be an exciting and emotional event no one should ever miss, as this will be the only and last chance to see the band performing on stage together. The Rhapsody’s 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour will be hosted by Top Link Music.(www.toplinkmusic.com)

Since its consecration in 1997 with the album “Legendary Tales”, Rhapsody has become a worldwide awarded band thanks to its unique, epic and orchestral sound. Initially baptized in the “Hollywood Metal” style, because of its movies-related fascination and its characteristic epic soundtrack elements, the Italian band established itself as one of the biggest names in Symphonic Power Metal thanks to their second release “Symphony Of Enchanted Lands”, which soon became a classic of that music genre. Rhapsody’s main influences also include classical composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Paganini and many others (the song “The Wizard’s Last Rhymes” from Rain Of A Thousand Flames, for example, is based on Antonín Dvořák’s ‘New World Symphony’). These elements made the band clearly unique in the whole heavy metal scene and, thanks to its magic, gathered lots of fans all over the world and inspired many bands, giving birth to a brand new musical wave and genre, that established a real and effective Rhapsody imagery. The 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour will represent a last chance for everyone to feel part of that wonderful magic once again. Luca, Fabio, Patrice, Dominique and Alex will celebrate such important and historical event with and for their amazing fans!

Luca Turilli states: “I am really super excited to be part of this unique and special event together with Fabio and my other friends. The fact of playing legendary songs like ‘Wings Of Destiny’, ‘Beyond The Gates Of Infinity’ and ‘The Dark Tower Of Abyss’, never played on stage before, will be the best way to celebrate the 20th Anniversary and a great reason to meet together for a very last time. This farewell tour represents for me the closing of one important chapter of my music career, as in the future I will dedicate myself to the cinematic music style of my new ‘Luca Turilli’s RHAPSODY’ band and to other important projects exclusively. Don’t miss such amazing event. It will be the last time you will be able to see me, Fabio and Alex Holzwarth together on stage playing some Rhapsody songs. We wait for all of you to share some wonderful emotions and live together some memorable nights!”

Fabio Lione continues: “‘Magic’… this is what I always wanted to find in music… and when I think about this great and unique opportunity to be again on stage with Luca, Holzy, Dominique, Patrice and celebrate with them the 20th Anniversary of the band… well… I can say this is truly ‘magic’! What an emotional moment remembering our great friend Christopher Lee, our stories, our feelings. After many years and things happened, I feel the time is right now… the time to close this important chapter of my artistic life in the best way, with my old friends, and share such ‘magic’ once again. We will celebrate 20 years of band history with all of you, beloved fans, in an unforgettable and glorious ‘last time party’. Be part of it!”

The Rock n roll will never be the same!
Today we lost a legend, a true rock and metal icon.
Thank you Lemmy for so many good times lived together, for the opportunities I’ve had to work with you and Motorhead.
My thought goes out to his whole family as well as his band and our Brazilian brothers (Leo, Rogerinho and Eddie) who were part of Motorhead crew and worked hard to keep rock rolling alongside Lemmy in recent years.

RIP – Top Link Music and Angra

Thank you very much! ANGRA would like to thank you all that made possible our return to the biggest heavy metal festival in the world, the producers, the fans and for all that witnessed this amazing show.

Showing their new record “Secret Garden” this show at the festival Wacken Open Air now is part of the history of the band, being one of the most important on their career.

The tour of the band passed by Japan, Latin America and Europe, and the next stop will be in the United States: September 9^th in New York and September 12^th in Atlanta.

For the Brazilian fans, we wait for you on September 19^th at Rock in Rio, it will be a very special show with our friends Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and the queen of metal DORO, they will sing some songs with us.
