[edit] Genre
This Genre not exist; Progressive Power Metal, they are just Power Metal, some symphonic (ex: the power Band "Nightwish", but not "progressive". There isn´t elements of Progressive Rock/Metal in their Musics.User:josboroliv 02:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Its not a stand-alone genre my friend. It's Power Metal + Progressive. Angra is listed in a lot of prog metal sites as a prog metal band. Its consensus Angra is a POWER METAL + PROGRESSIVE METAL band, if you see the wiki for this you will see that if you click in progressive you'll be directed to progressive metal, if you click in power you'll be direct to power metal. We should strive to be as accurate as possible. Stating Angra is a Power Metal band is a great inaccuracy. Worse yet, you did remove progressive metal from the genres section in the info box.

[edit] Major Rewrite
I did a major rewrite on this article (took me a few hours to finish) bringing together information from many different sources and biographies about Angra. Please, the article now is in need of a revision for grammatical erros and other aberrations :-). Any help will be welcome. Loudenvier 02:25, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Angra goddess nonsense
I have removed the bit about Angra being named after some "goddess of fire". There is a male deity called Angra Mainyu in Zoroastrianism, but it is not related to the band; André Matos said that it was named after the city of Angra dos Reis (in Portuguese, "Kings' Creek").

- It was not said that Angra was named after the goddess. It only told that Angra, in Brazillian mythology meant Goddess of Fire. I´ve seen a tv interview in which the band members acknowledge that Angra also means a goddess of some sort! They also stated what you told: Angra was named after Angra dos Reis. I think the intro could be extended to expose both meanings and link Angra dos Reis with the naming of the band. Loudenvier 01:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New influence
Addition of the term progressive, because the new melodic and rhythmic outlines progressive that your neo-classic music won, mainly in the last two albums. Check the review of the band in Prog Archives.com
- There is an ongoing debate on Prog Archives if Angra is a progressive band. Despite the site's staff regarding it as prog, most prog fans will not agree with that. I myself think Angra has always been a prog influenced band, just listen to Angels Cry, or Holy Land for that matter. I agree with the Progressive influence, but I also think if is somewhate debatable and if someone contests it we will have to dig for a reliable source claiming Angra to be prog influenced. Regards Loudenvier 15:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think the progressive emphasis was too much as you edited it. I will change if a litle to make if less controversial, or, in other words, more precise. Regards. Loudenvier 15:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
