Angra - Make Believe (Official)

Angra est un groupe de power metal progressif mélodique et symphonique brésilien créé en 1992.
Holy Land est un album-concept de metal progressif du groupe brésilien Angra. Son thème principal est le Brésil au xvie siècle, illustré par la vieille carte sur la pochette. Ses textes parlent de l'espoir, de la peur de l'inconnu, de la soif d'aventure, des désillusions des colons, et de la mer. Cet album contient des influences brésiliennes, indigènes et folkloriques, ainsi que des influences classiques pour symboliser les colons européens.

The opening track "Crossing" features a rendition of O Crux Ave by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The following songs deal with life in the "holy land" prior to its colonization by the Portuguese and subsequent changes Brazil underwent upon their arrival.
According to drummer Ricardo Confessori, the track "Nothing to Say" was developed around a drum riff he created around 1994 at a small rural property owned by guitarist Rafael Bittencourt.[His band mates heard it and soon joined in to create the rest of the song, including the single-note opening riff.
