Angra

Progressive Metal

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Angra has gone through a lot of turnover throughout the years, with guitarist Rafael Bittencourt the only remaining original member. They continue to play a mix of power metal and prog metal, although unfortunately their sound has become less unique and more generic than their early albums.

Despite that, Omni is still good. It's more cohesive and consistent than Secret Garden, and maybe just a touch better. Angra does play around just a little bit with different vocal styles--a little bit of growling, a small section with a guest vocalist.

The best track here is "The Bottom of My Soul," which has some of the intensity of old Angra. My version also includes a bonus track, a 2018 version of Z.I.T.O., originally from their Holy Land album. It's a testament to the quality of their current vocalist--but also a reminder that the quality of their music has fallen. Still, though, this is a solid album, and fans of both prog metal and power metal will find a lot to enjoy. 3.5 stars.
