Fireworks

Angra

A symphonic power metal landmark recorded at Abbey Road. Operatic vocals meet lush orchestral arrangements and a gritty, British-influenced hard rock edge.

February 9, 1998 · Victor

A grand, theatrical display of symphonic power tempered by a persistent, rain-slicked melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sweeping orchestral introduction of Lisbon that transitions into a driving, melancholic guitar riff.
Andre Matos reaching an impossibly high, sustained falsetto note during the climax of Wings of Reality.
The sudden shift from aggressive double-bass drumming to a delicate, piano-led bridge in Paradise.
