 Angra : Holy Land - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
While Holy Land may not be metal from start to finish, it is a album with an unusual combination of power, intensity and beauty.
The rest of Holy Land features the slower songs "Make Believe," "Deep Blue" and "Lullaby for Lucifer," plus songs influenced by Brazilian rhythms, including "Silence and Distance," "Holy Land," and "The Shaman." This mixing of styles works beautifully.

The Debut album from Angra was something that changed the heavy Metal forever inspiring such bands as Rhapsody,Secret Sphere,Edguy etc. The music is progresive melodic metal played with power and ounstanding guitar works, along with an awesome singer that you cant get higher than him.
A little bit of "Stand Away"- Angra: ------------------------------------------------------ Stand away the dreaded burning fire Will leave its mark for those with no desire Stand in front of the whole creation Face the people starved like worms Still I'm begging for comprehension From the ones who rule us all.

 ANGRA Holy Live reviews
The first four numbers (including the playback of the track "Crossing") are from the great Holy Land album, while the last two tracks are from the Angel's Cry album.
In conclusion, despite the facts this is a nice live EP and a couple of tracks are the only live versions available of them so far, so this record has its value.
Also, although the overall performance is quite good (specially the vocal work by Andre Matos is outstanding), there are some dodgy moments in the rendition of Carolina IV and this is such a pity, they should have put a tighter version of that song from other show.

 Surprise Of June 2002
To be honest when angra released the album "Holy Land" in 1996 I received a strong cultural shock by their magnificent music, which took quite a long time to overcome.
I still remember the webmaster (then he just a master) telling me that I should form a band with the name M-Angra and release an CD called "Holy Band"!!!!!
For those who are not aware of that, Shaman is the new band of the x-Angra members who left the band a few years ago.

The theme of Holy Land is Brazil, and the album flows like a collection of stories from 1499 to the modern day.
The first song, "Freedom Call", should've been on Holy Land, because it talks about slavery and thus is part of the history of Brazil.
Angra has four major releases under their name (with a few other EP's and demo's flowing around).

The frontman Andre Matos, bassist Luis Mariutti, drummer Ricardo Confessori, as well as touring keyboardist Fabio Ribeiro, formed a new band, called Shaman (name of a song from the Holy Land album), and they are on a short tour to promote the new band.

The album kicks off with "Live and Learn", composed on the HOLY LAND sessions back in 1995.
Less than one year after the release of the winner REBIRTH album, Angra is already back with this new EP.
The edit and acoustic versions for "Rebirth" and "Heroes of Sand", respectively, lack the power that the original ones had and they become the worst part of the CD.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
Here was a premier progressive metal band, from a country outside of Europe -- namely Brazil -- with their star on an steep upward arc, even if the reaction to Fireworks wasn't with the same furvor that people were reacting to, say, Holy Land.
When the news came that Angra hadn't totally gone the way of the dodo, but that a two-fifths of the band had survived - guitarists Kiko Loureiro and Rafeal Bittencourt -- things shot off into the direction of great speculation.
Who would replace the angelic voiced frontman André Matos, bassist Luis Mariutti, and drummer Ricardo Confessori?

 Metal Rules!!:  Interview with Angra
Kiko Loureiro : “WeÂ’re gonna use the elements that Angra has built in our three recordings… well, mainly we would be bringing back the elements in the first two ones [Note: Angels Cry and Holy Land], the things that we passed through, we know how to play, we actually like more.
Kiko Loureiro : “We’ll start recording the album in Germany, at Dennis Ward head quarter, the studio he is used to work, so we won’t have trouble with the most difficult sounds, like the drums.
Kiko Loureiro: “ Imagine now that we are narrow-minded, so Shaman is our enemy, so everyone is our concurrent, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Delpht[brazilian band].

 Chapter 11, The Origins of Christianity by Professor Revilo P. Oliver
The crisis did not come, however, until 334-330, when Alexander the Great, who worshipped the foul fiends, overran the whole Persian Empire, the Holy Land that was dedicated to the service of Ahura Mazda, who had been either unwilling or unable to defend his own righteous nation.
As the antithesis of his good god, Zoroaster invented a god of pure evil, Angra Mainyu, the unique author of all sin and wickedness and of all the suffering of all human beings.
But I doubt it: gods, like men, become senescent, and even if they are immortal, if they are too busy or slothful to answer their votaries’ prayers and supplications for a few centuries, they have only themselves to blame when they are supplanted by younger and yet untried immortals.
