Angra/Osaka,Japan 2018

ANGRA’s new work “OMNI” is also a great success after a long time and is very popular. The latest and best live in Japan is now available. The main family came to Japan shortly after REBIRTH OF SHADOWS led by Edu Falaschi, but what is recorded in this work is “November 6, 2018: Osaka BIGCAT performance”. It is the super best audience recording. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from the schedule of visiting Japan, which is the third time since Fabio Leone joined and the 10th time in total. ・November 5th: Nagoya DIAMOND HALL ・November 6th: Osaka BIGCAT [This work] ・November 7th: TSUTAYA O-EAST ・November 8th: TSUTAYA O-EAST A total of 4 performances. The Osaka performance was the same “BIGCAT” show as the last time three years ago. This work, which records such a scene, is truly a superb product. The person who recorded it was Mr. “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, who is well known at our store. As the name suggests, he is a modern master who knows everything about live venues in western Japan, but “BIGCAT” in particular is a garden that has produced many masterpieces. Moreover, this work is also a masterpiece that the “strongest” man is proud of as “the best recorded at this venue.” Its quality can only be called “just like a sound board”. There is no sense of distance, and each note of each instrument is super clear in detail. In fact, some people who experienced it at the scene said that the bass was too strong and it was bouncy, but you don’t get that feeling from this work at all. The bass and bass drum have sharp outlines and are neatly separated. It depicts a vivid three-dimensional effect that allows you to feel the positions between the members. I think you can feel it if you actually listen to it, but this level of vividness cannot be created through mastering. It is said that Mr. “Strongest”’s recordings have “better sound than the on-site sound”, but even if the sound output from the on-site scene is not good enough, he can still make it super-excellent…This is a great recording among great recordings that shows you the great skill of a master. The show is overwhelming with such a sound, and it’s a great performance that seems to loudly proclaim the “Fabio era.” Anyway, the new “OMNI” is on sale! The last time three years ago was still a work in progress, but overall the set was evenly assembled from a long history. However, this time the proportion of new songs is completely different. Approximately half of the show was occupied by the new “OMNI” number, and 8 of the album’s 11 songs were rush songs. In addition, “Newborn Me” and “Upper Levels” from the previous album “SECRET GARDEN” were added, and there were only 4 songs in the Fabio era and 3 songs in the Andre era (even if you count the Carry On / Nova Era medley as 2 songs). The new ANGRA color is rich. What’s more, his performance overflows with tremendous confidence in “OMNI.” Although Kiko Loureiro, who is busy with MEGADETH, will not be participating, new member Marcelo Barboza will be skilled again. In the classics, he plays Kiko’s phrases with ease, and even in the new songs, he shows off the musical sense backed by his career as a Berklee graduate. Brazil has one of the biggest rock scenes in South America, but they are showing off their stupid skills that clearly show the depth of their depth. And Bruno Valverde on drums is also amazing. With a regular grip, which is rare in the metal world, he can hit a variety of wankers at breakneck speed. Is it difficult to cope with the power and speed of metal if it is regular? However, the intricate phrases and virtuoso techniques are mixed together and overwhelm you. This work is a sound that allows you to clearly feel every single hitting sound, from its rise to silence. Of course, Raphael Bittencourt, who became the only original member, is also in great condition. It is a wonderful performance full of confidence that has accepted the current situation without Kiko and created a masterpiece that can even be called the best masterpiece of recent years. She also performed vocals on “Black Widow’s Web” and “The Bottom of My Soul,” and during her MC, she expressed her determination to carry the new ANGRA. Despite all these people, the star of the show is still Fabio. The operatic vocalization of our time is overwhelming. In “Carry On”, she used ultrasonic tones, and in her new song “Black Widow’s Web”, she even showed off her new death voice. What’s more, she has an impregnable singing style that doesn’t get disturbed in any style. Not only is he physically superior, but he also has a great sense of exaggeration. There are many high-tone singers in the power metal world, but Fabio is on a different level. ANGRA has returned to Japan with their masterpiece after a long time. The scene where the audience was so excited despite the abundance of new songs clearly conveyed how wonderful “OMNI” was and how overwhelming the show was. This is a famous album that captures such Live in Japan with an official-level transcendent sound. A live album where you can experience the new ANGRA, which is now in its prime once again.
