Aurora Consurgens

Aurora Consurgens is a work on which ANGRA, using irregular rhythm, dense guitar and Edu Falaschi’s expressive singing, drew the tension and lyricism of progressive power metal. The songs move complexly, but South American rhythmic feel and large melody are always at the center. Themed on human psychology, it is an introspective record. On “The Course of Nature,” “Ego Painted Grey” and “Salvation: Suicide,” the introspective air continuing from the previous album is denser, and the gap between quiet scenes and fierce scenes leaves an impression. Songs like “The Voice Commanding You” and “Scream Your Heart Out” breathe the band’s full playing too. A dark, philosophical worldview inspired by Jungian psychology is also a feature. Treating technique and emotion with the same weight, it is a record of ANGRA’s mature period.
