Angra is back and better than ever, and like it´s title they had a musical rebirth, this is a new Angra, stronger and energetic, and they it show with those marvelous songs, wich in my opinion make this the best Angra album ever. The Angra guys have remembered their musical roots, the speed, the potencie, the tecnique, and all those characteristic musical elements of the brazilian folklore, wich made them something special and particulary different from the usual metal scene.And it´s this quality what made their previous albums, so special before the arrival of this "Rebirtrh"; using this fantastic language that is music, to  comunicate their fans all over the world about the band´s rebirth. the album begins like in "Angels cry" with “In Excelsis” wich prepares the ground for the accelerated “Nova Era” , where we can already recognize the great skills of the new singer Edu Falasci, who for me is a better singer than Andre Matos and sincerely this album wouldn´t be the same with Matos on vocals. Inmediatly after and like to calm down a little bit, comes “Millenium Sun” where the band shows as well as in “Heroes of Sand” y “Rebirth”, how should slow and fast songs combined one with the other. Loureiro & Bittencourt manifest their brilliant guitar skills in such songs as “Acid rain” and  “Unholly wars”, (this last one would cheer up even a dead one!), as much as their composing talent, combining fast, strong yet technical characteristic metal sounds with catchy tunes and folklore what give the band that unique sound we could also feel in their previous releases; but I can´t forget the beatiful “Running alone” wich makes you want to make of this world a better place to life after listening to it. Angra has now a new singer but also a new bassist, Felipe Andreoli, and a new drummer, Aquiles Priester who makes a terrific job all along the album, with a great doble bass drum tecnique, strong and fast as a lightning combining different rhytms not to fall in monotony. Finally, the japanese version of the album includes a bonus track: “Bleeding Heart”, a ballad in the line of “Heroes of Sand” but this is a bit more romantic, but even we metalheads have our soft side, Don´t we? What?? You´re still there?, go inmediatly to buy this album!.

Score:10/10
