Angra have shared an official video for parts one and two of “Tide Of Changes.” Those tracks are from the band’s new album “Cycles Of Pain,” which will be released on November 3.
Felipe Andreoli commented:
“This song came to life very quickly. After I played around with the initial riff, all subsequent parts kind of naturally fell into place. It’s a song full of dynamics and different textures, with a look to the future while we also nod to the past, especially in the middle section. Fabio [Lione] did a brilliant job with the vocal lines and delivered a very inspired performance. The intro came about while I was working on some harmonies, then Fabio joined in and the magic happened.”
Rafael Bittencourt added:
“The ‘Tide Of Changes’ lyrics were the first I wrote for the ‘Cycles Of Pain’ album and portray exactly what the title denounces. We live in a moment of great instability and, while our ego seeks the comfort zone and control, it is fundamental to adapt to this impermanence, to surf the waves of destiny and not on our expectations. It’s the pains and frustrations that shape and strengthen us, to the point where we can beat our chest and say: ‘Let the next wave of difficulties come. Want to take another piece of me? Come on, I’ve waited for this moment!’”
