SEP.17.2010 – Release of Aquiles Priester’s Biography “From Fan to Idol” book in Expomusic 2010. [only portuguese]

During the fair Expomusic 2010 the official biography of Aquiles Priester “From fan to idol” can be found at promotional price of R$ 30.00 only on the store shelves Snake Lady and the magazine Modern Drummer.

The book telling the story of drummer Aquiles Priester has just been released. “From Fan to Idol” narrates the musician’s whole story, from his birth in South Africa to his move to Brazil when he was 6 years old and showing his personal and artistic development which made him one of the main rock drummers of the planet, respected by important musicians such as Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden) and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater).

The book was written based on over 20 hours of interviews conceded by the musician to journalist Antonio Carlos Monteiro. With this material in hands, author Circe Brasil undertook the task of giving the book its final form. The book also includes hundreds of photos of different phases of Aquiles’ life and career.

“When the crowd applauds a gig frenetically, they have no idea what each member of the band went through to get where they did”, states author and consultant Roberto Shinyashiki in the introduction. Aquiles’ story wasn’t any different. The focus of the book is exactly the determination that transformed the boy who went through huge difficulties into the acclaimed musician he is today. So more than a simple narrative that recounts moments of happiness, sadness, doubt and fun lived by the musician. “From Fan To Idol” can be read as a self-help book not because it overflows with theory, but because it shows, as a matter of fact, that incessant determination and work are the secrets of success.

“From Fan to Idol” will be released by publishing house Anadarco, also responsible for the graphic project and layout.

INFALLIBLE REVIEW

05.JAN.2010 – News: The band Hangar inaugurates own tour bus

The band Hangar closed a deal with Selenium, the largest Latin American loud speaker manufacturer. They also manufacture Maverick amplifiers. The result of this partnership is unique in the national heavy metal market. For the first time in the history of the style in Brazil, the band will travel in their own personalized tour bus, carrying all stage and PA equipment necessary for the gigs. Therefore, all “The Infallible Tour 2010/2011” gigs will have the same stage and sound, no matter where the band will be playing. “This is the main reason why we still didn’t officially begin the promotional shows of “Infallible”. We were waiting for the bus to be completed,” says drummer Aquiles Priester. “We want to promote the album in an innovative manner in the national market because we’re sure that every heavy metal fan deserves to see and hear a quality gig,” concludes the drummer.

With this initiative, gigs are more viable than before since the transportation costs of the band, crew and equipment are usually very steep. With their own tour bus, the cost-benefit relation will be more interesting thus facilitating gigs all over the country.

The band is already scheduling gigs in Brazil for March 2010 and contacts should be made by email: contact@hangar.mus.br

The Infallible Tour 2010/2011 is endorsed by: Selenium, Maverick Amplifiers, Mapex Drums, Paiste Cymbals, Evans Drum Heads, Pro-Mark Sticks, Staff Drum, Audio-Technica Microphones, DW Pedals, Gibraltar Hardware, Urban Boards PsychoShoes, Aeroric Customs Drums, Ciclotron, Zoom Effects, Power Click, Warm Music Amplifiers, Loud Vox, D’Addario Strings, Planet Waves Cables, Takamine Guitars, Ledur Guitars and Basses, Tokai Electronic Organs, Shred Cases, Strazza Cases, EM&T, Playtech, Consulado do Rock, Lady Snake Rock Wear, Batera Store, Joker Tattoo, Jander Tattoo and Stay Heavy TV Program.

Release Hangar – Infallible

“Infallible”. This is the name of Hangar’s new album. And, besides the evident meaning it has in the album’s context, few words could fit the band as well as it. The perfectionism and hard-work demonstrated by the band for over 12 years is palpable in each and every album, always commanded by world wide known drummer Aquiles Priester.

For the production process of the fourth album, Hangar secluded themselves in a farm near Tatuí (located in the countryside of São Paulo, home to one of the best music schools in the country, and for that reason known as the “Music Capital” of Brazil), where Aquiles, Eduardo, Fábio, Mello and the new lead singer, Humberto Sobrinho, dedicated themselves to composing the ten songs of the album. After that, they recorded guitar, bass, keyboard and vocal lines in the same place, using the mobile unit of Daufembach’s Studio, under the command of sound engineer Adair Daufembach. The drums were recorded at The Magic Place Studio (Florianópolis), in a room specially projected to provide the perfect ambience for the instrument. Subsequently, Aquiles traveled with Adair to Celle (Germany) to mix and master the CD with Tommy Newton (Area 51 Studio), thus finalizing an album of exceptional sound quality, clear and bright when necessary, without losing the characteristic dirty sound a good Heavy Metal album.

Infallible, according to the band, represents the very feeling they want to transmit to their public with the new album. “It’s our most extreme album, whether concerning technique, virtue and speed or the more melodic, accessible side”, says Aquiles. As to the lyrics, even though this is not a conceptual album, they have a theme in common: “They talk about the forces that move human beings while pursuing their aims, without leaving the path of honesty. It’s an optimistic album on the subject of fighting and accomplishing goals”, guarantees the drummer.

“The Infallible Emperor – 1956” is the first track of the album, presenting a beautiful vocal melody interpreted at high speed commanded by Aquiles’ double bass drumming and by Martinez’s guitar riffs. “Colorblind” is more intricate theme, with several rhythm shifts and striking backing vocals. Humberto has the opportunity to show all of his ability in “Solitary Mind”, which is an inspired mid-tempo composition. Drama plays its part in “Time to Forget”, a ballad with Theo Vieira as guest musician, and which opens the way to the power thrash metal “A Miracle in my Life”, where Humberto uses some precise drives and the band presents the most speedy and brutal work of their entire career. More direct in its harmony, “The Garden” presents us with an elaborate composition and an inspired, though short, keyboard solo by Fabio Laguna, not to mention a very different structure when compared to the other songs.

It was no accident that the next track, “Dreaming of Black Waves”, was chosen to be the album’s first video clip. Its catchy melody contrasts with an amazingly beautiful musical arrangement, especially in the leading and backing vocals of guest singer Stefanie Schirmbeck, from the band Holiness. Another modern ballad, “Based on a True Story”, shows an extremely up-to-date band, while “Handwritten” is a very competent power metal, again bringing a different interpretation by Humberto. “Some Light to Find My Way”, has a hard rock influence in its first chords, shifting like magic to an efficient power metal with unforgettable choruses.

To close the album, Hangar recorded two cover songs. The first is “39”, a classic by Queen classic that the band managed to recreate with tremendous competence – especially Humberto, who was approved with honors in the difficult task of singing a song from such band. This song was chosen, says Aquiles, because of the following reasons: “Firstly, we didn’t want a number-one hit. Apart from that, our intention was also to show a little of our acoustic background and to prove that we can know how to be simple when necessary”.

The following may be the song the fans find most peculiar. “Mais uma Vez”, released only in Brazil, was written in 1987 by Flávio Venturini and Renato Russo and is part of the album Sete of the group 14 Bis. Besides, the song counts with special guest stars Roupa Nova on vocals. According to Aquiles, “the first time I heard this song in the 80´s, I felt inspired by the lyrics. During all these years the song had a very strong meaning in our work and we had already played it acoustically during the tour of our last album”. According to the band, Roupa Nova has a tradition in what refers to participations in albums of other artists: the band only accepts an invitiation of this type if all six members agree, since they don´t do individual participations. In short, the musicians of Roupa Nova not only approved of the version of “Mais uma Vez”, but also created a very unique interpretation for the song without abandoning the characteristics of the sextet. In the long run, the contrast between an insinuating song, Hangar´s heavy instrumentals and the soft voices of Roupa Nova created something totally new and captivating. Aquiles states that this version of “Mais uma Vez” is a turning point for the band: “We were always great admirers of Roupa Nova´s work and having these guys on our album is one of the most important moments in our history. Furthermore, we can show our fans and music lovers in general that we are exactly like everyone else and also need an extra dose of daily motivation.”

The last track is a remake of “Like a Wind in the Sky” of the album Last Time (1999), and will be released only in Japan. It has a great melody, amazing backing vocals and a perfect instrumental performance.

Direct, varied, competent… Certainly the soon to come reviews of this new album will contain these and many other adjectives. If anyone prefers to use the word “infallible”, they will be right too.

16.JAN.2009 – NANDO FERNANDES LEAVES HANGAR

According to an official note written by Nando Fernandes, he is not a member of Hangar since January 11th.

Below is the official note from the band:

“Dear Friends

The last two years were a period of intense activity for Hangar. Even in a stagnated market, we released a record that was highly praised by public opinion, we did dozens of shows all over Brazil, we recorded a DVD, we got lots of good reviews from the specialized media, we got great confidence by many companies and, more important, we received respect and unmeasurable support from our fans. Because of all that, we believe that our role as musicians, artists and public people have been very well done. Everything we conquered required a lot of effort, perseverence and sacrifice. Therefore, any one of us has the right to ask: where do we want to get with that?

Diversity is a great alliance to the evolution of ideas, since we are not made in series. And democracy always bumps on the limitations of the environment or in the life experience of everyone of us, what makes incompatibility something natural inside a group. For questions of this nature, there are only two options: either the more antagonic side/person adapts to the group and agrees with the dominant opinion or the group has to let this person leave, in a spontaneous way or not.

We have never asked to anyone to leave Hangar. The departure of a member is always a very turbulent moment for a band, but, luckily, our former members have always known the moment to ask us to leave the band, because somehow, they were sensible enough to realize they weren’t coherent with the objectives and expectations of the band. The same happened with Nando Fernandes. We have been trying for two years to bring him inside the work politics of the group, that exists for 11 years. The rest four members are the biggest witnesses of all that Hangar has been through along this long journey to receive some dignifying recognition, even far from satisfactory, specially on a financial point of view.

We know that for many people, we are much more than a mere heavy metal band and that’s why we are sure that we will keep pursuing our dreams.

So it’s with sadness that we inform officially that vocalist Nando Fernandes is no longer a member of Hangar since January 11th 2009, according to an e-mail sent to the remaining members of the band and to a note published on his blog, both on the same day (see below).

We sincerely apologize for the band not having sent an statement right after that note was published. The reason is, that even being aware that nothing lasts forever and no one is unreplaceable, we were also caught by surprise with that news, as well as all others that follow our work.

Above all, we would like to thank all our fans and friends for respecting us in this difficult but passing moment. We will follow with our plans and activities for 2009. The release of our first DVD and the recording and release of our new album will happen in May, according to the request made by our record company in Europe, Wacken Records. This new work will finally result in our first european tour, as an opening act for another artist from our booking agency, ICS.

Therefore, to continue our work, we are urgently selecting candidates to be the new vocalist of our band, and all those interested can send us some material to contact@hangar.mus.br.

We would like take this opportunity to thank Nando, who greatly contributed to Hangar’s success in the last two years. Under our perspective, we are sure that his decision to leave the band will not affect all the things we have built together. May God keeps lightning all Nando’s ways and we wish that he continues to pursue his dreams, either on stage, in the theater or in the classrooms.

Fábio Laguna, Aquiles Priester, Eduardo Martinez e Nando Mello
BANDA HANGAR”

————————

The note below was published on Nando Fernandes’ blog on January 11th, 2009:

“Official anouncement for friends and fans of the band Hangar…

I would like to personally communicate to friends and fans that, starting today, I’m not a part of the band Hangar anymore. There is a big relationship incompatibility between me and some other members of the band, making my permanence impossible. I would like to deeply and truely thank all the people who have been suporting the band and me during the years I was the vocalist of Hangar. I’m sure we will follow different ways from now on, but I wish good luck to the remaining members and I want to say that I’m very thankful for everything and I’m very proud for everything we have accomplished together.”

I HAVE THE CONVICTION THAT I WAS THE BEGGINNING TOO

31.JAN.2008 – Hangar and Dream Theater in Brazil

Progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER have issued the following update regarding their recent announcement that they were looking for an opening act for their shows in South America:

“Well, the response was simply overwhelming…within the first few days, we had over 500 entries! Although the initial rule was that only the first 20 bands from each country was eligible, in some cases up to 50 bands from each country were considered before making a decision.

“There were many factors involved in choosing the bands: First and foremost was the music (in itself having many variables), but other deciding factors included having previous live experience, professionalism and presentation based on their website or myspace page, and even their taste in music represented by their list of influences or top friends (which helped indicate the type of audience they were trying to reach with their music)…

“We wish the best of luck to all the bands that submitted entries and just because you weren’t picked doesn’t mean you weren’t the best or most qualified…(perhaps your entry simply arrived 1 hour later than the last cutoff band)….so keep at it so we can open for you in 20 years!”

Here are the lucky winners that will be sharing the stage with DREAM THEATER throughout South America:

Mar 01 – Santiago, Chile – Pista Atletica: DELTA
Mar 03 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – Luna Park Stadium: SACRUM
Mar 04 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – Luna Park Stadium: FUGHU
Mar 07 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Citibank Hall: KHALLICE

NEW SITE ONLINE!!!

Hi everyone! Welcome to our new website! It´s the new Hangar, 2007. For the last two years we have been working on our new songs, doing pre-productions and completely recycling the musical direction of the band. Today, besides introducing our new site, we are also releasing our new album – The Reason Of Your Conviction – in Japan as well as in other Asian countries.

We are really looking forward to this as the album was recorded with great passion. The end result can be seen in the clip of the track Call Me in the Name of Death, already available here on the site. Now we have to prepare ourselves for the release of the album in Brazil and we hope that you´ll always be tuned in to news on the band here on the site!

We hope to see you shortly at our gigs in Brazil and throughout the world. We will always be here to hear your opinion about Hangar.

Take care!!! It´s just the beginning.
Nando, Martinez, Fábio, Mello e Aquiles
