23.DEZ.2013 – Christmas Message from Hangar!
This time of year, it seems that everything is more peaceful, everything we went through over a year, it is possible to remember and look back to analyze all our steps. Glad to be here again wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am very happy to know that everything I have done, you are always around to support me in more certain times. I wish you all play hard with their families and that small recess, let us ready for 2014 … As it comes with a great desire to change EVERYTHING!
– Aquiles Priester
A Merry Christmas and may 2014 be filled with joy for all of us. Thank you for the affection you have always had with us during all this time with the Hangar. Never left the band alone and always supported us. You are very special and I’m sure the least we can do to repay is to think of new songs, new shows and be on the road to show it. A big hug always remembering “Those who believe always achieve.”
– Nando Mello
Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. What does this mean? Messages, Coca Cola, miracles … Anyway, I can only do part of the message, be happy, do not eat fried food, read good books, do good with detachment. And ultimately, if all else fails, believe in God. If you prefer, start there, and the old lady blow your brother’s son, and we killed the resurrected. Magic? Fact? Lie? Legend? Reality? What matters? Life and the Universe are scientifically incomprehensible to everyone. Anyone who says he knows you’re lying. Unless you tell the meaning of life is love. There is no error. And the rest is party.
HAPPY 2014.
– Eduardo Martinez
Save God, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and all other entities profitably fantastic! That in 2014 they continue feeding more dreams and fewer pockets! See you in a year 😉
– Fábio Laguna
This year 2013 was simply magical. It was the year I returned to my band, which I helped to found there in 1997. It was the year I entered the studio to record with Hangar and could see how much I love what I do. It was the year that I could live, to laugh, solve problems and see that this family called Hangar, is coming back in full force. I wish a merry christmas and a great new year to all of you who are with us during these 16 years of band. Can expect that 2014 will be a very special year. Hugs.
– Cristiano Wortmann
Another year comes to an end, a year that was very special to me and dreamed, this year I could join the band in which I am a big fan and being with friends and great people, learn a lot, grow and evolve very much a year in which I had a growth that perhaps in my entire career and I’m not very grateful to that! I want to wish all friends of the band, all the fans who support us a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year and that 2014 is a great year for all of us, because for us the Hangar will be a very special year and it can wait! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU ALL! Hug and see you soon.

22.NOV.2013 – Pedro Campos is Hangar’s new singer.
We begin our process of choosing a new vocalist at exactly 12 months ago. More than 70 professionals of the highest levels participated by sending awesome quality material. Pedro participated by sending videos of four songs with excellent production and performance, fitting into the profile that we seek from the beginning. When we left in 2012 with a mini tour in celebration of 15 years of Hangar, we had no hesitation in inviting him to follow in interpreting the songs of the CD “The Reason of Your Conviction” and “Infallible”. It was a way to fit him in the context of the band, which was not scared. The sum of your starting material, the shows and especially his attitude helped in the final choice and showed that we were right.
Pedro Campos currently lives in Volta Redonda/RJ, 22 years old and he is singing and teaching as a professional for six years. He has worked with many artists in the area where he lives and has received several awards for his performances. Among the competitions which he participated, came to stay in first place in a national contest that brought Pedro to record a track with established names in the Metal world in 2012.
“Being the new lead singer of Hangar is a real dream come true for my life, I’m beaming with happiness and especially eager to give my best always! This new formation is awesome, we’ve been together late last year and we had unforgettable moments, and now we are going ahead with full force! I want to see all the fans and friends at the shows singing along with us and making part of our history as well!”, says Pedro Campos.
As the saying goes: “Always after the storm comes the calm.” Therefore, new winds and ways to go. We hope Pedro Campos may be received with open arms in this new stage. Very soon we will have our first taste of this new work.

17.FEV.2013 – HANGAR is confirmed in Chile’s first edition of the ProgPower festival in South America.
The name Progpower is at this point recognizable throughout the world by power and prog fans. Through the 14 years the festival has been alive there have been several versions of it, being 3 of them still out there: Progpower Europe -the original- Progpower Oslo and Progpower USA. A new member to this family arrives this year 2013: Progpower Southamerica.
The first southamerican edition will put together 16 bands spread among two days, having as a special feature artists from southamerica and Chile; this should set it apart from his brothers in the northern hemisphere and give it a personality of his own. Of course there will be bands from europe and USA as well.
The festival will take place in Caupolican Theatre in august 17 and 18.
It’s important however to make clear that the organzation, booking and overall logistics of Progpower Southamerica is independent from the other festivals. Both glenn Harveston (Progpower USA) and Rene Janssen (Progpower Europe) have given the green light to the event and the authorization to use the name, but are in no way directly involved in the southamerican edition of the festival.
As of today, the bands confirmed for the festival are the following:
Dragonland (Sweden)
Hibria (Brazil
Delta (Chile)
Hangar (Brazil
Husar (Chile)
SteelRage (Chile)
This is just beginning! Menay more names will join and there are a few surprises along the way. Stay tuned to new confirmations!
