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!

This time we see the love and respect of people who want to build something real and have the courage to move forward in its mission, in his grace, which was given by our Creator. Special thanks to all who believe that anything in this life is worth. It is for you that our flame remains lit. There was nothing that we use a candle in our latest release … That flame never goes out! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We are full of plans to share with all of you, our faithful squires! ”
Aquiles Priester
“Another year has passed. Filled with changes and news. Filled with hopes and motivations extras. Bliss could find people who support us and never leave us. True friends return to take their places, and plant the seed for the future together with us. May Christmas and 2013 come with the hope of renewal and realization of dreams and achievements that always divide with those who make up our family in our sites, social networking, workshops and concerts. Dream and share what’s better: Life. Merry Christmas and a great 2013. ”
Nando Mello
“I remembered a great story, of which there is no confirmation as well as a story in second person. And one day, in one way or another, for some reason, all human ball blue celebrate 2012 years ago. Celebrate this date, whether Jewish, Atheist, Muslim, Zen or even Christian! Celebrate with gifts, coca cola, mineral water, sushi, natural food or even turkey! Celebrate with a real family, the one, the forgotten or that you forgot. Well that is all true vai, vai who really minds evolve to the level of Santo and return to tell the Father and the Son. Vai that of animals eating each other can and should progress to the level of that man who said that we are beings of light, and meat only transitory and sacred abode of evolution. John Lennon, Gandhi, Buddha, Martin Luther King, Chico Xavier, Kennedy, Mother Teresa, Socrates, Jesus … Some might see walking around here. And even kill them to be quiet soon. Other just heard. Speaking at one point that stood out and actively in mission, vigorously and tirelessly, and apparently inconvenient for some. For many this short list were murdered. A mission is not clear to others, but guided by some precepts old-fashioned and naive: Truth, Solidarity, Justice, Rationality … A giant list that has an acronym fool on earth:
Love, which comes and calms. Contrary to hate.
Happy Love ”
Eduardo Martinez
“Just a line to say that I’m alive and living the life that God asked. Feliz 2013!”
Fabio Laguna
“So this is Christmas … The period of reflection and gratitude! In 2012 sang, screamed, jumped, cried, I met old friends, made new … Anyway … I celebrated life!’m Very grateful for it all! Desire everyone, especially the family Hangar, because were part of this, a Merry Christmas, a great New Year and the coming of 2013! ”
Michael Polchowicz
“The year 2012 was really special to me. After 13 years I could play again with big brothers that make up this family called Hangar. We did several shows in celebration of 15 years of banda and never forget those moments. I wish good health, love and music for all of you this Christmas. ”
Cristiano Wortmann
“I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of achievements to all who are involved with the Hangar, both amazing people with whom I had the pleasure of sharing the stage, as the entire team that is behind each of the spectacle and especially to you, FANS! Without you it would not make sense to have a stage set. Congratulations to all! ”
Pedro Campos
20.DEZ.2012 – Eduardo Martinez at Guitar Player #200!
“I’m in Guitar Player this month with a story very well led by journalist friend and musician Heverton Nascimento. It’s been exactly ten years since the first time I did appear in this magazine that I collect since 1985. Thank you to Hangar, to our fans and supporters in Art and music industry, without which this would not be possible.
It is the G.P. #200! It is an honor to be in this special edition with monsters of Brazilian music as Pepeu Gomes, Carlini, Lanny Gordin, Sérgio Dias and Scandurra! I watched his shows and played their music for all my life.

06.SET.2012 – Ad aired on Roadie Crew Magazine of September 2012.
05.SET.2012 – Review of the DVD Haunted by your Ghosts in Ijuí/RS – Acoustic, but Plugged In and Live! is 9,0 at Roadie Crew Magazine – September 2012
The hangar had already surprised to release last year, the acoustic CD “Acoustic But Plugged In.” The surprise in this case has nothing to do with the competence of the band’s performance, something indisputable and known even by my grandmother, but to show the beauty of the melodies and harmonies of the quintet repertoire something that distortion and volume of Heavy metal does not always let on. Now is the time for the band release the DVD of the tour to promote the album, recorded in the city of Rio Grande do Sul Ijuí as the name of the video already shown. On its face, draws attention to the care the band surrounded himself to compose this release. There is much more here than just a show. Clips, “making ofs”, interviews (with some revealing details that will certainly draw more attention) and some bonuses that will make the celebration of the fans who love this kind of “gift”. But is the show that attracts more attention. And what a show! In the CD had been latent th competence and musicality of the keyboardist Fabio Laguna, in this DVD video that practically jumps in your lap. Moreover, the new vocalist André Leite, also confirms the rescue of talent and charisma that the band resented for some time. Moreover, Aquiles Priester, as always, stands out for creative performance and precise, even in a much smaller drum kit – of up to see the face behind the instrument! Every show is a highlight of the DVD, but “Haunted By Your Ghosts”, a song written especially for the acoustic design, is a real find.
05.SET.2012 – Interview with Aquiles Priester at Vitrola Verde blog.
It is with great honor that I interview one of the best drummers in the world. Aquiles Priester divides here some of his musical career in the bands of Paul Di ‘Anno, Angra, Hangar and also the test he did in the band Dream Theater. Learn more about the book, workshops, concerts and stages of Aquiles Priester, which is releasing with band Hangar the DVD “Haunted by your Ghosts in Ijuí/RS – Acoustic, but Plugged In and Live.”
The show is only beginning…

26.AGO.2012 – HANGAR – DVD release “Haunted By Your Ghosts In Ijuí/RS – Acoustic, But Plugged In And Live!”

André Leite (vocal)
Eduardo Martinez (acoustic guitar)
Fábio Laguna (keyboards and backing vocals)
Nando Mello (bass and backing vocals)
Aquiles Priester (drums and backing vocals)
It was supposed to be a simple shoot just to register the moment. But “simple” and “Hangar” are words that are rarely seen together in the same phrase. After all, besides their high-quality music, the band has become known for the detail that goes into all of their productions, be they records, gigs or, as now, video.
Therefore, following the release of the band’s first acoustic album, “Acoustic, But plugged In” (2011), the band went on tour throughout Brazil and decided to take the opportunity and shoot their first DVD at a gig that took place at the SESC theater in Ijuí, a city in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.
The basic set list is the same as that contained in the CD that originated the gig and shows a very tight band and, above all, a band happy to be recording their performance. No tension whatsoever is noted and that would be normal under these circumstances when a gig is being recorded thus allowing no room for mistakes. The self-confidence of André Leite (vocals), Eduardo Martinez (guitar), Fábio Laguna (keyboards), Nando Mello (bass), Aquiles Priester (drums) and guest Théo Vieira (guitar) is evident in each passage, in each change of tempo and in each vocalization. Incidentally, the fact that all musicians, with the exception of Martinez, collaborate with the backing vocals, adds a lot to Hangar’s music.
Besides the gig itself, there are an infinity of extras on the DVD such as interviews, a short documentary accompanying the production of the gig, two video clips and their respective “making of” besides a surprise song that completes the video and makes it a real collector’s item not only for Hangar fans but for all of those who appreciate and accompany Brazilian heavy metal.

23.JUL.2012 – Aquiles Priester’s interview in The Black Page website
“I’m always playing drums, even if only in my mind…”
Aquiles Priester
For many, Aquiles Priester was a name that became uber popular after the Dream Theater drum auditions. However, Aquiles has long been a superstar in his native Brazil, and the onetime corporate executive has fast become the world’s most popular clinician. Aquiles is as big a success story as they get, and it was truly an honor to interview the man they call the Octopus.

Besides the participation of Michael, the band features vocalist Andre Leite doing the electric show in the same night. For the fans it is a big night in Hangar’s carrer, which will show the band’s history in almost three hours of show. The opening act is for the great guitarist Daniel Piquê, who directed the last clip of the song “Haunted by your Ghosts”.

02.JAN.2012 – 2011 Retrospective
As I always do at the beginning of each year, here is my 2011 retrospective. I was really surprised with the quantity of good things that happened this year. The holidays are always useful to take stock of everything one has done during the year as well as to set new goals for the upcoming year. Once during a workshop a kid asked me, “How do you know if you’ll be successful when you’re doing something?” And I answered, “I really don’t know. I’m only sure that if I don’t do something, nothing will happen”. If you don’t believe it’s worth doing something, you’ll start out with the wrong foot because you’ll begin by not believing. Thus, if we don’t believe in ourselves, who will?
January:
• On January 1st, I received two important nominations for my career. I was among five nominated as best Prog Metal drummers of the world and my DVD, “The Infallible Reason of my Freak Drumming”, was also nominated as best instructional DVD by the highly regarded drum magazine, Modern Drummer USA.
• Elóy Casagrande and I took part of Paiste Day Los Angeles right after the Namm Show in Anaheim, California.
February:
• Hangar was able to begin musical activities for the first time in the band’s history before Carnival with workshops in Ribeirão Preto/São Paulo, Londrina/Paraná, Goiânia/Goiás and Anápolis/Goiás.

• Since 2001, I have been elected for 10 years in a row the best brazilian Metal Drummer for the readers of Roadie Crew Magazine.
April:
• I received invitations to take part of the Montreal Drum Fest (Canada) and also the La Rioja Drum Fest (Spain).
• The band Dream Theater officially disclosed that I took part of the most important contemporary drum audition of the world. Only seven drummers all over the world were selected for this audition: Mike Mangini, Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, Marco Minnemann, Peter Wildoer, Derek Roddy and Aquiles Priester.
May:
• I took part of the Modern Drummer Festival and went down in the history of the most important drum festival of the world. I was the first Brazilian metal drummer invited to take part of the event. The presentation was recorded and will be released as a future DVD.
• Hangar began recording the first acoustic CD ever recorded by a heavy metal band in Brazil.
• Hangar played at the Virada Cultural in Presidente Prudente/São Paulo for 18.000 people.
• Finally, after eighteen years of waiting, I had the chance to personally meet the great master Deen Castronovo! I have many great memories of this meeting;
June:
• The result of the best of the year according to the magazine Modern Drummer USA came out and I was voted 5th best Prog Metal drummer of the world next to an enviable ranking: Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison and Marco Minnemann. My DVD “The Infallible Reason of my Freak Drumming” came in 3rd as best instructional DVD of the world in 2011.
July:
• I took part of the Batuka Brasil! International Drum Fest at the Ibirapuera auditorium in São Paulo, organized by Vera Figueiredo.

• I took part of the La Rioja Drum Fest in Spain for an estimated public of 5000 people.
• For the first time in the history of the company, Paiste released a signature cymbal of a Brazilian drummer. “PsychOctopus Giga Bell Ride 18” is released at the Expomusic in São Paulo. I go down in the history of the brand next to Nicko Mc Brain, Stewart Copeland and John Dolmayan who also have signature cymbals of the brand.
October:
• My partnership with Mapex completed 10 years and I did a historical workshop on the stage of EM&T School in São Paulo.

21.DEZ.2011 – Christmas message!
End of year again! Amazing how fast 2011 came to an end and how it was good for the band. We’re almost ending “The Infallible Tour 2010-2011”, which still has some dates in 2012… The numbers are quite impressive: more than 70,000 km on the run, 128 events (electric shows, acoustic and workshops), recording the first acoustic album from a metal band in Brazil, 3 video clips (one still unpublished) and to finish on a top, a recorded acoustic DVD to celebrate 15 years of the band in 2012.
We want to thank all the people who were at the Teatro do SESC in Ijuí/RS, and participated in the most important moment of the band so far. We have begun to edit the DVD footage and we can guarantee that you all were very proud to be part of our history.
We also want to thank all the people who played with the band in the last two years: Daniel Fernandes, Rodrigo Carnevskis, Rodolfo Reset, Sebastião Telles, Lucas Tankão, Appolo Moreira, Bruno Lorenzen, Fábio Conceição and Humberto Sobrinho.
We wish you all a great holiday season, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

05.DEZ.2011 – A Picture of a Lifetime – On Board Flight 666.
I always spoke about the importance of Iron Maiden in my musical life since first hearing “Caught Somewhere In Time” in 1986. Slowly my career developed and that kid, who collected and hung clippings of the band all over his bedroom and even kept them inside his wallet, grew up and became a professional musician. But Aquiles’ essence still remains the same. Recently I received my copy of the book “On Board Flight 666” by Iron Maiden and there are two pictures of none less than Nicko McBrain using Hangar’s T-shirt of the album “The Reason of Your Conviction”. I can’t even begin explaining what this means to my life! Even if I spent days writing and talking about the fact it still wouldn’t be enough. It may seem like something of little importance to some, but if you read my biography “Aquiles Octopus Priester – From Fan to Idol” I’m sure you’ll understand what this represents.
There are no words to thank you, Nicko, but rest assured that this means a lot in my life. I’d also like to thank photographer John McMutrie for the amazing job. On Hangar’s next trip that begins tomorrow, December 6th, I’ll use a different Iron Maiden T-shirt every day until I return on December 17th. It is a symbolic homage and a small one when compared to Nicko using a T-shirt of my band during an official publication of the band released worldwide, but for me it means much more than that.
Up the Irons!

————————————————–
What’s up Aquilles, how are you?
First let me congratulate you not only for the 10 years with the MAPEX, but throughout your extraordinary career. I read your book last week and I realized how your whole career went from a fan to an idol. Dude, listen to you instigate any drummer to improving. Your accuracy, speed, power, everything fits in perfect order and harmony. It may even seem a little bit “gay” (rs), but to hear you play in front of me moves me a lot and courages me to play and learn from everything you do. Your groove is violent, is surreal and shook the Auditório Mix Music Hall – EM&T. You dont know how much it means to me to have contact with you. I already have 31 years old, bearded, bald (lol) but when I see you playing, when you give me an autograph or take a picture sharing me a second of your attention, I feel myself like a boy seeing the idol up close and made me feel it all worthed. I started following you in Angra at Jo Soares show and at that time the band was releasing the CD Rebirth in 2001 and henceforth I never got tired of hearing you play, no matter where, no matter the band, because I learn every time I hear a little more. If you where inspired by Deen Castronovo’s drums and set up, I’m inspired by you both as a musician and as a person and my little tribute to you is to try to set up my drum kit like yours. Thanks for everything, thanks for your dedication to music and not let the fame change who you are. Thanks for the example of life, example of overcoming, persistence and love to music and for all you did to Brazilian music. You are number 1 and I’m proud to have you in the first place as the best drummer. Keep it up brother, you’ll go very far yet, I’m sure. May God keep blessing you and opening even more doors.
A big hug Aquiles Priester Octopus.
Your friend Mazao

22.NOV.2011 – Review from Aquiles Priester at Modern Drummer Festival 2011.
Brazilian drummer Aquiles Priester hauled out the kind of monster kit that draws cheers all by itself,a kit that took hours to set up the day before. Priester didn’t come to mess around – his performance comprised one intense play-along track after another, including songs by his prog-metal bands Hangar and Freakeys. Every note was played with fierce intent, within imaginative orchestrations that reflected a clever musical mind. Just when you thought a beat was about as dense as it could get, you’d find Priester adding another layer of rhythm the next time around. Clarity is obviously a big part of the drummer’s aesthetic, and Priester sets his toms almost flat to help hit rimshots. (Backstage, we asked, “So you hit rimshots on the toms some of the time?” Aquiles’ reply: “Every time.”) His cymbals arsenal consisted of heavy, dark-sounding models that barked, clanged, pinged, and hissed their way into the show-goers’ heart. As Priester finished his high-intensity workout, he jumped up on his throne, tossed his sticks and yelled “You rule” to the roaring crowd.
22.NOV.2011 – Workshow in São Paulo.
21.NOV.2011 – Exclusive interview to Jovem Pan.

The musicians in the band visited the studios of Jovem Pan online to talk about the shows, change of vocalist, the fans, the pretensions to international tours and especially to send your message to the fans…

http://www.hudsonmusic.com/hudson/products/modern-drummer-festival-2011/
The Hudson Music team was on hand once again to capture all the action as the Modern Drummer Festival 2011 took place at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey.
In a program packed with amazing performances and insightful educational segments, Gil Sharone (Stolen Babies/Dillinger Escape Plan) expands on concepts found in his Wicked Beats DVD, Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Herbie Hancock/Dr. Dre) performs in hip-hop and fusion styles (with guest percussionist Taku Hirano), jazz innovator Jeff “Tain” Watts presents an incredible set with his stellar quartet, prog/metal star Aquiles Priester performs a blistering set of songs from Hangar and Freakeys, and, finally, drum superstar Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez performs with The New World Order, an all-star world music group put together just for the festival.
In addition to the main show, also included are two enlightening master classes. Jazz legend John Riley (Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) demonstrates rhythms that can be heard from various polyrhythmic perspectives, while top country drummer Jim Riley (Rascal Flatts) demonstrates and discusses stylistic versatility and rudimental concepts.
An extensive printable PDF eBook is also included, containing transcriptions of nearly 50 detailed transcriptions of drum parts and educational ideas.
This video package presents not only a chance to relive the Modern Drummer Festival, but to study and learn the concepts presented by these great artists in depth and detail not possible just by attending the event.

04.NOV.2011 – Review of the album Acoustic, But Plugged In!.
Roadie Crew Magazine – November 2011
By Antonio Carlos Monteiro
Note 9.0
What happens if we take off the guitar’s distortion from a heavy metal band, guttural vocals and the heavy of the “kitchen”? Well, if the band is good at their job, nice melodies and harmonies abound. And that’s exactly what can be seen here in the first Hangar’s acoustic album. With the heavy and speed mitigated will reveal the details of the melodic repertoire, which shows a new facet of the quintet. Acoustic, but Plugged In! also brings a newness/surprise… the debut of new singer, André Leite. And it is always a risky venture for a group to make a change in this function, Hangar managed to do it with full success. Beside keyboardist Fábio Laguna, who runs most of the harmonies of the album with extreme talent, André is the highlight of the album. Showing features previously not existing in the band, enormous versatility and especially indisputable competence as an interpreter (and not just as a singer), André gave a new color to the songs plus a new masterpiece: Haunted by yous Ghosts. The production, again in charge of the drummer Aquiles Priester, managed to smooth the acoustic calls without sacrificing what a heavy metal music requires. It is now expected by the premiere of André Leite in an electric album.

03.NOV.2011 – Dominating Bell In Black.
Nottwil/Switzerland – The renowned Swiss cymbal maker Paiste announces the introduction of the new 18″ 2002 Giga Bell Ride “Psychoctopus”.
Aquiles Priester belongs to the crème de la crème of Brazilian’s drummers scene. His clinics enthuse drummers around the world, and this year’s highlights were Aquiles’ appearances at Modern Drummer Festival and Montreal Drum Fest. In collaboration with him, Paiste created the 18″ 2002 Giga Bell Ride “Psychoctopus”, which enhances our line of artist inspired ride cymbals. Looking at the cymbal the almost 8” sized, hammered bell dominates the silhouette. The black coating contrasted by white 2002 printings and Aquiles’ remarkable mask logo complete the cymbal’s outstanding visual nature. The heavy weighted cymbal, made of established 2002 bronze, and hammered in style of a 2002 Heavy Ride impresses with a concise, dry and glassy clear ping sound. The overlarge cup bursts with power and produces a cutting, bell like sound, when played with the shoulder of the stick. Especially prog-metal drummers, who are performing almost as virtuous as Aquiles in his solos or with his band Hangar, benefit from the well-defined, quick and short as well as penetrating unique sound of the cymbal.

01.NOV.2011 – Aquiles Priester is invited to play with Tony MacAlpine.
Aquiles Priester was recently invited to play with guitar player Tony MacAlpine at the international Namm Show which will take place between the 19th and 22nd of January in Anaheim, California (USA).
Aquiles always appreciated Tony MacAlpine’s music and owns all of his albums. It was thanks to one of the guitar player’s records, the acclaimed “Maximum Security” that the drummer got to know his biggest influence, Deen Castronovo. Aquiles says, “Without doubt, this is the highlight of my career. Playing with Tony will be a very special moment in my musical life. This was my most secret dream and, to be honest, I never thought that it could become reality. I live in Brazil which is very distant from Pasadena, Los Angeles where MacAlpine lives and there are many excellent musicians physically much closer to him. I am very happy and flattered to have been chosen to play with one of my biggest influences”, he states.
According to him, “playing the songs that were recorded by great masters such as Deen Castronovo, Steve Smith, Atma Anur, Mike Terrana, Glen Sobel and, more recently, Virgil Donati and Marco Minnemann will be a great honor for me! I can hardly wait for the first rehearsal with Tony, Nili Brosh (guitar) and Bjorn Englen (bass).” Aquiles remembers that “in 2011 I fulfilled great dreams such as playing at the biggest drum festivals all over the world like the Montreal Drum Fest in Canada, Laguna Drum Fest in Mexico, La Rioja Drum Fest in Spain and also the Modern Drummer Festival USA which will be released in DVD world wide in November. Now all that is left is to thank all the fans for their unconditional support. This is not only my achievement, it is all of ours,” he concludes.

Damaris Silveira and Pryscila Gianoti from Sao Bernardo do Campo/SP, did a great tribute to Hangar tattooing lyric from the song “Somelight to Find My Way” from the Infallible album released in 2009.

10.SET.2011 – Hangar – Official Communication
All of the decisions we take in life always bring some kind of consequence and this is something that everyone, independent of their profession, has already experienced. At the end of May this year, during our “The Infallible Tour”, we decided to record our new acoustic album since we’d been doing this kind of show around Brazil for a long time. In other words, even before running out of possibilities with the “Infallible” album, we already planned maintaining the band active for some more time before beginning the recording of a new album and definitely ending this tour.
This meant not going home for an undetermined time and staying on the road in touch with our fans doing gigs, clinics and workshops. All of those who have already attended a Hangar gig know that we love being on stage and feel very much at ease playing live. However, our lead singer Humberto Sobrinho would not be able to accompany us on this new journey for personal reasons that all members of Hangar know and respect. These problems are so serious that he had to abandon our acoustic project in the middle of the recordings to try and solve them in Manaus where he lives.
And as every decision generates a new situation, we now have a new member in Hangar to substitute Humberto: we are proud and satisfied to present André Leite, whom you can get to know through our MySpace, where you can get a small taste of our new album “Acoustic, But Plugged In!”, and also watch the clip of our song “Haunted By Your Ghosts”.
We carry on welcoming André Leite and wishing our good and eternal friend Humberto Sobrinho health, peace and prosperity.

Below is a transcript of Humberto’s official communication about his departure of the band.
Aquiles, Mello, Fábio e Martinez.
“Hi everyone,
It is with great sadness that I write these words because I love being near you doing what I do best in life.
However, I have to step back at the moment to take care of personal matters that are beyond dispute and extremely important to me.
I’d like to thank all of those who have been present in my musical life from the bottom of my heart and I´d like everyone to keep on supporting the band as they always did.
Thank you very much for everything.
Humberto Sobrinho”
10.SET.2011 – Hangar – Acoustic, But Plugged In!
André Leite (vocals)
Eduardo Martinez (guitar)
Fábio Laguna (keyboards)
Nando Mello (bass)
Aquiles Priester (drums)
A lot has been said about what kind of rock music is suitable for acoustic versions. The answer is simple: any kind. If it turns out to be good or not, depends exclusively on the competence of the musician(s) playing. It is that simple.
Having said that, I guess I don’t even have to say that the very competent musicians of Hangar took their songs, normally brimming with weight and speed, and did a fantastic job on their first acoustic album, Acoustic, But Plugged In! Actually, the band had been performing various acoustic gigs throughout the country and the release of such an album was a natural consequence for the band.
However, before beginning the recordings, a problem arose: vocalist Humberto Sobrinho had to leave the band due to personal problems. As luck always smiles down on those who deserve it, Hangar found in André Leite the right person to take over the role: his clear and brilliant timbre proved to be versatile enough to reproduce themes recorded by no less than three different singers. Besides, at moments in which the vocals, even on an acoustic album, demand a lot from a heavy metal singer, it is clear that André is the right musician for the role.
Once this matter was solved and the repertoire chosen, the new arrangements forged by the band ended up being the aspect that stood out the most on the album. After all, the themes gained the mellowness that acoustic interpretation demands, but maintained a good dose of their original heaviness. Furthermore, there was an immense valorization of Hangar’s beautiful melodies, something the adrenaline of heavy metal doesn’t always allow to totally shine through. The repertoire, hand picked by the band, brings tracks of their four studio albums besides an unpublished track, “Haunted By Your Ghosts”.
As to the cover and pullout, conceived by Aquiles and produced by designer Vanessa Döi, they are a unique feature for masterfully blending the softness of acoustic with the weight of metal.
Produced by drummer Aquiles Priester (who is proving to be a master in the role), co-produced and mixed by Theo Vieira and mastered by Heros Trench (Mr. Som), Acoustic, But Plugged In! was recorded and mixed at FX studio in São Paulo (SP). The album will be released by the label Making Of at the next Expomusic Music Fair which will take place from September 21st through 25th in São Paulo.
And despite the arrangements for the release of Acoustic, But Plugged In!, Hangar is still on the road, doing what they do best: gigs brimming with energy and talent, be they acoustic or plugged in.

25.JUN.2011 – Happy Birthday Aquiles Priester
Forty years ago was born in Otjo, South Africa Aquiles Priester.
If you do not know the story of a musician who has gained more and more space for the musicians of Brazil in the world, it is worth you read the official biography of the drummer. Below is the text on the back cover of the official biography Aquiles “Octopus” Priester, written by renowned writer Roberto Shinyashiki.
Congratulations Aquiles, and thank you for raising and show the level of Brazilian music in the world!
————————————————– ——
“You see the shots that I take, but do not see the bumps that I take.”
This phrase reflects the man inside the lives of great musicians.
When the crowd applauds wildly a show, do not realize how much I had to battle for each of the musicians get where they arrived. Of course there are exceptions for some pretty popular singers who are blessed with success, but did not receive the gift of determination… They rise with the success of the first song and die of exhaustion before the second… But the real musicians know that the spice of soul music is made of hard work, so much of tears and sweat. Sleepless nights waiting for a desired response, frustration and joy of many “nos” in order to fulfill its vocation.
The life story of Aquiles Priester is inspiring… Not only for musicians but for all people who have a dream and a willingness to do it. From a difficult childhood and adolescence, going through all the hardships of the first dances in the interior of Parana, through all the pitfalls of show business, he is an example of courage and determination. His pleasure in playing contaminates everything with joy. A celebration of great victories and a great soul to leave behind what does not deserve to be charged are his trademarks.
This book will lead you to travel the world of your dreams through the story of an idol of our music. Applauded in Angra, Hangar, in the company of revered rock icons, Aquiles has the courage to open your heart and invite you to experience the world of a boy who could realize their dreams.
The trip is worth it… “De fã a ídolo” will show that everything is possible when you have a big heart.
Best wishes,
Roberto Shinyashiki

22.ABR.2011 – Aquiles Priester at Modern Drummer Festival in USA
Brazilian drummer Aquiles Priester is among the most fascinating and talked-about extreme metal musicians on the planet. Priester first came to prominence with the heavy metal band Hangar, with which he’s recorded several albums. In 2001 he joined Angra, the most popular melodic metal group in Brazil. His appearance on the band’s albums Rebirth (2001), Hunters And Prey (2002), Live In São Paulo (2002), Temple Of Shadows (2004), and Aurora Consurgens (2006) resulted in many poll wins for the drummer, and his reputation began to spread internationally.
Beyond his blinding performances on record and on stage, Priester has been very visible in conducting drum clinics at home in Brazil, as well as in Europe and Asia. In 2004 he released his first instructional DVD, Inside My Drums, and in 2006 founded the instrumental rock band Freakeys. He’s also penned an instructional book focusing on his advanced double bass technique, Inside My PsychoBook: 100 Double Bass Patterns, and produced a second DVD, The Infallible Reason Of My Freak Drumming. Aquiles was featured in the November 2010 issue of Modern Drummer. This is his first MD Fest appearance.

26.MAR.2011 – Aquiles Priester will attend the event “Performance is Everything Party.”
Aquiles Priester is going to play at “Performance is Everything Party” in Frankfurt, Germany, during the MusikMesse Fair 2011. The event is hosted by Mapex. Vera Figueiredo is going to play as well.
Read the complete news below:
Introduction
Since its inception in 2007, the bi-annual “Performance Is Everything” Party hosted by Mapex has become an unmissable highlight of Musikmesse. Building on the success of previous years, PIE Party 2011 boasts an unrivalled diversity of artists – each of whom represents the cream of modern drumming – performing at this exciting event, a dazzling showcase which transcends genre and style. Come and indulge your shared passion for drums and music; leave with an unforgettable beat that resonates long after the show has ended. To Mapex, Performance Is Everything.
The Performers (in order of appearance)
Aquiles Priester
A titan of the progressive metal scene, Aquiles’s blistering double bass virtuosity and high-octane licks have powered the blockbusting anthems of Hangar and Angra, among other projects (including his solo DVD The Infallible Reason Of My Freak Drumming, released during Winter NAMM 2011 to universal acclaim). In 2010, Modern Drummers readers poll nominated Aquiles in two categories: Best Educational DVD (for The Infallible Reason Of My Freak Drumming), and Best Progressive Metal Drummer (alongside other luminaries such as Mike Portnoy and Neil Peart). Earlier this year Aquiles celebrated his 10th consecutive year of being elected Best Brazilian Heavy Metal Drummer by the readers of Roadie Crew magazine. Aquiles will make his debut on the main stage of the prestigious Modern Drummer Festival on May 21st in New Jersey.

Claus Hessler
A clinician and educator of global repute, Claus is widely acknowledged to be the legitimate successor to the legendary Jim Chapin. An ardent advocate of open-handed playing and the creative freedom that follows from adopting this approach, Claus authored Open Handed Playing Vol I in collaboration with Dom Famularo (foreword by Billy Cobham), with the second volume slated for release in spring 2011. His playing is characterized by jaw-dropping ambidexterity, independence, and multi-layered ostinato patterns.

Vera Figueiredo
The reigning queen of modern samba, Vera has enchanted and captivated audiences with her command of her native Brazilian rhythmic idioms: her playalong instructional book and double CD package Vera Cruz Island – Brazilian Rhythms For Drumset (based on her album Vera Cruz Island, co-written by Daniel Oliveira, and published by Hudson Music) is a masterful treatise on applying these to the drumset. Impassioned, infectious grooves delivered with flair are established traits of this artist, evoking beautiful landscapes and the lush rainforests of her homeland.

Thomas Heinz
This talented young winner of Drummer Of Tomorrow 2008 is rapidly emerging as a rising star, and is gradually being recognized as being one of the most distinctive voices of the next generation of drumming talent: fresh, dynamic, and full of personality.
Damien Schmitt
Upon being introduced, jazz and fusion legend Jean Luc Ponty hired Damien on the spot after witnessing the drummer’s impressive technique, feel, and creativity. In addition to his regular touring and recording schedule, Damien’s unorthodox and boundless musical imagination has led to him being in constant demand for clinics and festival appearances, both as a solo and ensemble player.

The album Infallible, released by Hangar in 2009, became a great success among both the public and the critics due to the quality of the work developed by the band, who has been promoting the album by means of “The Infallible Tour” since the beginning of 2010.
And now the perfectionism and diligence that the musicians have invested in this album are once again available to the public in an extended version: a new edition of Infallible hits the stores accompanied by a DVD that contains vast and assorted material such as the video clip recorded by the band for the track “Dreaming of Black Waves” and its making of, plus videos of the first gigs of “The Infallible Tour”, interviews with the band members, the making of the album recordings and a photo gallery.
Furthermore, the audio CD includes a bonus track, “Like a Wind in the Sky”, that had only been released in Japan.
This all comes to prove that Infallible is a dead-on, direct, varied and competent album as defined by both fans and critics.

In a country with little traditional rocker, and even less in heavy metal bands need to turn around if they want to happen. That is why the Hangar “invented” the workshow to circumvent the lack of support and even the public. Read the full article at the link below.

28.JAN.2011 – Aquiles Priester & Eloy Casagrande – Having fun in Hollywood and Paiste Day at MI – Los Angeles
From January 13th to January 20th, Eloy and I were in the USA to take part of the Namm Show and Paiste Day that were held at the renowned Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. The event itself was sensational and besides demonstrating new cymbals and a raffle of two Paiste prototypes, Eloy and I did a workshop. Together we played the final solo which lasted almost 9 minutes. We received a standing ovation and also counted with the more than distinguished presence of Thomas Lang with whom we had had lunch the previous day and had also spent the afternoon at his home studio where we had a great time.
Besides Eloy and I, Rodrigo of Urban Boards was also present. He is currently developing a signature sneaker for Thomas. I can state that besides being one of the most awesome drummers in the history of music, Thomas has a great heart and is an excellent person. Thank you very much for the great moments we had together, Thomas. The previous week we attended the Namm Show – you can check out some pictures on our site – and we also had the opportunity to do some sightseeing plus two days rehearsing at SIR Rental Studio in LA where the guys from Maroon 5 were also rehearsing. We spent little over a week away from Brazil and had a great time.
Special thanks to all of Paiste, Mapex, Gibraltar, DW Pedals, Pro-Mark, Evans, LP and Musicians Institute.

13.JAN.2011 – Aquiles Priester and Eloy Casagrande participate in the Paiste Day L.A.
Paiste America invites you to PAISTE DAY LA on January 19th to try out our newest releases. With the introduction of several new models, drummers will get the chance to play the newest cymbals on the market. There will be several Paiste artists on hand to discuss the new sounds and demo cymbals. There will have plenty of giveways, door prizes and two prototype cymbals will be raffled off.
The event will culminate with a rare performance by two of Brazil’s top drummers, Eloy Casagrande and Aquiles Priester.
Aquiles Priester has become the face of Brazillian rock drumming. With his long a varied career he has taken the world by storm. Playing with several bands, most notably, Hangar and Angra, Aquiles has established his place among the top drummers in the world. With his new DVD “THE INFALLIBLE REASON OF MY FREAK DRUMMING” drummers around the world will be able to tap into the mind of one of the great talents behind the kit.
Eloy Casagrande was first brought to the attention of American drummers when, at age 14, he performed at the Modern Drummer Festival 2005. His ability to fuse the drums of Brazil and the power of rock music in a seamless way left the crowd in disbelief. Since that time Eloy has spent his time refining his talent playing with Andre Matos, the former singer of Angra.
In addition to the performances, Paiste will be holding a raffle for two prototype Paiste cymbals and a NAMM badge for the 2012 trade show. There will be several other giveaways on hand as well.
