\n21.DEZ.2011 – Christmas message!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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acoustic and workshops), recording the first acoustic album from a metal band in Brazil, 3 video clips (one still unpublished) and to finish on a top, a recorded acoustic DVD to celebrate 15 years of the band in 2012.<\/p>\n

We want to thank all the people who were at the Teatro do SESC in Iju\u00ed\/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.<\/p>\n

We also want to thank all the people who played with the band in the last two years:\u00a0Daniel Fernandes, Rodrigo Carnevskis,\u00a0Rodolfo Reset, Sebasti\u00e3o Telles, Lucas Tank\u00e3o, Appolo Moreira,\u00a0Bruno Lorenzen, F\u00e1bio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o and Humberto Sobrinho.<\/p>\n

We wish\u00a0you all a\u00a0great\u00a0holiday season, Merry Christmas\u00a0and Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

Now the band’s back releasing the acclaimed acoustic album “Acoustic, but Plugged In!” which is already considered one of the greatest albums of the year. “We are very proud to be the first metal band from Brazil to release an acoustic album and we are sure that the DVD will be a way of remembering this work forever! We’re counting with the presence of all our fans to show the world the strength of the metal community of Rio Grande do Sul!” concludes the drummer.<\/p>\n

\n05.DEZ.2011 \u2013 A Picture of a Lifetime \u2013 On Board Flight 666.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I always spoke about the importance of Iron Maiden in my musical life since first hearing \u201cCaught Somewhere In Time\u201d 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\u2019 essence still remains the same. Recently I received my copy of the book \u201cOn Board Flight 666\u201d by Iron Maiden and there are two pictures of none less than Nicko McBrain using Hangar\u2019s T-shirt of the album \u201cThe Reason of Your Conviction\u201d. I can\u2019t even begin explaining what this means to my life! Even if I spent days writing and talking about the fact it still wouldn\u2019t be enough. It may seem like something of little importance to some, but if you read my biography \u201cAquiles Octopus Priester \u2013 From Fan to Idol\u201d I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll understand what this represents.<\/p>\n

There are no words to thank you, Nicko, but rest assured that this means a lot in my life. I\u2019d also like to thank photographer John McMutrie for the amazing job. On Hangar\u2019s next trip that begins tomorrow, December 6th, I\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n

\nBest regards,
\nAquiles Priester<\/p>\n

————————————————–<\/p>\n

What’s up Aquilles, how are you?
\nFirst 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 Audit\u00f3rio 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.<\/p>\n

A big hug Aquiles Priester Octopus.<\/p>\n

22.NOV.2011 – Review\u00a0from Aquiles Priester\u00a0at Modern\u00a0Drummer\u00a0Festival\u00a02011.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cTain\u201d Watts presents an incredible set with his stellar quartet,\u00a0prog\/metal star Aquiles Priester performs a blistering set of songs from Hangar and Freakeys, and, finally, drum superstar Horacio \u201cEl Negro\u201d Hernandez performs with The New World Order, an all-star world music group put together just for the festival.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

An extensive printable PDF eBook is also included, containing transcriptions of nearly 50 detailed transcriptions of drum parts and educational ideas.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

04.NOV.2011 – Review of the album Acoustic, But Plugged In!.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Roadie Crew Magazine – November 2011
\nBy Antonio Carlos Monteiro
\nNote 9.0<\/p>\n

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, Andr\u00e9 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 F\u00e1bio Laguna, who runs most of the harmonies of the album with extreme talent, Andr\u00e9 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), Andr\u00e9 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 Andr\u00e9 Leite in an electric album.<\/p>\n

03.NOV.2011 – Dominating Bell In Black.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nottwil\/Switzerland – The renowned Swiss cymbal maker Paiste announces the introduction of the new 18″ 2002 Giga Bell Ride \u201cPsychoctopus\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aquiles Priester belongs to the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Brazilian\u2019s drummers scene. His clinics enthuse drummers around the world, and this year\u2019s highlights were Aquiles\u2019 appearances at Modern Drummer Festival and Montreal Drum Fest. In collaboration with him, Paiste created the 18″ 2002 Giga Bell Ride \u201cPsychoctopus\u201d, which enhances our line of artist inspired ride cymbals. Looking at the cymbal the almost 8\u201d sized, hammered bell dominates the silhouette. The black coating contrasted by white 2002 printings and Aquiles\u2019 remarkable mask logo complete the cymbal\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

Aquiles always appreciated Tony MacAlpine\u2019s music and owns all of his albums. It was thanks to one of the guitar player\u2019s records, the acclaimed \u201cMaximum Security\u201d that the drummer got to know his biggest influence, Deen Castronovo. Aquiles says, \u201cWithout 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\u201d, he states.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cplaying 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).\u201d Aquiles remembers that \u201cin 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,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n

10.SET.2011 \u2013\u00a0Hangar – Official Communication<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

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 \u201cThe Infallible Tour\u201d, we decided to record our new acoustic album since we\u2019d been doing this kind of show around Brazil for a long time. In other words, even before running out of possibilities with the \u201cInfallible\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 Andr\u00e9 Leite, whom you can get to know through our MySpace, where you can get a small taste of our new album \u201cAcoustic, But Plugged In!\u201d, and also watch the clip of our song \u201cHaunted By Your Ghosts\u201d.<\/p>\n

We carry on welcoming Andr\u00e9 Leite and wishing our good and eternal friend Humberto Sobrinho health, peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Aquiles, Mello, F\u00e1bio e Martinez.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi everyone,<\/em><\/p>\n

It is with great sadness that I write these words because I love being near you doing what I do best in life.
\nHowever, I have to step back at the moment to take care of personal matters that are beyond dispute and extremely important to me.
\nI\u2019d like to thank all of those who have been present in my musical life from the bottom of my heart and I\u00b4d like everyone to keep on supporting the band as they always did.
\nThank you very much for everything.<\/em><\/p>\n

10.SET.2011 \u2013\u00a0Hangar – Acoustic, But Plugged In!<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nNando Mello (bass)
\nAquiles Priester (drums)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Having said that, I guess I don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

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 Andr\u00e9 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 Andr\u00e9 is the right musician for the role.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s beautiful melodies, something the adrenaline of heavy metal doesn\u2019t 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”.<\/p>\n

As to the cover and pullout, conceived by Aquiles and produced by designer Vanessa D\u00f6i, they are a unique feature for masterfully blending the softness of acoustic with the weight of metal.<\/p>\n

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 S\u00e3o 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 S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n

\n25.JUN.2011 \u2013\u00a0Happy Birthday Aquiles Priester<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Forty years ago was born in Otjo, South Africa Aquiles Priester.
\nIf 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.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Aquiles, and thank you for raising and show the level of Brazilian music in the world!<\/p>\n

————————————————– ——<\/p>\n

“You see the shots that I take, but do not see the bumps that I take.”<\/p>\n

This phrase reflects the man inside the lives of great musicians.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The trip is worth it… \u201cDe f\u00e3 a \u00eddolo\u201d will show that everything is possible when you have a big heart.<\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n

Roberto Shinyashiki<\/p>\n

22.ABR.2011 \u2013\u00a0Aquiles Priester at Modern Drummer Festival in USA<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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\u2019s recorded several albums. In 2001 he joined Angra, the most popular melodic metal group in Brazil. His appearance on the band\u2019s albums Rebirth (2001), Hunters And Prey (2002), Live In S\u00e3o 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Aquiles Priester<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A titan of the progressive metal scene, Aquiles\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the audio CD includes a bonus track, “Like a Wind in the Sky”, that had only been released in Japan.<\/p>\n

This all comes to prove that Infallible is a dead-on, direct, varied and competent album as defined by both fans and critics.<\/p>\n

28.JAN.2011 \u2013 Aquiles Priester & Eloy Casagrande – Having fun in Hollywood and Paiste Day at MI – Los Angeles\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 you can check out some pictures on our site \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to all of Paiste, Mapex, Gibraltar, DW Pedals, Pro-Mark, Evans, LP and Musicians Institute.<\/p>\n

13.JAN.2011 \u2013\u00a0Aquiles Priester and Eloy Casagrande participate in the Paiste Day L.A.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The event will culminate with a rare performance by two of Brazil\u2019s top drummers, Eloy Casagrande and Aquiles Priester.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cTHE INFALLIBLE REASON OF MY FREAK DRUMMING\u201d drummers around the world will be able to tap into the mind of one of the great talents behind the kit.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
