ANGRA Guitarist Rafael Bittencourt: "Brazillian Fans Are Very Proud And Loyal To Their Heritage" 
Transform Online (
www.transformonline.com ) has issued an interview with ANGRA guitarist Rafael Bittencourt, conducted by Tim Den. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: I must admit that I was quite surprised to find out Angra were from Brazil when I first heard Angels Cry back in ’96. I had always associated Brazilian metal with death, thrash, hardcore, and punk like Sepultura and Ratos De Porão…
A: "Yeah, but I would say that the power metal scene here is bigger than the death / thrash / hardcore scenes now."
Q: Really?
A: "Yes, because those genres have mostly stayed underground, whereas certain parts of our catalog and career have crossed over into the mainstream."
Q: Would you say that you guys and Sepultura are kind of Brazilian metal’s “big names?”
A: "I think so, because Brazilian fans are very proud and loyal to their heritage, so they are always championing us."
