Secret Garden - Angra (Guitar cover)

Metal Monday!

Today I’m going with one of my absolute favorite bands: Angra. They’re a progressive metal band from Brazil known for blending styles—speed metal, progressive metal, symphonic metal, and even groove-driven rhythms. After I first discovered Dream Theater, Angra quickly became another one of my favorites from the progressive metal genre.

Here in the U.S. they aren’t very well known, but their guitarist at the time, Kiko Loureiro, later joined Megadeth for several years. This particular track, Secret Garden, doesn’t feature Angra’s lead vocalist. Instead, they brought in guest singer Simone Simons from symphonic metal band Epica—and she delivers with the voice of an angel.

Even though half the song doesn’t have guitar, and the guitar sections themselves aren’t overly complicated, it’s just such a beautiful piece of music that I wanted to share for Metal Monday. This one is about feeling the song as much as playing it.

🎸 Gear used: Jackson USA Soloist, Line 6 Spider IV Amp
