NACIONAIS/BIOGRAFIAS

 

HANGAR

Banda formada em novembro de 1997, com o objetivo inicial de tocar alguns covers de bandas de que todos gostavam. Nessa época o Hangar era composto por Michael (vocal), Cristiano (guitarra), Felipe (baixo) e Aquiles (bateria). Após vários ensaios, começaram a aparecer as primeiras idéias de composição, e a primeira música a ser composta foi Absinth.

  O show de estréia do Hangar no dia 23 de julho de 98, foi muito marcante para a banda, pois além do público presente ser bem maior do que o esperado (a banda havia anunciado no cartaz que tocaria covers deStratovarius, Helloween, Dream Theater, Primal Fear, Yngwie Malmsteen e etc), e a partir dessa data, a banda sentiu que poderia tentar vôos mais altos e começou a compor as músicas que mais tarde fariam parte do seu primeiro CD.
Os bons resultados dos shows que tinham realizado logo se espalharam, além dos ótimos comentários da crítica especializada.

Com uma carreira fulminante e logo descoberta pelos amantes do peso em Porto Alegre, o grupo com apenas um ano de vida já estava abrindo o show do Angra, no qual a banda teve a participação especial de Gustavo Capitâni no baixo, pois Felipe havia deixado a banda por motivos particulares. Com esta oportunidade, o Hangar se firmou como a grande revelação do Heavy Metal Sulista em 98. A partir deste show, o grupo sentiu a necessidade de registrar suas composições em CD. Entraram em estúdio ainda em novembro e lançaram o CD Last Time em maio de 1999. O atual baixista Nando Mello, só entrou na banda após a gravação do CD, sendo que todos os baixos foram gravados por Cristiano.
Durante todo ano de 1999 o CD Last Time foi divulgado nas principais revistas de Heavy Metal do país, sendo que todas as resenhas do CD foram muito positivas e trouxeram resultados imediatos nas vendas do disco. A banda tocou pelo interior do Rio Grande do Sul e em outubro de 1999 fez um show no legendário Bar Black Jack em São Paulo.
No final de 1999 a banda sofreu nova alteração com a saída do guitarrista Cristiano Wortmann, por diferenças musicais. No seu lugar (após vários testes com outros guitarristas da capital gaúcha), entrou Eduardo Martinez vindo da extinta banda Panic, que durante a década de 90, teve muito importância no cenário Thrash nacional.

O novo CD se chama Inside your Soul e foi gravado em São Paulo no Creative Sound Studio e foi lançado pelas gravadoras Die Hard Records/Rock Brigade Records no início do mês de agosto de 2001.
A novidade para este disco, estão nos elementos sonoros que o novo guitarrista Eduardo Martinez (ex-Panic) trouxe para as novas composições, além da banda estar incluindo alguns arranjos de teclados (compostos e executados) pelo tecladista Fábio Laguna (Victoria) e terá uma trilogia musical (The Massacre), que fala do descobrimento e do processo de colonização do nosso País. No entanto o novo CD é muito mais pesado, rápido e bem trabalhado do que seu antecessor Last Time.

O Hangar também participa do projeto Hamlet – Shakespeare do selo Die Hard de São Paulo, que reúne as principais bandas de Heavy Metal do Brasil interpretando letras do famoso tema em composições inéditas compostas pelas bandas. O CD do Projeto Hamlet está previsto para sair no Brasil durante o segundo semestre 2001.

O baterista da banda (Aquiles Priester), acompanhou ao vivo o Tritone - Projeto paralelo de Frank Solari (Solo), Eduardo Ardanuy (Dr. Sin) e Sérgio Buss (Steve Vai/Solo) e foi convidado para gravar o CD Nomad do ex-vocalista do Iron Maiden – Paul Di'Anno, que foi lançado em maio de 2000 seguido de uma tour nacional, onde o Hangar fez a abertura do show de Porto Alegre obtendo uma grande receptividade do público presente.

A maior novidade para a banda aconteceu em março de 2001, quando Aquiles Priester foi confirmado como novo baterista do Angra (maior representante do Heavy Metal Melódico brasileiro no mundo).

Inside Your Soul
Wortmann, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

We are the evil in disguise
Maybe all we want is everything

You try to stay awake

We are living in your mind
We are commanding your life

You try to stay awake

In your cold dreams
You are alone
Then you lie, you cry,
You taste

Lost in this place, you don't have control
We can live inside your soul
Lost in this place, you don't have control
We can live inside your soul

Our dark blood runs in your veins
And your body burns in hell

You try to stay awake

In your cold dreams
You are alone
Then you lie, you cry
You taste

Lost in this place, you don't have control
We can live inside your soul
Lost in this place, you don't have control
We can live inside your soul

The Massacre Trilogy
Part I: Sailing The Sea of Sorrow

Martinez, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

Oh Lord, no sign to relief
Of this agony inside
Such a pain is not fair
How long shall it last

Sailing the sea of sorrow

Beyond this point
There's no turning back
No time to repent
No time to regreat

Sailing the sea of sorrow

My soul is bleeding
A sea of sorrow
In the middle of nothing
Seeking tomorrow
Darkness surrounding
This bloody expedition

Sailing the sea of sorrow

How can I finish
An impossible mission?
A sea of sorrow
Embraces the fleet
The stars above us
And hell underneath

Sailing the sea of sorrow
Sailing the sea of sorrow

Navigating on the sea of sorrow
Under the moonlight
Fear is your only friend
Vastness just your eyes can see

Part II: To Tame a Land
Martinez, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

How long shall we fight
to tame a land?
How much blood is needed
From the lives spent?

Thunder and lightning
Flashes of metal
Forces uprising
In the heat of the battle

Violence and force
Weapons and power
Armored corps
Fearless marching forward

Surrender or die
The crown must prevail
Surrender or die
The King shall be hailed

How long shall we fight
to tame a land?
How much blood is needed
From the lives spent?

Blood on the sand
Screams in the air
We conquer the land
You watch it in despair

Life or death
People are dying
Walking to hell
Burning in the fire

Surrender or die
The crown must prevail
Surrender or die
The King shall be hailed

How long shall we fight
to tame a land?
How much blood is needed
From the lives spent?

Part III: Five Hundred's Enough
Martinez, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

Sail, white man
Rape, European
Come, bastards
To steal us all

In the name of God
Rise the swords of Christ
And smash every little worm
That cries for freedom

On your knees, Indians
The old world Barbarian
Is here to reign

You must kiss the cross
Raise churches of gold
Give diamonds for mirrors

Be blessed the righteous
Who served those chosen ones
God wants you all
To save the Crown of Portugal

In the name of God
They've killed millions
And smashed every little worm
That cried for freedom

On your knees, Indians
The old world Barbarian
Is here to reign

You must kiss the cross
Raise churches of gold
Give diamonds for mirrors

Five hundred's enough

Savior
Zukauska, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

I hear voices in my head
I will see the flame
You will see the flame
Savior is my name

Behind the power of my eyes
Is the escape
You never know who is coming
Create your face

While you think about the past
The world doesn't change
Your life is now in my hand
Give me your plan

Sometimes I think about solutions
But the problems of the world I can't change

I don't know what to do
To stop the visions
That disturb my thoughts

I feel sick, I feel so tired

Because I'm lost in my doubt
What do you think about me?

Because Savior is my name
Is my name...
Because Savior is my name
Is my name...

The Vision
Laguna

Instrumental

Legions of Fate
Wortmann, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

It's the year two thousand and ninety
Beyond the stars
There are so bad creatures living
Creatures from the dark

Then I had a vision, maybe
Devastation comes down
And Earth needs some hope
Aliens coming to fight

Legions of fate
Go to the battle

Forces arise, destroying
The aliens from the stars

They walk among us now
And you don't see
They stole our strength, you can't feel
We fell in disgrace

Something has to be done
Before it's too late
And Earth needs some hope
Aliens coming to fight

Legions of fate
Go to the battle

Forces arise, destroying
The aliens from the stars

Many years ago there was
A people that was guided
By a serpent strong and clever
Running its way of fire

She dominated the knowledge
To fight creatures of the dark
Help us now
Life goes on...

Forces arise, destroying
The aliens from the stars

Living in Trouble - Part I
Martinez, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

Inside your home
Nobody stands you
No work, no school
You'll be a homeless soon

Get a job
I don't need a boss
Cut that hair
Fuck you, I don't care

You go up in smoke
Fucking the maid mad
Locked in the bedroom
Banging until death

Get a job
I don't need a boss
Cut that hair
Fuck you, I don't care

Living in trouble - That's my vocation
Living in trouble - It's no religion
Living in trouble - That's my vocation
Living in trouble - Fuck you, that's my life

Living in Trouble - Part II
Martinez, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

At night on the streets
Looking for some trouble
No money, no way
Who am I? I don't know

Get a job
I don't need a boss
Cut that hair
Fuck you, I don't care

Living in trouble - That's my vocation
Living in trouble - It's no religion
Living in trouble - That's my vocation
Living in trouble - Fuck you, that's my life

No Command
Martinez, Priester, Polchowicz, Mello

RD 35, Black Widow, the bitch
No overhead commands
Just engine, no breaks
The gas going like beer
No junk yard wants it
It will take us to hell

No command, the engine turns
No command, the black widow runs

My choice is "two strokes engine"
Turns more and it's smelly
I go as fast as I can
Making noise like hell

No command, the engine turns
No command, the black widow runs

In the winter, the engine freezes
In the bottle the wine heats my mind
I take it all, I need fuel to ride
No, I can ride the wheels of fate

No command, the engine turns
No command, the black widow runs

Zeno went forward
But no one could see
In the crossroads at one hundred miles
Just time for a last repentance

No command, the engine turns
No command, the black widow runs

Without helmet - with the head on the road
The brain - all over the place
Standing still - without a tear or a smile
Totally smashed - Half a grave is enough

RD 35, Black Widow, the bitch
No overhead commands
Just engine, no breaks
The gas going like beer
No junk yard wants it
It will take us to hell

Falling In Disgrace
Zukauska, Priester, Martinez, Polchowicz, Mello

Your brain fries
When you hear my voice
My words are burning
Burning inside your heart

You don't believe in me
Because I say the truth
In your eyes I see the hope
Fighting to escape

You are a blind man
You don't see the world
Look at your side
Tell me what you see

You see your soul crying
Your hands are tied
Your head feels the pain
Inside your conscience

Falling in disgrace

Your time's ending
What are you gonna do,
Before it's too late?
It's too late to your sanity

I hear the conflict
Inside your mind
I can feel your spirit
Screaming now

Falling in disgrace

You're gonna lose your soul
Why don't you make your choice

Falling in disgrace
Falling in disgrace
Falling

[the secrets of the sea>
intro

[like a wind in the sky>
Oh god
Give me the power
To fight with doubt
That rounds my mind

Tell me what should I do
To understand
The suffering of the spirit
In this imperfect body

Show me the way
I must follow
To reach the sky
And save my soul

When I close my eyes
When the silence prevail
I may see the light
And send my sorrow away

My soul can fly
Like a wind in the sky

[voices>
Voices inside me
Try to confuse me
Turning difficult my choices
But I have to fight to find

So many ways to follow
So many places to go
And always face the empty
The truth doesn't change

The voices begin to cry
The voices begin to scream
And try to exorcise

[absinth>
The prophecy has just begun
And the time is vanishing

The time of the blue of the sky rips
It's coming to make the way
To the star of the death

Absinth star of the death
Absinth star of the death

And the nature keeps following
Forced by the evil that exists

[last time>
Stars fallen from the sky
Down in the hell before the die
Take your gun and come to fight
Reading the book and waiting the night

Faces come and go
I feel disgrace begin to cry
But the truth will never die
And never change alone in my mind

Darkness coming
You can't hide
Pray now
And wait the night

Look at the mirror
Look at the sky
It's sign of the
Last Time

[angel of the stereo>
The time is passing by
Your breathing slowly
Open your eyes and feel your heart

Flying the sky tonight
Follow your spirit
Open your mind and feel your soul

Waiting the messenger of heaven
Look at the sky and see the angel
Waiting the messenger of heaven
Look at the sky and see the angel

Angel of the stereo
Angel of the stereo

Open your mind - flying so high
Open your heart - feel the sky
Open your eyes - see the light
Take the hand of the angel and go

[speed limit 55>
Rounding the world
In the speed of imagination
I see roads passing by
And I feel a great sensation

Be careful
Pay attention
Look the advice
Speed limit 55

Feel the wind in your face
This is a great fascination
See it get faster
Like the rising acceleration

Be careful
Pay attention
Look the advice
Speed limit 55

[lost dream>
