We proudly present our 2018 roster!

I had managed to outrun it this long, but unfortunately Covid finally caught up with me. Thankfully, symptoms are manageable. I had a pretty bad fever yesterday that finally broke, and with that happening most of the vertigo and lightheadedness went with it. I still feel like I have an elephant sitting on my chest and I'm breathing hot fire, and breathing at all is a little difficult. The coughing is also bad. Holy cow the coughing. My throat is really sore, but I figured that's just due to singing along at the top of my lungs for 4 days or whatever. The good news is I'm fully vaccinated and have both of my boosters. Current information states that my symptoms should not be nearly as bad because of that. And for that I'm glad. My symptoms are pretty bad, not going to lie. I feel awful. I can't imagine what this would have been like if I only had the vaccine or was not vaccinated at all. From what I've heard from other friends who contracted it after being vaxxed and double boosted, their symptoms hit all at once, much like mine did, but the good news is they felt better after about 4 days or so. So if yesterday was my first day, that means hopefully by the weekend I'll feel good again. To tell you the truth, I'm fairly pleased that I had managed to avoid it for this long. When The pandemic started and everything shut down, I was still running my truck everyday and meeting with lots of different people all across the United States. I had flown to Florida to go to Disneyland. I had gone to multiple shows once they started coming back. I never stopped working. I also flew to Mexico to have my bariatric surgery. And even though I wasn't selling to the public, I still came in contact with so many people on the Judas Priest/Sabaton tour. So I guess it was just a matter of time before it caught up with me. Please continue to wear your mask and wash your hands diligently. Please get whatever available vaccines and boosters you can. And if you've been in a crowd of people, get tested. Everyone stay safe. I love all of you and I want you to be around for a long time. 💜 #covid #covidpositive #progpower #progpowerxxi (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ced8-iZLj6UDklpjBPZwGJaVS_oQ-rYtEfCYZQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Angra live in Atlanta, USA, 2018.

I am very tired, very sore, and VERY happy. Can't wait to do it all over again next year!

Awesome old school power metal band, and their CDs are damn near impossible to find (or fucking expensive!) Their whole album is up on YouTube and I highly recommend it. Shoot me a message if you can’t find it and I’ll be happy to provide the link 🤘🤘 #powermetal #cauldronborn #oldschoolmetal #progpower #progmetal #progressivemetal #bornofthecauldron (at Nashville, Tennessee)

I have had a WILD FUCKING NIGHT, you guys I spent the past two days at ProgPower, a badass local metal festival, having a great time with good friends and good music The second band of the day today was a phenomenal power metal band called Dynazty which I was very excited for, and somehow I got lucky enough to catch a guitar pick they threw out into the crowd And earlier in the day, my big brother convinced me to enter a guitar raffle, essentially just so he could have a few extra chances to win it. Imagine my surprise when he called me that evening hurriedly demanding I go to the merch room...and he was not shitting me. I'm still freaking out and processing it, but I am now the proud and somewhat bewildered owner of an extremely special $600 guitar! It belonged to the guitarist of the progressive metal band Vanden Plas (who autographed it) and it is the second prototype of its model, made as a replacement for the first one that got crushed beyond repair at an airport. I'm extremely honored to own this, and I hope I can give it the care it deserves! With the combined blessings of Dynazty and Vanden Plas, perhaps I can learn to play this like it deserves to be played! Maybe I'll join a metal band in 10 or 20 years
