Angtoria,一支新的多国组合交响金属乐队。成员系出名门,女主唱Sarah Jezebel Deva(污秽摇篮、圣兽、挪威黑暗乐队MORTIIS),作曲Chris Rehn(ABYSSOS)和Tommy Rehn(MOAHNI MOAHNA)。今年推出其首张专辑“God Has A Plan For Us All”。其中很多大名鼎鼎的黑金属,死金,歌金乐队的制作人参与了这张专辑的打造。绝对值得一听。听惯了金属的也许会感觉有些烂俗,主题也是什么原罪死亡等等,不过整张专辑气势恢宏,旋律也不赖,不失为一张成功的作品。

Angtoria is a heavy metal band that was originally conceived as a purely orchestral project by Swedish multi-instrumentalist and composer Chris Rehn and English vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva (aka Sarah Jane Ferridge) and whose extensive résumé already included backup singing with major black metal bands like Cradle of Filth, Mortiis, and Therion. Beginning in late 2001, the pair started composing material and already had a well-received demo in hand by the following year; adding second guitarist (and sibling) Tommy Rehn shortly thereafter, their musical direction clearly shifted toward heavy metal with strong symphonic components. By 2005, the trio felt they were ready to record, so after inking a deal with the Listenable label, they called upon friends and colleagues like bassist Dave Pybus (Cradle of Filth, ex-Anathema) and drummer John Henriksson (My Own Grave) to help flesh out Angtoria's debut album, God Has a Plan for Us All, released in 2006.
