ANGRA's 'Holy Land' limited RANDOM MARBLE vinyl 2-LP available now!

Published October 4 2026 at 11:44

Metal Department is delighted to be able to announce the release of ANGRA 'Holy Land' 30th Anniversary editions on both CD and deluxe gatefold vinyl 2-LP. The releases will be available in mid-October.

Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, Angra emerged in 1991 under the guidance of guitarist Rafael Bittencourt and vocalist André Matos, rapidly securing a singular position within the heavy metal landscape. 

The group defied standard genre norms by fusing the intricate structures of European power metal with the vibrant pulse of Brazilian percussion, alongside rich orchestral and classical textures. 

Although their initial offering, 'Angels Cry', already showcased this highly innovative approach, it was the 1996 release of 'Holy Land' that served as their true artistic breakthrough.

Frequently cited as the band's defining masterpiece, 'Holy Land' remains a towering achievement in the power metal sphere. 

Now, exactly thirty years after its original release, 'Holy Land' will be re-released, including on vinyl for the very first time. This vinyl release FINALLY fulfills a long-standing request from fans worldwide!

The album has been remastered especially for this re-release and features upgraded packaging:

For the CD version, remastered audio, 6-panel digipak design with extensive booklet featuring previously unreleased photographs, and a 30 x 60 cm poster insert.

For the double vinyl album you get remastered audio, deluxe gatefold-design, printed colour innersleeves and a bonus foldout poster.

Right now you can order the extremely limited RANDOM MARBLE version (300 copies only), exclusively available from the Rock Kommander webstore:
