發行專輯
他們的處女專輯God Has a Plan For Us All於2006年4月發行。很多大名鼎鼎的黑金屬,死金,歌金樂隊的製作人參與了這張專輯的打造。絕對值得一聽。聽慣了金屬的也許會感覺有些爛俗,主題也是什麼原罪死亡等等,不過整張專輯氣勢恢宏,旋律也不賴,不失為一張成功的作品。
這張專輯被各國際媒體評價甚高,它的特別版在發行日不久後很快賣光,(全球限量 3,000 張).
這張專輯絕對是金屬迷們2006年的最大福音,聽過以後你們會明白的!希望大家喜歡!以下是這張專輯的英文介紹:
ANGTORIA, the new Swedish/British orchestral/metal band formed by female singer Sarah Jezebel Deva (CRADLE OF FILTH, THERION, MORTIIS), composer Chris Rehn (ABYSSOS) and Tommy Rehn (MOAHNI MOAHNA), have set the tentative track listing for their debut album, "God Has A Plan For Us All", due on April 24 via Listenable Records. The mixing process for the album began on January 14, with acclaimed producer Daniel Bergstrand (IN FLAMES, SOILWORK, MESHUGGAH, DEVIN TOWNSEND, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, BEHEMOTH) stepping in during the initial phase, with Tommy and Chris scheduled to complete the mix at Sidelake studios with Micke Öhlén. The mastering will be completed February 14 at the Cutting Room in Stockholm by Björn Engelmann, who has previously worked with RAMMSTEIN, IN FLAMES, SOILWORK, DIMMU BORGIR and WITHIN TEMPTATION, among others.
As previously reported, "God Has A Plan For Us All" will feature guest appearances by CRADLE OF FILTH bassist Dave Pybus and MY DYING BRIDE frontman Aaron Stainthorpe. Other guests on the album include Tony Könberg, a male singer/musician from Sundsvall, Sweden, who "helped out with some choir parts," according to Sarah. "He has been part of several local bands for 20 years and is also a theater and musical performer. We used him on the 'Torn Between Two Worlds' demo as well. He has an amazing low choir voice and this time just couldn't do without him! Also Richard Andersson, who has been labeled the 'fastest keyboard player in the world,' has participated on our album by laying down a keyboard solo on one of our songs! I had never heard anything like it in my life! A keyboard solo??? He is in strong demand and has a huge fan base of his own! He is known for bands like MAJESTIC, TIME REQUIEM and SPACE ODYSSEY."
