HANGAR
Last Time Was Just the Beginning... (Dynamo Records)

Now a very famous band in Brazil after the great public response to their latest album, The Reason of Your Conviction, heavy metal act HANGAR gave its first steps in 1997, when drummer Aquiles Priester invited his friends Michael Polchowicz (vocals), Cristiano Wortmann (guitar) and Felipe Trein (bass) to play some metal classics. Two years later, the band released their debut CD, Last Time – at that time, Trein had already left the band and Wortmann was resposible for recording the bass lines.

Since then, many things happened to HANGAR. Some of them that are now left behind were in that first album, an independent release that was quickly sold out and was never put back again in the market. However, this injustice is now being corrected as the album is being released by Dynamo Records, with some new features. First of all, the audio was entirely remasterized by Heros Trench, from Mr. Som Studio. The CD now has two bonus tracks: a new version of “Angel of The Stereo”, recorded in 2006 (this song is part of the original record) and a version of “Ask the Lonely”, from Journey. Besides that, the album contains a DVD with the band’s history and an interview with the musicians. Not by coincidence, the album received a new name, "Last Time Was Just the Beginning…"

It’s likely that most of the attention will be directed to the DVD, starting with the documentary, which is actually a bunch of images recorded by the musicians from 1997 to 2006 (when Michael left the band). Although the images are not of high quality at some moments, thanks to a good edition work, it’s possible to have a good overview of not only how the band behaves on stage, but also how the musicians relate to each other off the stage. Thus, there are massive amounts of hilarious scenes including some bizarre things protagonized by guitarist Eduardo Martinez.

In nine years, between the release of the band’s first CD and now, Hangar has recorded two albums, changed most of its line up (only Aquiles remains from the group that recorded the album Last Time), made unforgettable concerts around the vast Brazilian territory and, thanks to a lot of talent and mainly to hard work, the band has conquered a place of honour in the national heavy metal scene. It is exactly like the album’s new name: that was just the beginning…

LIKE A WIND IN THE SKY / COMO UM VENTO NO CÉU
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 prevails I may see the light And send my sorrow away My soul can fly Like a wind in the sky	Oh Deus Dai-me o poder Para lutar contra a dúvida Que ronda minha mente Diga-me o que devo fazer Para compreender O sofrimento do espírito Neste corpo imperfeito Mostre-me o caminho (que) Eu devo seguir Para alcançar o céu E salvar minha alma Quando eu fechar meus olhos Quando o silêncio prevalecer Eu posso ver a luz E mandar meu arrependimento para longe Minha alma pode voar Como um vento no céu
VOICES / VOZES
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	Vozes dentro de mim Tentam confundir-me Tornando difíceis as minhas escolhas Mas eu tenho que lutar para encontrar Tantos caminhos a seguir Tantos lugares para ir E sempre encarando o vazio A verdade não muda As vozes começam a chorar As vozes começam a gritar E tentam exorcizar
ABSINTH / ABSINTO
The prophecy has just began 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	A profecia apenas começou E o tempo está desaparecendo A época do azul dos rasgos do céu Está vindo para fazer o caminho À estrela da morte Absinto - estrela da morte Absinto - estrela da morte E a natureza mantém-se seguindo Forçada pelo mal que existe
LAST TIME / ÚLTIMA VEZ
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	Estrelas caídas do céu Para baixo no inferno antes de morrer Pegue sua arma e venha lutar Lendo o livro e a esperando a noite Rostos vêm e vão Eu sinto a desgraça e começo a gritar Mas a verdade nunca morrerá E nunca mudará sozinha em minha mente A escuridão se aproxima Você não pode se esconder Reze agora E espere a noite Olhe para o espelho Olhe para o céu É sinal da Última vez
ANGEL OF THE STEREO / ANJO DO ESTÉREO
The time is passing by You’re 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	O tempo está passando Você está respirando lentamente Abra seus olhos e sinta seu coração Voando no céu hoje à noite Seguindo seu espírito Abra sua mente e sinta sua alma Esperando o mensageiro do paraíso Olhe para o céu e veja o anjo Esperando o mensageiro do paraíso Olhe para o céu e veja o anjo Anjo do estéreo Anjo do estéreo Abra sua mente – voando alto Abra seu coração – sinta o céu Abra seus olhos – veja a luz Pegue a mão do anjo e vá
SPEED LIMIT 55 / LIMITE DE VELOCIDADE 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 at 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	Rodando o mundo Na velocidade da imaginação Eu vejo estradas passando E eu sinto uma grande sensação Tenha cuidado Preste atenção Olhe a placa Limite de velocidade 55 Sinta o vento em seu rosto Este é um grande fascínio Veja-o acelerando Como a aceleração levantando-se Tenha cuidado Preste atenção Olhe a placa Limite de velocidade 55
