16.JAN.2009 – NANDO FERNANDES LEAVES HANGAR
According to an official note written by Nando Fernandes, he is not a member of Hangar since January 11th.

Below is the official note from the band:

“Dear Friends

The last two years were a period of intense activity for Hangar. Even in a stagnated market, we released a record that was highly praised by public opinion, we did dozens of shows all over Brazil, we recorded a DVD, we got lots of good reviews from the specialized media, we got great confidence by many companies and, more important, we received respect and unmeasurable support from our fans. Because of all that, we believe that our role as musicians, artists and public people have been very well done. Everything we conquered required a lot of effort, perseverence and sacrifice. Therefore, any one of us has the right to ask: where do we want to get with that?

Diversity is a great alliance to the evolution of ideas, since we are not made in series. And democracy always bumps on the limitations of the environment or in the life experience of everyone of us, what makes incompatibility something natural inside a group. For questions of this nature, there are only two options: either the more antagonic side/person adapts to the group and agrees with the dominant opinion or the group has to let this person leave, in a spontaneous way or not.

We have never asked to anyone to leave Hangar. The departure of a member is always a very turbulent moment for a band, but, luckily, our former members have always known the moment to ask us to leave the band, because somehow, they were sensible enough to realize they weren’t coherent with the objectives and expectations of the band. The same happened with Nando Fernandes. We have been trying for two years to bring him inside the work politics of the group, that exists for 11 years. The rest four members are the biggest witnesses of all that Hangar has been through along this long journey to receive some dignifying recognition, even far from satisfactory, specially on a financial point of view.

We know that for many people, we are much more than a mere heavy metal band and that’s why we are sure that we will keep pursuing our dreams.

So it’s with sadness that we inform officially that vocalist Nando Fernandes is no longer a member of Hangar since January 11th 2009, according to an e-mail sent to the remaining members of the band and to a note published on his blog, both on the same day (see below).

We sincerely apologize for the band not having sent an statement right after that note was published. The reason is, that even being aware that nothing lasts forever and no one is unreplaceable, we were also caught by surprise with that news, as well as all others that follow our work.

Above all, we would like to thank all our fans and friends for respecting us in this difficult but passing moment. We will follow with our plans and activities for 2009. The release of our first DVD and the recording and release of our new album will happen in May, according to the request made by our record company in Europe, Wacken Records. This new work will finally result in our first european tour, as an opening act for another artist from our booking agency, ICS.

Therefore, to continue our work, we are urgently selecting candidates to be the new vocalist of our band, and all those interested can send us some material to contact@hangar.mus.br.

We would like take this opportunity to thank Nando, who greatly contributed to Hangar’s success in the last two years. Under our perspective, we are sure that his decision to leave the band will not affect all the things we have built together. May God keeps lightning all Nando’s ways and we wish that he continues to pursue his dreams, either on stage, in the theater or in the classrooms.

Fábio Laguna, Aquiles Priester, Eduardo Martinez e Nando Mello
BANDA HANGAR"

------------------------

The note below was published on Nando Fernandes’ blog on January 11th, 2009:

“Official anouncement for friends and fans of the band Hangar...

I would like to personally communicate to friends and fans that, starting today, I’m not a part of the band Hangar anymore. There is a big relationship incompatibility between me and some other members of the band, making my permanence impossible. I would like to deeply and truely thank all the people who have been suporting the band and me during the years I was the vocalist of Hangar. I’m sure we will follow different ways from now on, but I wish good luck to the remaining members and I want to say that I’m very thankful for everything and I’m very proud for everything we have accomplished together.”

I HAVE THE CONVICTION THAT I WAS THE BEGGINNING TOO

04.JUN.2008 - REVIEW AT METAL HAMMER GERMANY
Metal Hammer 06/08 Progressive Metal Release date 23.5.

The lyrical concept of THE REASON OF YOUR CONVICTION in a nutshell: As a few colleagues before, also the Brazilians let a serial killer do what he does best. Even musically this 3rd album became almost a killer album. Besides the excellent musicianship and album production all songs have catchy lines. "Call Me In The Name Of Death", "Everlasting Is The Salvation" and "One More Chance" would certainly belong to the best songs on the current albums from Evergrey or Symphony X, no doubt, these bands are their idols. Complex song material with sometimes surprisingly results. Fans of progressive Power Metal will certainly love this album.

31.JAN.2008 -Hangar and Dream Theater in Brazil
Progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER have issued the following update regarding their recent announcement that they were looking for an opening act for their shows in South America:

"Well, the response was simply overwhelming...within the first few days, we had over 500 entries! Although the initial rule was that only the first 20 bands from each country was eligible, in some cases up to 50 bands from each country were considered before making a decision.

"There were many factors involved in choosing the bands: First and foremost was the music (in itself having many variables), but other deciding factors included having previous live experience, professionalism and presentation based on their website or myspace page, and even their taste in music represented by their list of influences or top friends (which helped indicate the type of audience they were trying to reach with their music)...

"We wish the best of luck to all the bands that submitted entries and just because you weren't picked doesn't mean you weren't the best or most qualified...(perhaps your entry simply arrived 1 hour later than the last cutoff band)....so keep at it so we can open for you in 20 years!"

Here are the lucky winners that will be sharing the stage with DREAM THEATER throughout South America:

Mar 01 - Santiago, Chile - Pista Atletica: DELTA
Mar 03 - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Luna Park Stadium: SACRUM
Mar 04 - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Luna Park Stadium: FUGHU
Mar 07 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Citibank Hall: KHALLICE
