ANGRA - Gods Of The World (Official Music Video)

Taken off the album "Cycles Of Pain" (November 3rd, 2023)

Guitarist Rafel Bittencourt:
"This video is a reflection about who we are really following as leaders and who we are unconsciously worshipping with our acts. People might believe that they worship God and follow specific values, but in reality they have other priorities such as work, social position, food, social media, pleasure etc. Our highest values play a very small part in the way we behave. Most of us in contemporary society are addicted to being connected to the internet, networks, and social media. An illness that has become normal. It all starts with the fact that most of our work and survival depends on it, and ends on the sense of emptiness and anxiety when our phones are off. That makes us all very passive to the influence of all sorts of truths being bombarded simultaneously through what we follow. While our brains are numb and receptive, we're commanded by external, also contradictory references. So the gods that rule the world nowadays are the chaos within our own habits, and we're confused searching for vain experiences to fulfill our lonely and empty souls."

Lyrics:
GODS OF THE WORLD

You know we're not the same
No matter who's to blame
We're dreaming of a better world
Time for the human race
Don't give up in disgrace
Give meaning to your words

Words are lies
You know how well the story goes
They blind, blind your eyes
You fall in with the darkest minds

Gods of the world

You have to realize
Old heroes in disguise
No one is perfect in this world
They force us to divide
And all the cards they hide
So they have full control

Words are lies
You know how well the story goes
They blind, blind your eyes
You fall in with the darkest minds

Gods of the world
Control us all
They play your fortune in a game of rise and fall
And every minute
They call the shots
Marionettes under the strings of the gods
Gods of the world
Gods of the world

Words are crimes
The enemy's been idolized
Blind, blind your eyes
Sustaining all the darkest minds

Gods of the world
Control us all
They play your fortune in a game of rise and fall
And every minute
They call the shots
Marionettes under the strings of the gods
Gods of the world
Gods of the world
Gods of the world

Grande momento do Angra. Obrigado a todos que contribuem para isso! ❤

[MarceloBarbosagtr]

Speed em 7 só pra soltar a musculatura. ❤ 🔥

[rodrigo_pel]

Eu lembro de uma época que o rock era sobre isso: esfregar a verdade na cara da sociedade, se rebelar contra aquilo que está errado, alertar para sairmos do modo de vida zumbificado, e muito por conta disso os roqueiros eram mal vistos. Acertou na veia no clipe e na música, trabalho muito maduro.

[Dino.Zazzooo]

Tenho a impressão que nesse álbum essa formação amadureceu. A princípio o álbum está mais direto, sem fírulas e já começa de forma brutal. Essas músicas também privilegiam o timbre do Lione. O material parece ser bem superior aos álbuns anteriores. Sucesso.

[assuncaocruz]

3 singles lançados e nenhum decepcionou
Certeza que será o melhor álbum dessa formação até o momento
Viva o Angra!

[marcoantoniozanatta]

The best song since Temple of Shadows.
The lyrics+clips are giving me chills and making me cry. Very powerful.
I'm so proud of this band being of my own country.

[rodrigogutierrezleao]

Uma coisa ninguém pode reclamar... as letras das músicas deste album estão matadoras e acho excelente.... coisas de fantasia é pra adolescentes
As músicas também estão bem maduras.

[edsylar]

La mejor banda de Power Metal Progresivo de nuestro continente Americano!! UFf brutales sus últimos temas.! 🔥🔥🤘 Muito Obrigado Angra!

[nelsonramosjunior]

Temática atual. Parabéns Angra por se mostrar consciente das mazelas do mundo.

[diamniko]

This third single will be a modern classic. Hope the new album bring Angra back to the big stages again, where they belong. Greetings form Greece!

[caroldusan]

THIS IS SO
so lucky to be part of such a special video

[WishowMetal]

That final quote at the end of the video is part of the "No pain for the dead" lyrics (Temple of Hate album)

[rpsdark]

Os antigos vão me odiar, mas esse álbum tem tudo pra ficar entre os melhores, os singles que lançaram até agora estão incríveis

[despeguemusical]

🔥What a great SONG, great STORYTELLING, great VIDEO and great TIMING. 👏🏼Proving, once again, that music can change the world and do its part to bring down the "gods of the world."

This is why Angra is my favorite band since +18 years ago!!!

[RafaelFreitash]

Angra deu um grande salto na qualidade dos videoclipes, finalmente. Ansioso pra ouvir o álbum na íntegra.

[zanzox]

This album rocks! 3 songs published, 3 masterpieces!

[Bueno]

Tenho realmente q dar o braço a torcer. Esse album entrou em um dos melhores.

[robsonlaw]

Não me lembro de outra banda que tenha chegado no seu auge com mais de 30 anos de carreira. O que estou ouvindo é mágica em forma de música.

[geografiamoderna-prof.thia]

Bom ver as guitarras se destacando novamente em uma música do Angra. PARABÉNS!

[matvocals]

Aaaaa VELHO!!! ANGRA ESTÁ MAGNÍFICO!!! Não tem outra palavra para descrever!! E coisa boa ouvir um METAL onde o baixo aparece bem mixado!!! Vida Longa ao ANGRA!
