Angra's guitarist, Kiko Loureiro, has two amazing solo instrumental albums, one in a metal/fusion style, the other jazz. If you are into good guitar playing, check them out.

 

[Liquid Tension]

Suspyre
Circus Maximus

 

[Kenneth R.]

Zero Hour.

 

[ElvenShadow]

Enchant

 

[Marwen]

Derek Sherinian <--- AWESOME!
Greg Howe
Andromeda

Gee, this sounds great!

Thanks, I'll put them on my 'to buy' list.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Ayreon
Andromeda
Star One
Erik Norlander
Wuthering Heights
Jeff Loomis (his solo album is fuckin' great)

You could also check out bands in the more extreme spectrum of music. Symphonic melodic death/black metal bands:

Skyfire
Kalmah
Dominia
Profanum
Veneficium

 

[batera]

Also, if you like Angra, check out Shaman/Shaaman, the band formed by the ex-members after the split back in 2000-ish. It is now defunct, but they put out two cool albums and a nice DVD. A bit more simple and heavy than Angra, but an interesting blend of power metal and Brazilian influences.



(^ Disregard the anime video obviously...)



Brazilian crowds look wild.
