In November 2001, singer Sarah Jezebel Deva (Cradle Of Filth, Therion, Mortiis etc), and composer Chris Rehn (Abyssos) met on a mutual tour. They soon became good friends and discovered both had the same ideas about working with a completely orchestral project, which led them to Angtoria. Chris composed the songs and Sarah wrote the lyrics and in November 2002 they recorded a 5 track demo at Virtual Symphony.
They sent out this demo to record labels, and interest for the new formed band grew quickly resulting in several top rated reviews, awards and interviews for magazines all over the world.
In November 2005 they started recording their debut album entitled "God Has a Plan for Us All" . After recording with several guests, the album was released at the end of April 2006 on Listenable Records.
Angtoria was forced to change their name due to reasons beyond their control. Writing for the new album will start in January 2012.
In 2020 on Sarah Jezebel Deva's official FB music page stated that Angtoria will now continue writing music under a different name. Sarah and Chris have parted ways with Tommy Rehn and because he came up with the band name, they can no longer use it. For that matter, their website has also been suspended.
That's What the Wise Lady Said
Angtoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you ever dreamed
Move on, no regrets
Try to be the absolute best
Stand on your own
You can make it, be someone
Win the war in your head
There'll be times, when you can't face
The weary lights of day
But be strong & believe
You can be anything you wish to be
Don´t let your fears, hold you back
Life isn´t meant, to be easy
Find justice for what you lack
Time will heal the scar
Be proud of who you are
Taste the phantasies that you dread
Thats what the wise lady said!
I came from nothing here I am
I won the war in my head!

@Barnestormer211 ...I'm so glad you qualified your opinion on the title track otherwise I would have let you have it. "God has a plan for us all" is excellent musically. I suppose the Catholic priest and kid thing is a bit over the top. Still an entertaining song. Provides interested viewing for the video however.
