Former Viper singer Andre Matos, guitarists Rafael Bittencourt and André Linhares, and music entrepreneur Antônio “Toninho” Pirani founded Angra in November 1991. Bassist André Lichewitz, who was soon replaced by Luis Mariutti, and drummer Marco Antunes, a longtime bandmate of Bittencourt’s, joined the trio. In the early days of the band, Bittencourt and Matos were the main songwriters. Linhares departed the band early in 1992, and André Hernandes took his position. Hernandes left the band the same year, and Kiko Loureiro took his place. “Reaching Horizons”, Angra‘s debut demo recording, was recorded with Loureiro on the lineup and published by the German label Limb Music in 1993.
