Shaman combines an electrifying blend of heavy metal with symphonic and folk music influences, creating a signature sound that resonates with fans across the globe. With Confessori's heavy-hitting drums, Mariutti's powerful bass lines, and Matos' soaring vocals and keyboards that characterized their earlier work, they quickly gained recognition with their debut album "Ritual" in 2002.
Despite several lineup changes and the tragic loss of André Matos in 2019, Shaman has continued to produce evocative music, signified by their more recent releases such as "Brand New Me" and "Origins". They are known for their captivating live performances, as captured on tracks like "Brand New Me (Live In São Paulo) [Ao Vivo]" and "More (Live)".
