Bio:

Formed in 2000, Brazil's Shaman deal in power metal that's aggressive, epic, and dramatic thanks to strong classical music and '80s metal influences. The band began when drummer and lifelong fan Ricardo Confessori left São Paulo's popular metal outfit . Two other members -- vocalist and bassist Luis Mariutti -- followed the drummer, and when Luis' brother Hugo Mariutti joined they had their guitarist. After testing the band on the road with a tour of Europe and Latin America, they landed in Germany and began recording their debut with producer Sascha Paeth, a familiar face from the days with . Finished and released in 2002, their album Ritual had them traveling the globe for the next year and a half supporting the release with their intense live show. In 2004 they documented a São Paulo show on the CD and DVD Ritual Live. The 2005 album Reason found them back with Paeth and back on the road again, but this time under the name Shaaman thanks to some confusion and legal problems with the Finnish metal band Shaman. When they returned home the problems continued when Confessori was left alone, as the Mariutti brothers began working with the band Henceforth along with helping launch a solo career. Vocalist , guitarist Léo Mancini, and bassist Fernando Quesada formed the new Shaman, who had now returned to their original spelling before beginning work on their third studio album. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi

Album:

Before listening to "Rescue", it's important to keep in mind that Shaman, today, is a different band. And it is no demerit to the musicians who remained in the group after the death of the late vocalist Andre Matos in 2019. It is practically impossible to replace someone of such a defined artistic identity as the "Maestro", who was also a composer and pianist, without changing a bit of the premise and sound of the project.It is worth remembering that this is not the first time that Andre's place has been taken by another musician in a band - although, obviously, the reasons have been different in other situations. In 2000, Matos left Angra together with bassist Luís Mariutti and drummer Ricardo Confessori in an initiative which gave birth to Shaman itself, with the addition of guitarist Hugo Mariutti and keyboardist Fabio Ribeiro. In 2006, the "Maestro" left the relatively new project and took Luis and Hugo with him to work on a solo career.Andi Deris remembers Andre Matos and his participation on Shaman?s DVD In both cases, Andre had his place occupied by other singers: Edu Falaschi, in Angra, and Thiago Bianchi, in Shaman. And in both cases the sound needed to be adjusted, with emphasis on Falaschi, who gave, along with other colleagues, a new face to the band in which he participated between 2000 and 2012.The situation now is not much different. Alírio Netto is a vocalist of proven competence in various projects - from Age of Artemis to Queen Extravaganza, through a solo career and everything else -, however, caught one of the most complicated gigs of his career to occupy the spot left by Andre. He seems to know that. So, although he respects the legacy left by his predecessor (and idol), the singer does not seem willing to sound like a cover. The remaining singers don't want that either.Just as well. The renewal posture adopted in "Rescue" has enhanced the final result. Who listens with an open mind, without "automatic" comparisons, will be surprised, either by individual performances, collective chemistry, paths chosen in the compositions or the always neat production of Sascha Paeth, repeating the partnership in "Ritual" (2002) and "Reason" (2005), the first two Shaman albums.The link with the past obviously exists - not least because four of the group's five classic members are still there. The ever-present Helloween influence is noticeable, for example, in the genuinely power "Time is Running Out" and in "The Spirit", whose keyboard solo is one of the highlights. The ballad "Don't Let It Rain", with a great performance by Alírio, presents elements of the so called world music typical of "Ritual", as well as the slowed down "Brand New Me", the first single of the album. The Boundaries of Heaven", which surprises when the rhythm is reduced in its core, could be on the tracklist of "Reason" without problems.But it is when there is a search for the new that the best moments of the album come out. One of the examples is "The 'I' Inside", which mixes the typical grooves of "Ritual" with new elements, including some drama that seems to come from the actor Alírio. "Where Are You Now", in turn, brings a contemporary approach that makes it almost a melodic hard rock. The grandiose "What If", one of my favourites, sounds dense and differentiated for having one foot firmly planted in the progressive. And even if it goes through not so surprising paths, the touching "Gone Too Soon", which pays tribute to Andre and other giants of the music who left us too soon, carries a lot of references to Queen - from the guitar bends to the vocal interpretation.The current line-up itself seems to divide its responsibilities between past and future. Luís Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori's kitchen, with the same competence of past decades, seems to establish the basis of what we know as Shaman. Alírio Netto and Hugo Mariutti incorporate their different backgrounds to the band - the vocalist with his natural transit by strands of hard rock and the guitarist, see, incorporating learnings that seem to have come from his passion for British alternative rock, especially when building good layers of his instrument and showing that incredible solos do not always need to have several notes. The greater presence of Fabio Ribeiro in the work reinforces the search for something different.Shaman and Noturnall's tour would also have Sepultura and Angra, says Thiago Bianchi.Above all, "Rescue" is a new beginning for one of the great heavy metal bands that existed/existed in Brazil. It is a well done work, full of meanings, moments and, above all, emotions. May the "rescue" promoted by the current line-up be the beginning of a long and productive trajectory.
