Shaman is a Brazilian power metal band.
Band history
The band was formed in 2000 by former members of the band Angra . The debut album Ritual was released in 2002, and the live CD RituaLive a year later . Because of name disputes, the second album Reason was released as Shaaman . The band broke up in October 2006, but the drummer Ricardo Confessori found a new line-up. The new singer was Thiago Bianchi, who had previously accompanied Shaman on tour with his band Karma as the opening act. Again under the name Shaman , the third album Immortal was released in August 2007 . After Shaman was quiet in 2013, Confessori officially dissolved the band in 2014. The rest of the band wanted to break new ground musically and therefore founded the progressive metal band Noturnall at the same time , which can be seen as a follow-up project. On June 29, 2018, Shaman announced their reunion with the original cast and also announced a new nationwide tour. On June 6, 2019, singer Andre Matos died after a heart attack, which is why the remaining tour dates had to be canceled. On September 18, 2019, the group introduced their new singer Alírio Netto (Age of Artemis, Queen Extravaganza).
