	Shaman Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ricardo Confessori - In many different studios, and we brought a producer from abroad, so this all propitiated a different vibe when we recorded the songs, we could all be present at each other's work.
		Ricardo Confessori â“ Yes, but let's say that, relatively, it was the same thing when Neil Peart...
		Ricardo Confessori â“ Everyone can be at ease, because everyone will still hear the sound of the double bass drums...

		Ricardo Confessori (São Paulo, Brazil, 1969) started his musical life studying classic piano for 4 years and then gave-up...
		Today, though, we can tell time was not his enemy, as he is one of the greatest drummers on the scene, being acclaimed by many musicians and specialized magazines of music and instruments.
		Confessori was not the first drummer in Angra.

		28-year-old Ricardo Confessori was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to parents of Italian descent.
		Confessori had actually started out playing guitar, but when he and a friend formed their first band in 1984, the friend could not play the drums at home because of the noise.
		Ricardo has been able to develop his style into new musical directions within the context of this uniquely talented band.

	Progressive Ears Album Reviews
		He called to the Earth, and from the earth was the foundation on which he stood since the beginning, with bassist Luis Mariutti and drummer Ricardo Confessori.
		A catchy mid tempo symphonic speed metal anthem as it is, the mid section of this song is breathtaking.
		Ricardo lays down a powerful rhythm on the double bass drums, and creates a tenseness with his stick work working the snare and toms alternately.

	Metal-Rules.com: Concert Reviews - Shaman
		The frontman Andre Matos, bassist Luis Mariutti, drummer Ricardo Confessori, as well as touring keyboardist Fabio Ribeiro, formed a new band, called Shaman (name of a song from the Holy Land album), and they are on a short tour to promote the new band.
		Luis Mariutti keeps on making his good job on bass, Ricardo Confessori porves once again to be one of brazilian best drummers, though his solo was very boring (as most of the drums solos I've ever seen).
		But more unexpected was the cover for Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls", with Andre Matos on drums, Ricardo Confessori on the guitar, Hugo Mariutti playing guitar and singing.

	The Power of Edguy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It was a well-known fact to the true headbangers (like us!) that Shaman band that appeared in 2000 consisted of the former members of the worldwide known (in Russia as well) Brazilian band - Angra.
		They are Andre Matos (Angra's ex-singer and author of quite a few of the old Angra's repertoire) and Angra's ex-rhythm-section in the persons of Luis Mariutti (bass) and Riccardo Confessori (drums) in alliance with Luis' brother Hugo (guitars) and the session-keyboardist Fabio Ribeiro.
		However, only the date of the show and the name of the hall found by us on the official website were our guiding star.

		Like drummer Ricardo Confessori, Luis is a true metal fan and started listening to hard rock at age 10, when he first heard AC/DC's Back in Black.
		Together, Luis and Ricardo share not just the fiery will to play heavy metal, but the desire to play it with power, intensity, finesse, and technical proficiency all at the same time.
		The rhythm section they form is the basis for the entire band to explore new horizons of musical creativity.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY LARRY 'LARRYD' DAGLIERI
		What makes this band so special is that each instrument has a separate function within each song, in that it’s easy to pick out and hear what each instrument is doing at any time, yet the band manages to combine every aspect of their music into one singular sound that defies the concept of unity.
		The twin guitar attack of guitar wizards Kiko Loureiro and Rafael Bittencourt drive the powerful Angra sound, while the drumming of Ricardo Confessori propels the speed and tempo of the band effortlessly and methodically.
		Add in the high flying vocal attack of Andre Matos, who has an incredibly high range and can go from a soft, feminine style to a screeching Rob Halford style in the blink of an eye.

	[Metal-Temple.com] Shaaman - Reason (Review)
		When Andre Matos, Luis Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori left Angra, they were facing one of the biggest changes in their life so far.
		While "Ritual" was privileging the undeniable virtuosity of the musicians, "Reason" opens up space for the heart and soul of the band.
		The music of Andre Matos, Ricardo Confessori, Luis Mariutti and Hugo Mariutti is now more organic, which helped highlight the contrast between heavy guitar riffs and moody keyboard lines.

	Surprise Of June 2002
		For those who are not aware of that, Shaman is the new band of the x-Angra members who left the band a few years ago.
		So we have Andre Matos on vocals, Luis Mariutti on Bass, Ricardo Confessori on the drums, while the new member is Hugo Mariutti (Luis' brother) on the guitars.
		To be honest when angra released the album "Holy Land" in 1996 I received a strong cultural shock by their magnificent music, which took quite a long time to overcome.

	[Metal-Temple.com] Hugo Mariutti (Interview)
		After André Matos (vocals), Luís Mariutti (bass) and Ricardo Confessori (drums) split from Angra, they decided to get together and form a new band.
		When Hugo Mariutti (Luís Mariutti’s brother) auditioned for the band, it was clear that they had found the right man for the guitars.
		That was Sascha’s [Paeth, producer] and Ricardo’s [Confessori, drummer] idea, which was approved by everyone else.

	Shaman - The Ritual
		3 members of Shaman, Matos, Luís Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori used to be in a band together called Angra.
		After the split, a couple of years later, they rejoined and formed Shaman.
		But it really doesn't bother me. I mean, I've already enjoyed all the great stuff on the album, nothing as minor as this is going to put me off.

		When Andre Matos, Luis Mariutti and Ricardo Confessori left the already successful Brazilian power metallers "Angra" at the end of 2000 they went on to team with guitarist Hugo Mariutti to form what is now "Shaaman" or "Shaman" in the first guise of their name.
		During 2002 the released their first and highly acclaimed debut album "Ritual" which went on to sell over 100,000 copies worldwide and spawned the live DVD "RituAlive".
		I just hope that something can be worked out in the not too distant future, so that Shaaman can come over to Europe and do an extensive tour and show what they can do live too.

	Larry's Music: Shaman
		Shaman formed as a result of the split of the "classic" Angra lineup.
		Kiko Loureiro and Rafael Bittencourt continued with the name Angra, while Andre Matos, Luis Mariutti, and Ricardo Confessori left to form Shaman, with Luis's brother Hugo filling in the guitarist slot.
		So therefore, one might expect Shaman to sound like Angra.

		Having first reached success with Viper in the 1980s, he quit this band to start everything anew and form Angra.
		After three studio albums that have become power metal classics of the 1990s, the band broke in two, with Andre, bassist Luis Mariutti and drummer Ricardo Confessori starting everything anew again under the name Shaman.
		This time the way to success was even harder, for it took the band two years to release their debut album "Ritual" all over Europe.

		But the band seemed to re-establish without them, albeit in a slightly different direction.
		Of course vocalist Andre Matos, bass player Luis Mariutti and drummer Ricardo Confessori — the trio I was talking about — had their own plans and forced them through by founding a new band.
		The child was called Shaman, meaning ‘medicine man’ and giving a clue about the lyrical direction that the new formation would follow.

	SHAMAN
		I feel really sorry for those of you poor dummies who spent a whole month wondering if that was true or not...
		According to the science of numerology, which the members of Shaaman want to fit totally, the guys have decided to change their names into Aandre Maatos, Ricaardo Confessori, and Luis & Hugo Maariutti.
		We'll let you know about the album and other European tourdates and as soon as we have any news.
