Andre Matos - Biography
André Coelho Matos is a Brazilian vocalist, pianist and composer. He was involved in the heavy metal bands Viper, Angra and Shaaman. Since October 2006 André Matos has been dedicating his time to his solo band.
In 1991 Angra was formed, and with the first album, Angels Cry, released in 1993, the band became famous in Japan and Europe. Later Holy Land and Fireworks were released. Angra's style evolved from a Helloween-inspired melodic speed metal to a unique blend of heavy-metal, classical music and traditional Brazilian influences which brought them worldwide critical praise.
In 2001, he left the band Angra alongside the rhythm section composed of Luis Mariutti (bass) and Ricardo Confessori (drums) because of a disagreement with guitar players Rafael Bittencourt and Kiko Loureiro concerning the band's management. Andre stayed with Angra's former rhythm section and recruited Luis' brother Hugo Mariutti on the guitar : together they formed the band Shaman, who had to change names to Shaaman before the release of their second album for legal reasons.
On April 20, 2012, it was announced that Andre had returned to his first well-succeeded band, Viper, to make a reunion tour to celebrate the 25-year anniversary of the band's debut album "Soldiers of Sunrise". The band played its first two albums, "Soldiers of Sunrise" and "Theatre of Fate" live in their entirety. After that the solo band and Viper joined each other on the secondary stage of the biggest Brazilian and one of the biggest festivals in the world, Rock in Rio, for a special concert and opening act for Helloween and Iron Maiden.
