Matos, Andre Mentalize

2010, Brazilian Andre Matos has been making his mark in metal through his time with Viper, Angra and Shaamen for a long time now. He's done the safe and sensible thing, sticking to the prog/power metal sounds he's known for. This man was a pioneer of Latin American music in the broadest sense: with his comrades of Angra he had committed a genuine revolution in the South American continent musical spaces. Melodic power metal, seasoned with a little of the original shamanistic melodies and decorated with wonderful melodies and orchestral arrangements has become the benchmark for style throughout Latin America heavy scenes.
