Time To Be Free<\/h3>

TIME TO BE FREE is Andre Matos’ first studio album in his solo career, after his departure from the band Shaman. Produced by Roy Z (Judas Priest, Helloween, Bruce Dickinson, Halford) and mixed by German guitarist Sascha Paeth, the album is considered a classic of the \u201cmelodic metal\u201d genre.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lyrics are about independence, freedom, and new horizons, presenting a sincere and very personal approach to the artist\u2019s beliefs at that time. After years of participation in notable bands on the scene (Viper, Angra and Shaman), Matos has selected a team of exceptional musicians for the project: Hugo Mariutti and Andr\u00e9 \u201cZaza\u201d Hernandes on guitars; Luis Mariutti on bass; Rafael Rosa on drums, and F\u00e1bio Ribeiro on keyboards. The album also features guest appearances by Amanda Sommerville on backing vocals and violinist Marcus Viana.<\/span><\/p>\n

The precise, heavy and visceral sound stands out in songs such as Rio<\/em> (nominated for best heavy metal song at the Worldwide Prize Music Awards 2008<\/em>), Letting Go<\/em>, Endeavor<\/em> and in the intriguing A New Moonlight<\/em>, a peculiar reinterpretation of Piano Sonata No. 14 in C- Sharp Minor, Op. 27 No. 2 \u201cMoonlight\u201d: I. Adagio Sostenuto (Moonlight Sonata)<\/em> by Ludwig van Beethoven.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>
