Ex-ANGRA Singer ANDRÉ MATOS: Unofficial 'Separate Ways' Video Posted Online

Former ANGRA/SHAAMAN frontman André Matos' "unofficial" video for his cover of JOURNEY's "Separate Ways (World Apart)" can be viewed below. The clip was helmed by IPC TV, which produces and broadcasts a variety of community programs in Portuguese to an increasing Brazilian community in Japan.

Matos' version of "Separate Ways (World Apart)" appears as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of his debut solo album, "Time to be Free", which came out in Japan on August 22 via Avalon/Marquee Inc. The CD was produced by Roy Z (BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD, JUDAS PRIEST) and Sascha Paeth (KAMELOT, EDGUY, RHAPSODY, FREEDOM CALL) between November 2006 and February 2007 at Ultra Sonica and Brainless Brothers Studios in São Paulo, Brazil and at Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany.

SHAAMAN (formerly SHAMAN) — the Brazilian band featuring former ANGRA members Matos, Luis Mariutti (bass) and Ricardo Confessori (drums) — officially called it quits in October 2006. The break-up, which was long rumored, was attributed to personal and musical differences. The group has since reformed under the SHAMAN moniker, featuring drummer Ricardo Confessori alongside guitarist Leo Mancini, vocalist Thiago Bianchi and bassist Fernando Quesada.
