“Heros is an extraordinary musician, and his presence has left a permanent mark on the history of Korzus and Brazilian metal. For almost three decades, Heros dedicated an immense part of his life to the band, in the studios, on the road, and on stage. There were three studio albums, countless tours, trips throughout Brazil and the world—intense moments that shaped not only the sound of Korzus, but also our identity as a group. Heros helped build very important chapters in our history, contributing ideas and performances that elevated the name of Korzus to a new level.”
Throughout these 27 years, Heros has become more than just a guitarist; he is and always will be part of the KZS family. His dedication and friendship will remain alive in every memory, every song, and every achievement we shared. We wish him every success and many accomplishments in the next steps of his career. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts for everything, for all the memories built side by side, and for everything he represented to us and to Brazilian metal.”
