Andre Matos ' 50th birthday , Wikimetal has prepared a very special promotion. This time, we will choose one person to win 2 CDs featuring the vocals of the Maestro of Rock: To Live Again – Live In São Paulo , Viper 's recent release with the bonus track "The Spreading Soul Forever", and the solo album The Turn of The Lights (2012 ).
To participate, simply answer the following question in the comments of the official Instagram post:
What is Andre Matos's continued importance to metal music today?
Answers should be submitted in the comments section, respecting the character limit set by Instagram, with a limit of only one comment per person. The best answer will win the prize! You can check the full rules below.
UPDATE (September 21, 2021, at 1 PM): Among many incredible answers about Andre Matos' legacy, the winner was Fernanda Rougemont! Read her answer below:
In all areas of knowledge, classics are considered as such not because they are perfect and have already addressed everything necessary, but because they opened new paths, perceived processes that previously went unnoticed, dared to think about what was not questioned, went beyond the common and defined what was experienced but we didn't know how to name. Above all, they are the starting point that instigates and encourages other curious souls and minds to question and create, evolving. Andre is an exceptional person whose existence, from the beginning, escapes the obviousness and expectations of what is already known and expected. His work never allowed limitations and restrictive classifications because it had the mission of being the foundation that encourages the search for the new, for a
new beginning, a reconciliation between the roots of the past and what can be built for the future. It was and will continue to be the soundtrack of many moments in our lives, because each composition is like a conversation with each
of us, with wise advice to appreciate and learn from each moment, each experience. Memories remind us who we are and how we got here; but they also point us to the possibilities and paths ahead. Andre was never afraid to start over. His legacy goes far beyond what he himself created and left us as inspiration: it's a call to creation. Carry on, always.
