Formed by ex-Angra members (including André Matos and Ricardo Confessori) and noted for orchestral arrangements, folk/ethnic references and Matos's prominent vocals; debut album Ritual (2002) is frequently highlighted in reviews.

Reviews praise Shaman's debut Ritual (2002) for André Matos's vocal control, orchestral arrangements and folk/ethnic touches. Critics note ties to Angra's sound but also a more introspective, melancholic mood. Overall reception in the provided reviews is positive (both 4/5).
