RICARDO CONFESSORI – FORMER ANGRA, SHAMAN DRUMMER RELEASE “NO PRIZE TO PERFECTION ” SINGLE

Last Friday, February 14, 2025, the metal scene gained new prominence with the release of the single “No Prize To Perfection”, by Confessori. The track features a special appearance by vocalist Carlos Zema, known for his work with Immortal Guardian, as well as the collaboration of renowned musicians Thiago Larenttes and Affonso Jr. (Roland Grapow), both with extensive experience in the music industry.

Recorded at Studio Harmony House, in São Paulo, the music video was directed by Thiago Larenttes, who has already been nominated twice for a Latin Grammy. In a statement about the project, Zema expressed his satisfaction in collaborating with Confessori and highlighted the relevance of the song, which is based on the acclaimed series “Arcane”, from the League of Legends universe. “I feel privileged to work with this top-caliber team,” stated Zema.

The lyrics of “No Prize To Perfection” address the duality between the perfect and the imperfect, a theme that resonates strongly in the narrative of “Arcane”. Ricardo Confessori, the band’s drummer and composer of the track, explained that the inspiration came from the complexity of the characters in the series, where a search for an ideal world can lead to the destruction of human nuances. “Sometimes, only a balance between the two sides is possible,” he reflected.

Thiago Larenttes also commented on the versatility of the track, emphasizing that it requires a high technical level in its mixing and mastering. The orchestrations present in the song are a differential that promises to enchant listeners.

Affonso Junior praised the composition by stating that the first version gave him certainty that the project had reached a new level. “It became my favorite due to its rhythmic and harmonic richness,” he said.

With an innovative proposal and a talented team, “No Prize To Perfection” stands out as one of the main promises of the current music scene. The clip can be seen on digital platforms and promises to captivate both rock fans and admirers of the deep narratives present in the “Arcane” series.
