Ready to be Hated is a Brazilian metal band formed by renowned musicians: Luis Mariutti (bass), Thiago Bianchi (vocals), Fernando Quesada (guitar), and Rodrigo Oliveira (drums). Artists who played key roles in different eras of Shaman — as well as other iconic bands from the global metal scene — have joined forces to bring to life a bold, emotional, and conceptual project.


"The Game of Us" is a concept album that blends visual art, storytelling, and music with a real, physical board game. The album delivers something innovative and deeply emotional. Its board game-style booklet stands out as a unique feature, serving as an extension of the band’s artistic message. André Honorato’s artwork perfectly captures the project’s critical and existential spirit, with intricate details and an aesthetic that invites reflection. The honesty in the lyrics, the talent of the musicians involved, and the boldness of the format make The Game of Us a work that goes beyond music — it’s a statement of artistic resistance.
