METAL BLASTER

Antonello Giliberto - Guitar and Keyboard Here's what Antonello has to say about the album: I began work on Journey Through My Memory in September 2013, when by chance I was watching Frances Ford Coppola’s Dracula , which gave me the inspiration to write the album’s first track, Demeter (the name of the ship on which Dracula arrives in England.) From there I started down the path of writing through to July 2014, when I finished the track that closes the album, The Art of Ending. I do a lot of driving, so the ideas for many of my songs come to me in the car, or perhaps after a dream.  The first thing I do is record the melody on my smartphone, and then I slowly develop them in my recording studio. The title of the album stems from the fact that every track is in some way about me, about my past, about how my past experiences creatively explode into music. For this album I had in mind a symphonic metal sound, and so I included in each track ...

Classic Alien Invasion , one of the most promising metal newcomers of our universe.  Founded in early 2007 close to Achouffe by huge Thrash and Speed Metal enthusiasts John Harper and Tom Edwards .  Forged in the black holes of their youthful passions, they produce a metal music back to its roots, straight in your face and far from the complex structures or lyrical stuff that a lot of bands propose today but keeping melodies. Different tempos, aggressive riffs and sounds with guitars driving the music like a jam session coming from the belly of Roswell . They left aside some production tools to create a fresh and expressive music. At the end the result is a metal incident not suited for a fragile ear or an ear-fed of metal blockbusters. In some words, the space from a garage . In space...             no one can hear her scream...                         ...

Since their first gig the band emphasizes a impressive liveshow to give the audience not only a good sound bu...
