Marco Garau'S Magic Opera
Description:
The second major symphonic speed metal project by former Dardian keyboard player Marco Garau! Marco Garau (keyboard), former keyboard player of Dardian, who started a dramatic symphonic metal project with his previous album "The Golden Pentacle" (2021), is finally releasing the sequel to that album! Marco Garau, the former musical leader of Dardian, wrote the epic concept story himself, which is embodied by the elite members of the band, continuing from the previous album! The singer is Anton D'Urso of WINGS OF DESTINY, a Costa Rican melodic power metal band. Guitarists are Enrico Pistolese of DERDIAN, who has returned to his regular job after playing bass on the previous album, and Luca Serrito, guitarist for the Italian prog-metal band STAMINA, who also plays on Ian Parry's latest album. On bass is Ollie Bernstein of the Japanese power metal band ILLUSION FORCE, which already has a large following.Salvatore Giordano, who, like Marco, left DERDIAN to join the band on drums! The band is now a super band. The songs are based on an original story by Marco, and the album is a concept album with an epic story about a cursed crown hidden in the fortress of Amtok! According to Marco, the story is conceived as a trilogy, and now, after the second album, a third will be produced. The songs are in a symphonic speed metal style that will bring tears to the eyes of DERDIAN fans, with Anton's emotional vocals, technical and classical arrangements, and beautiful melodies, furthering the trend of the previous album! Roland Grapow was hired for the mix, and the sound is perfect! The Japanese bonus track is the power ballad "To Eternity And Back..." featuring a beautiful piano, specially composed by Marco for his Japanese fans! Liner: Interview with Marco Garau with lyrics and bilingual translation!
