Description:

The band is led by Dimitri Sardini, guitarist of the Italian symphonic band MOONGARDEN, who has been active in various projects and bands such as Yngwie Malmsteen/TALISMAN/JOURNEY/SONS OF APOLLO, and Jeff Scott Soto (vo), a veteran singer in the hard rock world. Marco Minnemann (drs), who is active in various projects and bands such as THE ARISTOCRATS/THE MUTE GODS, Cristiano Roversi (b/v) of MOONGARDEN, and Jeff Scott Soto (vo), a veteran singer in the hard rock world, who is also active as a solo artist. The band is a multinational project formed by Marco Minnemann (drs), Cristiano Roversi (b/key), Simone Baldini Tosi (chorus), and others from MOONGARDEN, and their debut album is out in 2011. This album is based on a song written by Dimitri during the 2020 Lockdown and arranged/produced by Cristiano.As you can see from the participating members, the modern symphonic sound of MOONGARDEN, with its crossover of vintage lyricism and solid arrangements, is combined with the technical fusion-oriented drum playing of Marco, who has both rigidity and flexibility, and Jeff's energetic vocals, making this a melodic hard rock album with a straighter and sharper content than MOONGARDEN, Dimitri's guitar playing, which was a bit reserved in MOONGARDEN, is also outstanding, ranging from fast playing to weepy long tones and folkish arpeggios with a touch of earnestness. His guitar playing is also outstanding. Especially, 'Misha & the 7-8 Journey', a 27-minute-plus epic that dramatically changes scenes from organ rock to hard sympho/prog metal, is a must-hear masterpiece!
