Here we go with my New Official Video: O Sole Mio (Goes Metal).

"O Sole Mio" is the well known Italian traditional song.

No, it's not a joke..

How did I come up with this idea?

I was explaining some "improvisation concepts" to some of my students and this melody came out, so... I was like: I need to produce and record a metal version of this track and here we are...

Many thanks to Strobe (video shoot & editing) who did an amazing job as usual, Eric Meyer @ the Noiz Faktory recording studio who mastered the track, Igor Dunderovic for playing accordion & of course all my sponsors, Hotone Audio, Randall amps, Legator guitars & Lundgren Pickups for costant support.

I did produce the whole thing playing all the guitars, mandolins, bass and programming (drums & keys) as well as mixing.

Ladies & Djentlemen, here is O Sole Mio (Goes Metal)...

September 2025

I'm excited to announce my sixth studio album "The Revolution Of Evolution", set for release on September 21st, 2025 through FusionCore Records.

About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date.
Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4).
The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.

The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.

First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
