Demetrio «Dimitry» Scopelliti - «Last Night Fire» 6th track from «The Art of Complications» ( Randall Rh20, Legator Ninja )
This video is a live performance playing a Legator Ninja 8 string guitar through a Randall Rd20h, I also used a bunch of Hotone pedals, soulpress, grass, ravo & xtomp.
Here is my demo of this little awesome piece of gear. The RAVO by Hotone. Recorded directly on my interface, no amp, no DI box either. I am using a twin emulation on the clean and a 5150 EVH as distorted and lead. On the lead I added an emulation of a tube screamer in the preamp section.
Thanks to: Hotone, Dosio Music - Italy, Jobbe 3.14 for Studio A availability, Legator Guitars.
First Video from Frankfurt Musikmesse: Dimitry playing «Last Night Fire», taken from the latest album: «The Art of Complications», at Frankfurt Musikmesse, Hotone Audio booth.
After months on the road supporting The Revolution of Evolution, with shows across Asia, the US, and Europe, we are now closing the first part of the tour with a final date in Belgium at Six K Fest alongside amazing bands and musicians.
The response to the album has been absolutely overwhelming in the best possible way. Fans and critics embraced The Revolution of Evolution far beyond my expectations, and seeing all the support has been incredibly rewarding after all the hard work.
The video for Undercurrent also surpassed 50,000 views—an unexpected milestone for a niche artist like me while my Spotify numbers finally reached the level I always hoped for.
A huge thank you to the musicians who joined me on this tour: Laurent Bernadac, Yohan Delasalle, Cello Azul, Eric Nalin, and Alessandro Cacace.
Now, it's time to slow down a bit on live gigs and focus on writing the next chapter of my prog metal journey: album number seven in my solo discography.
On the Inspiria Guitars side, we continue to grow with updated guitar models, the LP4 2.0, a new five-string bass, and fresh string packs. Check them out at InspiriaGuitars.com.
I'll also release upgraded versions of SL8: a studio edition and a live edition from the Alexandrian Metal Assault in Italy last May.
Thank you all for your support. Stay tuned for more music, gear, and updates, and follow me on social media for regular content!
