Hey everybody, a bunch of news from Demetrio "Dimitry" Scopelliti:

    I am starting the recording sessions for a new exiting music project. The band's name is "codex magika" and the album will be available in September 2011. The disc will be an Ep composed of 5 tracks of a kind of crossover between prog-fusion-rock/metal. The other musicians involved in the project are: Magnus Nødset (drums/Norway) and Davide Merletto (vocals/Italy). Check my blog for daily news/videos regarding the recording sessions of the album.

    I joined the American band "Abomination" for the next European tour in November 2011 (check tour dates section). The band is on the road again after 20 years of sleeping and still led by the legendary singer/bass player "Paul Speakmann". Look foward to seeing all the fans on the road...

    Arcadia have 3 brand new tracks downloadable for free from www.arcadiabastardcore.com. These are the first three tracks released after the previous album "Roy Philip Nohl" was out in 2010. Enjoy new & fresh music... The plan of the band is to complete the writing sessions for the next album by the late Summer (presumably September).

I'm busy with the mix, mastering of the new upcoming Arcadia Ep 2011.

The band will be headliner at the HARD CASTLE FEST in Alessandria (Italy) on July 30, 2011.

On the production side I am now mixing the upcoming album of the extreme metal band Framferd from Norway. All the album will be soon finished. Check their website ( www.framferd.com ) for the "studio diary".

Finally I had the time to start a new record on my own, the project name is "codex magika", this album will be out presumably in September 2011. Read my blog article for details. I'll play guitar, bass and I'll produce the entire album.

Have a nice summer and check my blog out for daily updates...

Hello, some fresh news...

I signed a distribution deal with RNC MUSIC, Italy based label distributing music on all the world digital stores.

My first album "Evolution 2009 version" will be distributed by them all over the world.
They are also licensing the physical CD for distribution in the record stores in Italy and the rest of the globe through other record labels (will know more about that later).

About my next solo album I have decided to start the recording sessions by Summer 2011; I have written a lot of material so far and I am going to decide about the musicians taking part in this new project soon, so stay tuned and you'll know the names.

I am re-arranging some demos for Arcadia and soon we're entering the studio for a new Ep out in May 2011 (see this video).

On the production side I am in the studio producing Framferd, looking foward for the vocals recording sessions.

Hello.

I am going to start this month the production of a new band, Framferd from Norway; they play extreme metal.

That band is really close to me because two of the guys in the band played in my "solo project" and recorded the two bonus tracks in "Dimitry's Evolution EP - 2009 edition".
We are starting on 21st February @ Skien Lydstudio (my studios).

About my next solo album I am in the "writing process". I have already recorded a lot of demo material and I am planning to start the recording of the album anytime soon around May/June 2011.
The material will be really various and most of the tracks will be different from each other: some rock, some with vocals (?), some metal tunes, some ethnic/folk (?)...

Arcadia have one new tune out at www.arcadiabastardcore.com. The song is downloadable for free!
You can also check the trailer on the official blog of this website.

The band's plan is to record some new material soon.

Stay tuned...

Hey Everybody!

Hope you had a great celebration on new year's eve. I am here back in business. 2010 was an awesome year for me. In order:

• I released the new album of Arcadia "RPN" which is still going great right now (check the new reviews/interviews in the press section).

• With Arcadia we took part in 2 different tours for a total of 2 months on the road.

• I finished the 3rd part of my rock-metal instructional/demo DVD. Watch all videos here.

• I finished and opened to the public the new "Skien Musikk: Skien gitarskole og lyd studio", a combination between a music school and a recording studio. Check www.skienmusikk.com for info.

• I produced and recorded the single of Celina: "This is not so cool"

• I produced the band "Emanuel Desperados" in the studio.

What about the 2011? I already have a lot of plans:

• A new solo album
• A new instructional dvd/course
• A lot of touring and other "secret plans", secret just so far

I wish you guys a nice 2011 and a good winter.
