VIVALDI METAL PROJECT – EpiClassica (2022)
VIVALDI METAL PROJECT is the international symphonic-metal act created and produced by Italian keyboardist and composer Mistheria (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Rock, Mark Boals, etc). Vivaldi Metal Project’s first record “The Four Seasons” revolved around the concept of the various “seasons” of the human life – from birth to death.
As a continuation of the last, this new album titled “EpiClassica” explores the “seasons” of our emotional experience as human beings – from joys to sorrows and from frailty to deep strength.
While based on classical themes by Vivaldi, Chopin, J. S. Bach, Beethoven, etc, these songs are largely composed of original material, representative of Vivaldi Metal Project’s sympho metal style.
“EpiClassica” features the immense talent of about two-hundred musicians involved including soloists, orchestras, and choirs, including Mike Portnoy, Rob Rock, Jeff Scott Soto, Mark Boals, Anders Johansson, Joel Hoekstra, jsut to name a few.
Very entertaining music, a Highly recommended listen.
