HALL OF GODS (Ronnie Romero, Zak Stevens, Ralf Scheepers) – A Tribute to the Gods of Music (2025) *HQ*

HALL OF GODS is the music project of Rafael Agostino, responsible for the songwriting and recording of all the instruments on the first effort titled “A Tribute to the Gods of Music“, a metal / hard rock `piece of work highlighting the melancholic and melodious facet of classical music giants.
Taking as inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, etc, but from the perspective of their genius, Agostino’s musical foundation is based on heavy guitar riffs, big drums, with a few synth orchestrations to embellish.

HALL OF GODS is metal, melodic, with variation, and to tell his homage the these greats Agostino called other ‘greats’ from the metal scene to put their impressive voices on it: Ronnie Romero, Ralf Scheepers, Zak Stevens, Chris Caffery, and more.
The result is pretty impressive, grandiose. The tech part is really good, very well recorded & produced. But then you need the songs, and Agostino is a truly accomplished composer. And we say ‘composer’ as this guy is much more than a songwriter – each track takes you to diverse places with its varied arrangements and melodic twists.
