MASTERCASTLE return on April 19th with their new
album,
On Fire, released through Lion Music. The cover art is pictured
below:
Home to nine tracks of melodic heavy metal with neo-classical
influences,
Mastercastle have been honing their trademark sound since
their debut The Phoenix (2009) and refining it
through Last Desire (2010) and
Dangerous Diamonds (2011). Led by the powerful vocals of
Giorgia Gueglio, the virtuoso guitar of
Pier Gonella and the driven bass
lines of
Steve Vawamas, On Fire marks the band's first release with new
drummer
John Macaluso (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JAMES LaBRIE).
Macaluso’s
addition has given the band a kick up the proverbial backside taking
their unique brand of metal to an even higher plateau.
On the band’s newest member Pier Gonella comments, "John gave us
great energy because from the first time he heard our music he was
really impressed. He participated in the composing process of On Fire
and his vast experience was a great help for the album's production as
well".
To give fans a taste of the upcoming album, a promotional video has been produced for the track
'Chains':
