Former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ROYAL HUNT Singers To Guest On New MISTHERIA Album

March 3, 2010

Six years on from his last studio album, "Messenger Of The Gods", keyboard virtuoso Mistheria is hard at work with the recording of his new 11-track neo-classical/progressive metal album, entitled "Dragon Fire", set for release in the second half of 2010 via Lion Music.

Mistheria, the keyboardist of choice for IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson on the "Tyranny Of Souls" album, has pulled in a number of great names for "Dragon's Fire" in vocalists John West (ARTENSION, ex-ROYAL HUNT),Mark Boals (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN),Rob Rock (IMPELLITTERI),Lance King, and Titta Tani (ASTRA). Guitars come courtesy of George Bellas (RING OF FIRE, MOGG/WAY),Roger Staffelbach (ARTENSION, ANGEL OF EDEN),Neil Zaza and Emir Hot. The rhythm section comprises of drummer John Macaluso (ARK) and bassist Dino Fiorenza.

Some working songtitles for the album include "Fire & Flames", "Killing The Pain", "The Power Of One" and "Chopin Fantasy", with the rough demos already showing this will be an essential release for fans of early ARTENSION, classic YNGWIE MALMSTEEN and SYMPHONY X.

Last week George Bellas recorded all his guitars and John Macaluso is currently in the process of tracking his drums. Macaluso stated, "I just did half the tracks for Mistheria's album and it came out amazing! Over the top, with heavy groove and orchestrated kicks everywhere. I've got a really fat drum sound, — it's like [John] Bonham playing double bass in an orchestra."
