MOONSTONE PROJECT Guitarist Jams With BLUE ÖYSTER CULT In Milan

September 18, 2008

On September 17, legendary New York rockers BLUE ÖYSTER CULT played in Milan, Italy at the Live Club. MOONSTONE PROJECT guitarist Matt Filippini joined them for a jam on their song "Then Came The Last Days Of May" (from 1972's "Blue Öyster Cult"). They played an extended 10-minute version.

Matt says: "What can I say about that? Joining one of my all-time favorite bands for a song It's just another dream for me. When I walked the stage I felt like a child in a toy shop!! I wanna thank my friend Eric Bloom for inviting me. God bless you, Eric! All the guys are not only AMAZING musicians but the best people too!"

MOONSTONE PROJECT finished mixing its new album in June. Filippini said, "Working with my buddy Ale [Del Vecchio] has been great...the songs sound in a very natural way, the overall sound reminds me of the great records from the '70s and I'm so happy about the songwriting! I really think me and Ale wrote some little hard-rocking bluesy gems. Looking forward to see it released."

MOONSTONE PROJECT's "Hidden In Time" CD was released in May on Mausoleum Records. According to a press release, "it's not a brand new studio album but a revamped reissue of the debut album, originally released as 'Time To Take A Stand' back in 2006. That new enhanced edition, with a new title, also features brand new artwork by Rainer Kalwitz, already known for his works for Century Media, Metal Blade, Frontiers and more. And apart [from] nine tracks featuring guests like Graham Bonnet, Carmine Appice, Steve Walsh, Eric Bloom, Tony Franklin and more, the new release features three bonus tracks featuring DEEP PURPLE men Ian Paice and Glenn Hughes!"
