WILD STEEL

Wild Steel began singing at the age of 16 in a local band named Projecto and after some years he joined Prometeo, a Progressive Metal band from Genoa. One year later the band changed its name to Shadows of Steel and in 1997 recorded its first album under the label Underground Symphony. It played Power Metal with strong Progressive influences also thanks to Andrea De Paoli on keyboards.

The lyrics ranged from fantasy to dreams telling of imaginary people lived in remote ages, and revealing at times autobiographical citations. In 1998 the band published “Twilight”, its second album, with the permanent participation of Frank Andiver on drums.

Many line-up changes delayed the recording of the third full-length album “Second Floor” that was only released in 2002. As a consequence Wild Steel decided to dedicate himself to something else and in 2003 he produced the debut album of Athlantis, a band with some of Shadows of Steel members and Roberto Tiranti as a special guest.

That same year he recorded the song “Angel Cries”, included in “Tears in Floods”, the album of Odyssea, the new band of Pier Gonella. In 2005 it was the turn of Soulblaze as vocalist. Thanks to the gained experience, in 2006 he recorded his first solo album at the New Sin Studios in Loria (Italy), simply entitled “Wild Steel”, with Pier Gonella on guitars and Frank Andiver on drums. In the same period he recorded also a tribute album dedicated to Crimson Glory celebrating the great admiration he had always felt for this American group. The album, titled “Transcending Glory – A Tribute To Crimson Glory” vas released in 2011. The mask that Wild Steel wears during his shows is to celebrate the great Midnight.
