Retail of WEB album. Enjoy!
Mastercastle were founded in January 2008 by the guitar player Pier Gonella and
the singer Giorgia Gueglio. The pair had several music projects in the past and
wanted to try something different. No fixed genre was chosen with the emphasis
being on producing music in a natural way.
The result was a natural mix of the virtuoso guitar style of Pier with the
individual female voice of Giorgia Gueglio which worked well together. The pair
wrote a great number of songs and recorded a 4 songs promo to gain label
interest. The line-up was completed by the drummer Alessandro Bissa aka Bix and
the bassist Steve Vawamas, and the name Mastercastle was settled on for the new
real band.
On July 2008 they sent the demo to Lion Music who offered a deal which leads us
up to the release of MastercastleÆs debut album ôThe Phoenixö on April 17th
2009. The album was very well accepted worldwide. All reviews appreciated in
particular the original voice of Giorgia and the good way of mix tecnical and
ôguitar-basedö riffs with melodic chorus. In 12 months the videoclip of the song
ôPrincess of loveö had more than 60000 views on youtube.
The band started immediately writing new stuff for a new album. Another 4 songs
demo was sent to Lion Music and they get another deal. With the great experience
of the previous album, the band worked better than before and produced 12 tracks
(2 instrumental). The new album ôLast Desireö was released by Lion Music on June
18th 2010.
