Original and cover of Classical masterpieces are both featured in this long-awaited release.
Recordings started on 2012 after all demo versions were completed, including songwriting and arrangements. John Macaluso has been the first musician entering the studio after Mistheria himself. John recorded drums in a 1-day long and exhausting session, an insane and legendary performance by the amazing american drummer! Afterward, Mistheria called the other members to move ahead: Steve Di Giorgio and Dino Fiorenza laid down “tank” bass tracks, Roger Staffelbach, Leonardo Porcheddu and Ivan Mihaljevic superb guitar tracks and the special guests Chris Caffery (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Savatage) and Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson, Halford) delivered fantastic guitar solos!
“The tracks in Gemini are a combination of my original songs and classical covers and a blend of them. Gemini collects my instrumental songs composed along my career, therefore I titled it Gemini which is my astrological sign. That’s me and my music fully represented. Songs range from metal and symphonic metal to prog including some new-age atmospheres. That’s basically my vision of music, quite open and wide.” (Mistheria)
