The 7the Guild - Italian operatic power metal supergroup

Fans of operatic power metal may want to get in on this new collaboration called The 7the Guild (Italy). It is meant to please the audiences that appreciate traditional singing. The singers of three Italian bands join in on this project: Skeletoon, Rhapsody Of Fire and Vision Divine. Skeletoon’s Tomi Fooler is leading this project, recruiting former Vision Divine/Derdian’s Ivan Giannini and Rhapsody Of Fire’s Giacomo Voli to sing with him. The music is mostly upbeat or anthemic power metal that serves as a launching point for the three singers to go to town on this album and sing until the cows come home. Of course, fans that follow Italian power metal will know these names, but even listeners who are not too familiar with the band names and singers, it is very likely that the singing will do the job is supposed to: win people over. Right now it seems like there is only one song available for listening, but I can tell you that the entire album is like that, with power metal, with guitar melodies and a showcase of singing.

BIO: The 7th Guild saw the light in 2021: the vision of Skeletoon’s Tomi Fooler was to put together a trio of commanding metal singers in the vein of the legendary Three Tenors and pay homage to the rich Italian cultural heritage. Rhapsody Of Fire’s Giacomo Voli and former Vision Divine/Derdian’s Ivan Giannini soon joined him, forming this magic entity. Catchy power metal melodies wrapped in an operatic music style; classic orchestral arrangements meet bombastic cinematic patterns, resulting in a wonderful choral result.
