| NOW AUDITIONING GUITARISTS! |
Send a message if you're interested____________________________________________ In today's music scene where countless bands are effortlessly duplicated- Angel Vivaldi stands out as a unique and notable artist. With a sound and image all his own, his blend of mainstream hard rock and progressive guitar instrumental music have captured the ears of many who would have never given instrumental music a listen. Angel also serves as the lead guitarist for Black Market Hero which features members of FLAW and 40 Below Summer.
His upcoming release titled Revelations, is a vivid journey through Angel's endowments as a composer/arranger, writer, and of course- a guitarist. Surprisingly, his main focus is not on his technique and ability on the guitar but more so with the composition and arrangement of all his works. "Anyone can play the guitar as well as anyone else can. Many players get wrapped up in technique and competition rather than the song which is where the main focus should be." Revelations is much more than just the first full album from this artist. It is a captivating chronicle of religion, fate, deception and possible truth... with an unexpected and bizarre twist. You can expect to hear disturbing passages, direful sounds and an overall powerful message throughout this record. "I want people to feel something; good or bad," says Angel in regards to his upcoming album and concept.
"It has a strong storyline- something a bit different than most concept albums that prog-type bands put out. I don't like to classify my music or concepts with other artists'. Thats why I strive to do what I want to as an artist overall. I believe that doing this will always result in complete originality," adds Angel.

    "My main goal is to make music that best represents who I am personally as well as an artist, a writer and composer. In order to achieve that, I use the guitar as a sonic representation of what I have to say. The main difference from many other bands and artists is that my message is written in notes rather than words. The beautiful and unique thing about instrumental music is that there are so many different ways to identify and/or relate with it. Every song, phrase or passage can symbolize what YOU want it to mean to you, as opposed to set lyrics that directly states how the artist feels. I hope that each of you can find something within the music to identify with. If not, then hopefully you will be able to see the amount of sincerity that goes with each composition. Eternal thanks goes out to you all".
