Shine!
When the seasons change and the truth unfolds
Will your path leave regret?
Shine!
When the curtain falls and the veils removed
Will you rise from the depths?
You, you feel it, dont deny in your conscience
Hell, ever waiting, you and I are the victims
Life, is a mist in the air, just a vapor
Time, like a shadow disappears in the twilight
Say, say your prayers, shake your fear - hear the call
Escape from Hell

The Vivaldi Metal Project is a music creation born from an idea conceived and developed
by Italian keyboard player, composer and producer MISTHERIA.
Production, ideation, concept and artistic direction by MISTHERIA | www.mistheria.com
Co-produced by Alberto Rigoni | www.albertorigoni.net
www.vivaldimetalproject.com
The project is a symphonic-metal opera based on Antonio Vivaldis Baroque masterwork The Four Seasons, featuring more than
130 amazing metal and classical artists, orchestra, a string quartet and three choirs from all over the world. The album features 14
tracks - all the movements from Antonio Vivaldis original score plus two original new songs written by Mistheria.
The impressive roster of artists probably makes this titanic album the biggest all-star project ever!
Back in 2013, Mistheria started thinking about making a metal version of The Four Seasons, a masterpiece that he loved and kept
listening to since his childhood. Mistheria started to play and record all the movements on the piano but then felt that a parallel
symphonic-metal version would have been the perfect continuation. Therefore, he recorded and uploaded a short trailer on the
web to start engaging musicians. A few days later, Italian bassist and composer Alberto Rigoni, who had already collaborated with
Mistheria by recording bass on his previous solo album, learned about the project and contacted Mistheria offering his support to
work on the project as co-producer.
Also, Mistheria made the innovative choice - never done so far - to add lyrics and singers to The Four Seasons which, as composed
by Vivaldi, is an instrumental work. For this important task, he invited Douglas R. Docker who perfectly translated the producers
concept into brilliant lyrics. Additional lyrics were written by Mistheria, Rob Rock and Lance King.
A cast of 10 awesome arrangers joined Mistheria creating epic and memorable music, combining a standard metal band lineup with
strings, orchestra and choir: Douglas R. Docker, Francesco DallO, Frank Caruso, Gabriels, Keiko Kumagai, Nicols Waldo, Pawel
Penksa, Tomas Varnagiris, Yannis Androulakakis and Zhivko Koev.
It took more than 2 years of intensive non-stop hard work to get the album done.
