Alberto shared:
“Hello, headbangers and pop lovers!
I have a couple of news… firstly, a New Project, I tell only only the name of the first song… META FUNK! Secondly, a new solo album…. of lullabies… Part 1 – sweet Part 2 – Metal, which will be a mix of cover and original songs. I will play only one bass, which belongs to one of my favorite bass players, Randy Coven (ARK, Steve Vai), I’ve been so lucky to find it, which I’ve been searching for years!!! It was used for recording Burn the Sun, the top album ever!!!!!! That’s all for now! More coming soon or probably later! Ciao! Al”
