Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

ROBERTO TIRANTI, a longtime frontman of Italian power metal band LABYRINTH, has announced that he has decided to leave the band, read below:

It is never easy to write this kind of public statements, but I think it’s fair to be clear and sincere towards those that for many years have granted us esteem and love.

From now on I am no longer the singer of Labyrinth, after almost 18 years I leave the band that more than any other has given me in terms of satisfaction, blazon and experience in Italy but even more abroad.

6 albums, an EP and a “Best Of”, a lot of music written all together with a common goal, so much life shared that cannot be wiped out and the awareness of having friends I can count on and hopefully meet again in the future to write other music together.

Everyone is useful, no one is indispensable and I think that also this time the band will be able to face this with the usual strength and ability to reinvent itself.
I’ve had the best band I could have had to express myself in that field and I’m sure I won’t ever be part of any other band of similar type, it would be stupid, incoherent and unfair to Labyrinth.
At the moment I’m working on my first solo album on which I am spending a lot of energies, moreover the collaborations with Ken Hensley , Wonderworld and Mangala Vallis keep going on.
My priorities obviously go to my solo project, in order to create a firm-based foundation for the future.

THANKS TO LABYRINTH, THANKS TO YOU ALL.

Roberto
