Pier Gonella, guitarist and producer known for his work with Necrodeath, Mastercastle, Vanexa, and various other projects, has officially entered the Guinness World Records for “The Most studio album digitally released”.
Gonella has released over 300(!) albums of backing tracks for musicians, and with 122 albums released in 2023, he has surpassed the previous record.

Pier Gonella commented: “I publicly thank Daniele Pascali (Black Tears/Diamonds Prod rec), Pippo ‘Sbranf’ Marino (Metal.it/Rock Hard Italy), and Peso (Necrodeath) who provided their testimonies to accompany the extensive documentation. The Guinness World Records does not decide who the most experienced or ‘skilled’ musician in the world is, but it is a globally recognized institution that gathers all those who decide to distinguish themselves by venturing into something great. It was an exhausting but also fun challenge, which will give a lot of credibility to my work in music production that I have been carrying out with great passion for years. Furthermore, I wanted to send a message to today’s musicians: the time I spent producing 122 albums in a year, in my opinion, is the same time that many musicians spend on social media counting ‘likes,’ posting photos instead of music, and being “keyboard lions”… Let’s aim for more ambitious results, and by leveraging today’s technologies, we can achieve much more significant records…”
