Five years after the release of Paradiso (2020)—the final chapter of their trilogy dedicated to The Divine Comedy—STARBYNARY returns with an ambitious new project.
On September 27, 2025, via Elevate Records, they will unveil Romeo and Juliet, Pt. I, the first volume of a concept album inspired by William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy.
Led by founding members Joe Caggianelli (vocals) and Luigi Accardo (keyboards), Starbynary continues their exploration at the crossroads of literature and music, shifting focus from Dante’s epic to Shakespearean drama.
The new work navigates progressive terrain with intricate structures, complex harmonies, and a refined dialogue between modernity and tradition—drawing influences from Baroque lyricism to 17th-century Italian music.
Alongside returning members Alfonso Mocerino (drums) and Sebastiano Zanotto (bass), the band welcomes guitarist Alessandro Cossu (formerly of Ashent), whose contribution promises to enrich their sound. Adding further brilliance to the album is guest soprano Anna Piroli, a Baroque specialist, who lends her voice to the role of Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet, Pt. I will be available in physical and digital formats.
