Italian top level musician, teacher, songwriter and producer ALESSANDRO DEL VECCHIO has joined All-stars VIVALDI METAL PROJECT.
VIVALDI METAL PROJECT’s mastermind, Mistheria stated: “Vivaldi Metal Project is truly amazed to feature ALESSANDRO DEL VECCHIO (member in Edge Of Forever, Hardline, JORN), one of the greatest singers, keyboardists, songwriters, and producers, in their second studio album.
Alessandro Del Vecchio has given his contribution, both as singer and lyricist, on the legendary Albinoni’s “Adagio in G minor” as arranged by Mistheria. Alessandro wrote wonderful, passionate, and deep lyrics and, of course, recorded awesome lead and backing vocal tracks.”
Watch below the announcement of Alessandro Del Vecchio on his collaboration with a sneak peek from the studio:
Frontiers Music Srl is excited to present a one of a kind release, the single ‘Push Through’. A unique song – available now on all digital platforms – which was recorded by a virtual plethora of Frontiers artists!
It all started from a discussion that the label team had with their in-house producer Alessandro Del Vecchio after the idea of creating a Frontiers All Stars song had come up. It was everyone’s desire to vent about the overall frustration and disappointment that the pandemic situation had created for the world and give a sort of “sign of life,” which had to be related to the fact that while all the businesses were shut down, creativity was certainly not on hold.
Alessandro says, “We all know how we will remember 2020. A year when everything stopped and we experienced something unique, tough, and certainly trying. These times are difficult for all the musicians, labels, promoters, and workers of the music industry. The dream felt like it was slipping away and the world seemed a much sadder place without concerts, albums, and all the emotions that music brings. “Push Through” is about how musicians reacted. I’ve never seen so much music played, shared, and promoted as in this pandemic. My timeline was full of music videos, live streams, bedroom acoustic sessions, and anything that could be done in such a situation. Musicians never stopped. Even in a trying environment we kept our voice out there, kept pushing to release music and this is my tribute to us all, who kept our voices heard. “Push Through” is the anthem to Frontiers and their amazing roster and I’m very glad I could be joined by some of my bandmates, friends, and new found brothers. The line up says it all, they roar those words and let their instruments scream! The result is simply incredible and to see three generations of rockers creates a unique bond never heard or seen before. This is for you all, keep pushing and feeding that PMA!”

Alessandro Del Vecchio has become a household name in the modern rock scene, associated with bands like Hardline, Jorn,Revolution Saints, Edge Of Forever, and more. From producing to songwriting, Alessandro’s journey with Frontiers Records has brought the melodic rockworld an undeniably vast and successful catalogue of songs. Either as a band member and producer or as an outside writer, Alessandro has helped to shape some of today’s names and very much loved albums from the likes of Hardline, JORN, Edge Of Forever, Revolution Saints, Find Me, and more.
Alessandro’s songwriting contributions and wide range of musical talents is highlighted in the singles that he has penned for the artists who performed the songs, so the idea of creating a compilation of songs of Alessandro’s in their original demo form was born. “Sounds From The Notebook – The Demo Sessions” sheds a light on his creative process and the birth of these songs.
“Sounds From The Notebook – The Demo Sessions” is a glimpse at Alessandro’s original vision of these songs while also digging into his songwriting process, providing a means to understand how his creative mind works. He creates a song all-round, playing all instruments and arranging allparts, and these demos see him playing and recording all instruments, singingall lead and backing vocals and producing. Only “Edge Of Tomorrow” features the song’s co-writer, fellow producer Simone Mularoni on guitars, bass and drums.
For those who know Alessandro only for being a producer, or singer, or keyboard player, this compilation will give a complete view of him as an artist.
“I’m a songwriter by nature. When I was a kid I wanted to become a musician to write my own songs. I was never attracted to just singing or playing, I wanted to find my own voice and sound through the songs I could write. I just sit down and write….I could write any day, any time. It’s a very natural process for me, like a catharsis. I see and hear sounds and stories everywhere….for me life and the world are endless inspirations. Obviously when I write for myself I’m telling my stories, singing my vision, but when I write for somebody else I try to stay true to the artist themselves. But always try to write songs that are a positive outlet. I am not the kind of songwriter with a bunch of ideas always “in the drawer” as to me creation is a moment. I sit, write, record, and complete things as they come to me. When Frontiers came up with the idea of a democollection of my songs, I was on one hand humbled because I’m a band guy, a teamperson, but on the other hand, very enthusiastic as I could release some of these songs as they were in their original forms. All these demos have been written, arranged and recorded in a matter of very few hours. When I write I don’t sit on an idea. It’s like I hear the whole song finished in my head and I just channel that creative instinct out. In some places you will hear a one take vocal line, raw angles on guitars, myself playing guitar solos, but the purpose of this album is exactly this: to show the true, raw, real nature of these songs. Picture me, alone in my studio, surrounded by my instruments, a microphone and a notebook and then close your eyes and push play. You’ll be there with me, in that moment when out of a sound in my head, these songs became music.”
The tracklist is a travel through time on the alliance between an artist and his label.
