Antonio rejoices: “I can finally say it – I have signed my first record deal! Since I was a kid, singing has been my safe place, my obsession, my biggest dream. I used to imagine what it would feel like to write my own music, release it into the world, and take it to stages across the globe. And now…it’s becoming real. I’m beyond proud to announce that I’ve officially signed to PERCEPTION with my new project: A COLD PARADISE! This moment is surreal: a mix of gratitude, joy, and disbelief. Years of hard work, countless sacrifices, moments I almost gave up…but something inside me kept burning and now that fire is about to explode. Massive thanks to Jochen Richert, who believed in me since the early days with ALL FOR METAL, and is now standing with me as I take this next leap. This new chapter is loud, emotional, cinematic, and unapologetically mine.”
PERCEPTION label strategist Nils Wasko adds: “I can only underline Antonio’s words: Since his meteoric arrival with ALL FOR METAL at the latest, it’s been crystal-clear that he’s a born entertainer and made for more. A COLD PARADISE is exactly what’s missing to make his voice and presence shine in an even brighter light, which we will achieve together what I’m pretty sure about. Benvenuto a PERCEPTION!”
