NOAGE, the band led by Germana Noage, former singer of AETHERNA and who collaborated with the Friulian CELTIC HILLS singing in the song ‘Eden’. Precisely from this initial collaboration between Jonathan Vanderbilt, guitarist of Celtic Hills, and again with the production of Michele Guaitoli (Vision Of Atlantis) in 2021 at the Groove Factory in Udine, ‘Surrender’ was created, co-written by Jonathan and Germana.
Once back in Rome, Germana started looking for musicians for the band which is now made up of Michele Raspanti on bass (GRAAL and ex SECRET RULE), Michele “El Diablo” Serra on guitar (formerly in MINDCRIME and ex DAYLIGHT SILENCE), Massimo Pieretti on keyboards and Andres Gualco on drums (ex TERSIVEL).
On the songs composed by Michele “El Diablo” Germana inserted his lyrics full of pathos and wonderful lyrics and NOAGE’s music finally found its dimension. A metal with gothic hues but which pays great attention to the melodies, never banal arrangements and the lyrics of the songs with influences ranging from NIGHTWISH to QUEENSRYCHE.
Italian legendary Speed/thrash metallers CELTIC HILLS‘ Jonathan Vanderbilt and Germana Noage teamed up for NOAGE‘s new album on Elevate Records, the first single ‘Surrender‘ was released today, November 19th, on all digital platforms! The first video will also be out soon.
The collaboration between the two artists began when Germana Noage sang as a guest on the record of Celtic Hills.
Intense period for the leader of Celtic Hills, Jonathan Vanderbilt, who wrote the songs both for NOAGE and CELTIC HILLS. In fact, in a few months the follow up of the successful album “Mystai Keltoy” will be released. The new studio work of Celtic Hills (album still produced by Michele Guaitoli, singer of Vision of Atlantis and Temperance) will see the participation as singer of the drummer Simone Cescutti who, after this work will give himself to a career as a singer and guitarist and who greets the fans of the band singing a song!
Earlier Jonathan revealed on the upcoming album: “Again this time we will talk about Friuli, and the theory is at work that the location of the American Air Force Base Aviano is used to control an ancient access to the underground world, which has been used by the pagan gods since ancient times. The magical rites of the inhabitants of the mountains and the places where elves, fairies and gnomes once lived among the people are revealed. There are already definitive titles such as The Sound of the Earth in F sharp minor. A text tells how you can use the beneficial energy of the trees at dawn to strengthen your energies, but there will be no lack of historical events that accompany every CELTIC HILLS album.”
2021 has been a very positive year for CELTIC HILLS! The reviews of the ‘Mystai Keltoy’ album have been many, published on the major world newspapers and all with an average rating of around 9.
“Mystai Keltoy” (which is an enigmatic name that alludes to the Eleusian Mysteries) was released on May 15th 2021 via Elevate Records, and it’s inspired by themes ranging from ancient alien civilizations, European pyramids, legends and historical facts of Friuli, as you can already guess from the album cover. The disc was recorded and produced at the Groove Factory in Udine by Michele Guaitoli, a prominent name for being the lead singer of Temperance, Vision of Atlantis, Era.
The formation of the power trio is Simone Cescutti on drums, Jacopo Novello on bass and Jonathan Vanderbilt on vocals and guitars. The cover is hand painted by Sheila Franco, the same girl who painted Blood Over Intents, and represents the myth of the ancient visitors. Jonathan Vanderbilt played and recorded the album with Panico Custom instruments, the Italian sponsor of custom lutherie of Luca Panico di Ravenna, a guitar specially created with the specifications requested by the Canadian guitarist.
CELTIC HILLS were born in 2010, in 2020 they sign a recording contract with Elevate Records with which they release the album “Blood over Intents” and the EP “Schrage Musik” both in 2020. In 2021 another album is out “Mystai Keltoy” produced and recorded by Michele Guaitoli singer of Temperance, Vision of Atlantis and Era. The style played is difficult to place in a single vein of metal, as there are many influences ranging from death to power, with sound elements that can also recall a certain type of 90’s thrash. The singing is quite varied, and for some listeners it may seem unusual in a metal band. power, speed and good melodic lines distinguish the band from others. Between 2010 and 2020 they released “Horns helmet fighters” and for the Slovak Music Globalliance they came out on international compilations on volumes 2,3,4.
