On February 27 was released the first single from the new and ambitious musical project NURAGHICA, titled “Stranger in a Strange Land”.

Nuraghica was born from an idea by guitarist and composer Rob Richter, already known as the creative mind and guitarist of the Sassari-based hard rock band Pyrodome. The project takes shape with a clear and powerful vision: to create a series of songs performed by different guest singers, each carefully chosen to enhance unique vocal tones, personalities, and artistic sensitivities, while maintaining a strong, coherent, and recognizable sonic identity at its core.

Nuraghica’s musical roots run deep in the hard rock and heavy metal of the ’80s and ’90s, with evident references to the great epic and melodic sounds of that era, enriched by subtle modern influences that update the sound without compromising its authentic spirit. Sharp guitars, powerful riffs, evocative solos, and intense vocal lines form the beating heart of the project.

Officially launching the band’s recording journey is “Stranger in a Strange Land,” performed by Mr. Jack, singer and musician, as well as president of Wanikiya Record/Promotion. Mr. Jack did not limit his contribution to the vocal performance; he also wrote the lyrics and crafted the vocal melody, playing a decisive role in shaping the song’s emotional and narrative identity.

“Stranger in a Strange Land” is an inner journey, a powerful cry of alienation, search, and identity. The song tells the story of feeling like a stranger in a world that does not always understand those who choose to remain true to themselves. With its intense atmosphere, gritty energy, and a chorus destined to leave a lasting impression, the single stands as a perfect statement of intent for what Nuraghica aims to deliver in the coming months.

The project is currently working on a full-length album, scheduled – if possible – for release by the end of 2026 through Wanikiya Record/Promotion. The album will feature numerous guest vocalists, including Mr. Jack himself, who will participate in the project in a selective and focused manner, without appearing on every track, thus preserving the dynamic and collaborative nature of the initiative.

Most of the recordings were carried out at Mount Rest Studio in Montresta, ensuring a solid, powerful production faithful to the sonic aesthetic that defines Nuraghica.

With this first single, Nuraghica officially opens a new chapter in the Italian hard rock scene, bringing together experience, passion, and artistic vision in a project destined to make its mark.

Further details, new collaborations, and more music will be announced soon.

The journey has just begun.
