Five years after the release of “Paradiso” (2020) – the concluding chapter of the trilogy dedicated to Dante’s Divine Comedy – Starbynary returns with an ambitious new project. “Romeo and Juliet, Pt. I” is the first volume of a concept album inspired by the immortal work of William Shakespeare.

Led by founders Joe Caggianelli (vocals) and Luigi Accardo (keyboards), Starbynary continues their exploration at the crossroads of literature and music, shifting focus from the Dantean epic to the Shakespearean tragedy. The new work moves on progressive ground rich with intricate structures, complex harmonies, and a refined dialogue between modernity and tradition, with influences ranging from Baroque lyricism to 17th-century Italian music.

Alongside the confirmed members Alfonso Mocerino (drums) and Sebastiano Zanotto (bass), the lineup is highlighted by the arrival of guitarist Alessandro Cossu (already a member of Ashent), whose contribution promises to enrich the band’s sound. Enhancing the work is the special participation of Baroque soprano Anna Piroli, who interprets the character of Juliet.
