Bloody Idol –

Bloody Idol – The Last Crusader 

We are happy to announc a new deal and the first album of  BLOODY IDOL.

This is a concept album that tells the story of a European peasant who leaves his homeland in search of fortune and glory, embarking on a medieval crusade. The story unfolds over various chapters, filled with loss, promises, suffering, and reflections, culminating in madness, where he imagines himself as the last crusader left to defend the promised land. His emotions serve as a metaphor for the modern man’s struggles—a timeless concept in which anyone can see themselves and feel personally involved.

The album was conceived by Joey Mauro, a long-time keyboardist and composer, and the mastermind behind the legendary Italian prog band *Hunka Munka*, with over three decades of experience in pop and rock.

A crucial contribution comes from the musicians involved in the recordings: Gianluca Quinto (*Solisia, DeLa Muerte*), Marcantonio Quinto (*Solisia, Hunka Munka*), Andrea Arcangeli (*DGM, Timo Tolkki*), and Ilaria Bernardini (*Rossometile*).

The vocals are delivered by four distinct singers:

– Wild Steel (*Shadows of Steel, Gabriels, Oracle Sun, Wild Steel*)

– Terence Holler (*ex-Eldritch, Holler*)

– Roberto Tiranti (*Labyrinth, Ken Hensley, New Trolls*)

– Dario Grillo (*Thy Majestie, Platens, Gabriels, Nightblaze*)

The album features 12 original tracks of heavy rock, with neoclassical, symphonic, and gothic elements that enhance each song, ensuring broad appeal even for fans of more modern genres.
