🔥 The Royal Wizard Rises!

We are immensely proud to present this sonic masterpiece through Virtuoso Records, our sister label dedicated to guitar virtuosos. After the electrifying singles Virtus Absentiae and Omnia Vincit Amor—each accompanied by stunning music videos—the time has come for Raffaello Indri's full-length revelation: Royal Wizard.

A name synonymous with guitar excellence, Raffaello has left his mark on bands like Adamantis Guitar Orchestra, Frankenstein Rooster, and Never Say Duo, though many will recognize him from his tenure with power metal legends Elvenking. Now, with Royal Wizard, he steps into the solo spotlight for the first time, crafting a monumental fusion of neoclassical guitar fury and sweeping orchestral grandeur.

This isn't just an album—it's an alchemical transformation. Each composition acts as a sonic incantation, where the electric guitar ascends to become the first violin of a vast neoclassical symphony. Through a cascade of meticulously crafted tracks, Royal Wizard transports listeners to a realm where melody conjures visions of arcane power, timeless wisdom, and irresistible mystique.

The orchestral arrangements, helmed by Antonio Agate (Secret Sphere), don't merely accompany—they elevate, creating a breathtaking dialogue between symphonic elegance and raw electric energy. From solemn harmonies to dazzling virtuosic passages, every moment feels like a spell woven in sound.

And for those who crave more than just music, the 24-page booklet serves as a grimoire unto itself. Each track is paired with dedicated artwork and an original incantation, blurring the line between album and artifact.

Royal Wizard isn't just heard—it's experienced. Prepare to be enchanted.

New Signing to Elevate Records: Evelyn Roger

Emerging from Rome’s underground scene, Evelyn Roger are set to make their mark with their debut album "Pistole tra i peluche" (Guns Among the Stuffed Toys), releasing May 30th alongside an exclusive release party.

The band blends the raw power of NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal with a fresh, contemporary twist. Their Italian lyrics weave together pirate-inspired imagery—reflected in their aesthetic—with sharp social commentary, creating a compelling contrast. On stage, they transform performances into immersive experiences, balancing crushing riffs and hypnotic melodies with moments of introspection.

With "Pistole tra i peluche", Evelyn Roger bring a breath of fresh air to the Italian metal scene, bridging tradition and modernity in a sound that speaks directly to the audience.

Stay tuned for more!

Raffaello Indri's new album ROYAL WIZARD out on March 29

Magic comes to life in notes with Royal Wizard.
The solo album by Raffaello Indri blends the evocative power of the electric guitar with the timeless elegance of a symphony orchestra. Each composition is a sonic spell, a musical ritual in which the guitar transforms into the first violin of a grand neoclassical symphony.

Through a succession of refined and powerful pieces, Royal Wizard invites the listener into a mystical realm, where melodies carve visions of power and wisdom, mystery and charm. The orchestral arrangements envelop and enhance the expressive voice of the guitar, creating a vibrant dialogue between symphonic lyricism and electric energy.

From solemn harmonies to enchanting virtuosity, each track is a musical formula capable of transporting the listener on an emotional journey.

Among ancient legends and timeless spells, the booklet consists of 24 pages, where each track is accompanied by dedicated artwork and an exclusive incantation.
