Alchimia - Musa out May 5, 2017

"This album represents for me a meeting point between metal and Mediterranean music, particularly Neapolitan music," says Tito. "Its roots are folk-ish. The title is Musa because there has been a sort of inspiring muse, the same one for each song. A mix of melancholic, fierce, moving, and romantic atmospheres, there is a kind of recurring duality track after track."
Alchimia's aim is to create a musical texture in its own right, separate from every other standard, but at the same time follow a precise journey. As such, Musa witnesses the participation of session musicians David Folchitto (Stormlord, Novembre) on drums and Fabio Fraschini (Novembre, Arctic Plateau) on bass. Ghost guitars were played by Gianluca Divirgilio (Arctic Plateau).
Emanuele Tito was born in Vico Equense (Naples) in 1993. He began his live experience with cover bands in the area of Sorrento (Naples). A few years later, he begins to write his first songs, founding his solo project Shape in 2012 and then the parallel project Alchimia in 2015.
