May 2013 comes with the best of omens for the melodic rock genre.
DEFOX & HEART OF STEEL RECORDS release the debut album of virtuoso melodic hard rock guitarist/song writer
ANASTASIO FARINI “LIL’ ANGEL”. The production of the album is amazing and all the songs are melodic treasures!
Anastasio’s guitars are sounding majestic, a melodic pandemonium!
This album is going to take you back some years when “Hair Metal” and pure melodic hard rock music ruled the
music scene! Now it’s time for music to take control as always, 9 tracks are going to keep us company for a
melodic moment in time! The album starts with a melody that’s so divine that makes a spirit rise up into the
skies! I am talking about “Lil' Angel”. Either listening to the music or just paying attention to the lyrics
the feeling remains the same, because both of those have strength of their own. Combined they create a superb
track that is unavoidable to reach out and touch your heart.
The fact that all tracks of “ANASTASIO FARINI” are unique it’s not luckily, that appears in every interpretation.
“Sweet Lovin' Girl” performed by Rob Mancini proves that his voice abilities are beyond music borders,
he can sing from the smoothest ballad to a powerful track!

“Anytime All The Time” is spreading around its mesmerizing tunes! An atmospheric mist slowly brings the elegant
melodies of the guitar as an offering to the moonlight sky.
“Brother To Brother”, has splendid guitars that “boost” the track on a railway that leads to our hearts!
“I Will Be Loving You Forever” and “The Phantom Of The Opera (Instrumental)”, have the same high quality like
all other songs in this album.
This album is a work of art and you should not miss to have it in your music collection!
