Gaming composer JEROEN TEL to appear on heavy rock band STAGMA's debut album.
Stagma, the heavy rock collaboration formed by composer/guitarist Alexandre Santos, and featuring bassist Joe Petro, lead guitarist Neil Fraser, and drummers Vinny Appice and Patrick Johansson, are delighted to announce that their debut album, Stagma, will also feature a cinematic introduction from Jeroen Tel.
The legendary Dutch composer and video-game pioneer, and co-founder of the Maniacs of Noise, will provide a newly-composed introduction to the album. Best known in the 1980s and early 1990s for writing numerous computer game tunes for the Commodore 64, Jerome Tel has produced a range of electronic music, from electronic orchestral pieces to dubstep. Now he will be bringing his unique talents to Stagma's heavy rock anthems.
Stagma was formed in late 2015 when Alex Santos, guitarist, producer and composer with Scar For Life, joined forces with Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio), Neil Fraser (TEN, Rage of Angels) and Joe Petro (Heaven and Earth, Spelled Moon) with the intention of forming a new concept heavy rock band. Stagma was born out of this collaboration, which has grown with the addition of drummer Patrick Johansson (Yngwie Malmsteen, W.A.S.P.) and featuring the input of guest drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio, Queensrÿche) on one track. The band's debut studio album is due for release in 2017.
Stagma will be planning performances surrounding the release in the coming months and new dates will be listed on the band's website.
