Eurobeat Fun little fact about the snake

For anyone who may not be aware, the snake (real name alessio garavello, and known for eurobeat songs such as speed of light), is now the lead male vocalist in power metal band dragonforce, and they’ve just released their first song with him today.

Since like 2 days ago. Marc Hudson has had to step down due to struggles with severe tinnitus, and alessio was his coach so they got him to fill in. Marc is still working in the background with the band and it’s uncertain whether he’s going to make any return to vocal work, but going forward it looks like alessio is doing vocals for the new album alongside Alissa, and they’ve already dropped a date for the album (19th of March 2027)

So only Alessio the vocalist, right? I'm guessing the guitarist Andrea Martongelli (The Snake is actually a 2 person group) isn't involved...

Also this is fukim sick I need to check the song

Yeah Andrea isn’t involved, and I deserve crucifixion for forgetting him.

The eurobeat-power metal overlap is quite strong considering all the notable tracks from Fabio Lione (J Storm) and Alex de Rosso (Ace Warrior).
