Bio:
Italian melodic/progressive metal band Stamina is the brainchild of guitarist, songwriter and producer Luca Sellitto. Since the beginning, the band’s aim has been to create a personal style of music, combining a wide range of influences ranging from melodic power metal to progressive rock, to hard rock and fusion. During the years the band has released three full-length albums featuring many guest musicians, including Henrik Brockmann (ex-Royal Hunt, Evil Masquerade), Kenny Lubcke (ex-Narita, André Andersen, backing vocalist of Royal Hunt), Göran Edman (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Brazen Abbot, etc.) and Nils Molin (Dynatzy). In April/May 2012, Stamina embarked on their first European tour, including shows in Germany, Austria, Holland, Spain and the north of Italy. During the second leg of the tour, the band had the opportunity to open for Danish rock quintet Royal Hunt in honour of their 20th anniversary world tour. Today, Stamina consists of Alessandro Granato (v), Luca Sellitto (g), Andrea Barone (k) and Mario "Uryo" Urciuoli (b), plus the additional musicians, Andrea Stipa (d), Jacopo DiDomenico (bv), Donata Greco (fl) and Giulia Silveri (ce). Band leader Luca Sellitto says: "Our new studio effort, ‘System Of Power’ is the most mature release from us up until now, displaying a slightly more aggressive approach, an even increased level of technical proficiency and a wider sonic spectrum than ever before.” Stamina’s fourth album “System Of Power” will be released on German label Pride & Joy Music on February 24, 2017 and is tailor made for fans of melodic prog metal in general, in the vein of early Symphony X, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Dream Theater, Royal Hunt, Angra and many more.
Album:
Italian melodic/progressive metal band STAMINA is the brainchild of ongwriter/guitarist Luca Sellitto. In June 2001, Luca got in contact with keyboard player Andrea Barone, who was the first to join the new venture. After more than a year spent auditioning various singers and musicians, the line‐up of STAMINA was completed with the addition of the lead singer Giorgio Adamo, bass player Roberto Chiumiento, and drummer Cristian Silvestri.Since the beginning, the band’s aim has been to create a personal style of music, combining a wide range of influences ranging from melodic rock to progressive rock, to hard‐rock and fusion.STAMINA recorded the first unofficial demo The Demo Songs in February/March 2003 and the second demo Here To Stay in July 2004. Both demos gained exceptionally great reviews in various Italian webzines and magazines, and the band started to promote its name playing live everywhere in the south of Italy.In September 2006, the band entered into the studio to record the debut full‐length album Permanent Damage, which was released on Italian label Heart of Steel Records in December 2007. The critics and fans response was so overwhelmingly good, that during 2008 STAMINA was invited to open for many various national and international artists in Europe.In October 2009, the band entered the studio to record the second album Two Of A Kind. This time Danish singers Henrik Brockmann (ex Royal Hunt, Evil Masquerade) and Kenny Lubcke (ex Narita,Andre Andersen, backing vocal of Royal Hunt) took part on various tracks as special guests.In August 2010, the band signed a new record deal with German label Ice Warrior Records (a division of Rock It Up Records). They released the new album worldwide on October 8, 2010. The critics and fans response was once again excellent, and in April 2011 the album charted in Japan in the Top 50 Import Disks Charts, published by notorious Japanese magazine “BURNN”.STAMINA spent the most part of 2011 playing many concerts in the south of Italy to promote the new album. That same year, two of the original members left the band. After several weeks of auditions, bass player Lorenzo Zarone joined the band and singer Jacopo DiDomenico was hired as “session lead singer” to complete the live shows scheduled for that year. Now both of them are permanent members of the band.In April/May 2012, STAMINA embarked on their European Tour. During the second leg of the tour,the band had the opportunity to open for Danish rock quintet Royal Hunt in honor of their 20th anniversary world tour.The band has just finished recording their third studio album Perseverance, which features Swedish singers Göran Edman (ex Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Brazen Abbot, etc.) and Nils Molin(Dynazty) as special guests on some tracks.
