Ryoji Shinomoto

Ryoji Shinomoto unleashes a blistering neoclassical heavy metal reimagining of “Vivaldi’s Spring Goes HEAVY METAL”, transforming Antonio Vivaldi’s timeless Spring concerto into a fret-melting collision of Baroque elegance and modern metal firepower. Joined by acclaimed cellist Wataru Mukai, the RYUJIN mastermind trades powdered-wig sophistication for high-gain wizardry, proving that 18th-century classical music was basically proto-metal waiting for distortion pedals to be invented. The newly released video showcases the duo’s dazzling technical chemistry, with soaring cello passages and virtuosic guitar shredding locked in a battle worthy of a symphonic boss fight. The track is part of the project Vivaldi: Selections From The Four Seasons (Metal Guitar & Cello), indicating a broader series of metallic reinterpretations of Vivaldi’s legendary works.
