Ryoji Shinomoto

Melodic death metal mastermind Ryoji Shinomoto unleashes “Vivaldi’s Summer Goes HEAVY METAL”, teaming up with acclaimed cellist Wataru Mukai to turn Antonio Vivaldi’s fiery concerto into a full-throttle metal assault. Forget polite baroque etiquette, this is a fretboard inferno where razor-sharp shredding collides with soaring cello lines, proving that the fastest movements of The Four Seasons were practically waiting centuries to discover distortion. It’s equal parts conservatory precision and mosh-pit velocity, sounding like Vivaldi accidentally wandered into a guitar clinic armed with blast beats. The performance is part of the project “Vivaldi: Selections from The Four Seasons (THE METALLICAL CLASSIC),” with a full album available for pre-order and release.
