The Grandmaster is another exciting musical project put together by Frontiers President and A&R; director, Serafino Perugino. Taking center stage this time is a musical alliance between the outstanding Brazilian singer Nando Fernandes, a vocalist whose style follows in the tradition of the great metal singers of the '80s and '90s (think Ronnie James Dio, Jorn Lande, Russell Allen, etc.) with one of the power metal genre's truly great guitarists, Edguy's Jens Ludwig. The end result of this powerful combination is a muscular, melodic metal album which offers a great take on traditional German power metal with strong elements of melody incorporated into the musical mix. With superb production courtesy of the ubiquitous and multi-talented Alessandro Del Vecchio, The Grandmaster's debut album is sure to be one of the most talked about melodic metal releases of the year.
