Signum Draconis is a heavy metal opera of Inferno, from The Divine Comedy written by Dante Alighieri. Featuring 17 songs by the band all sung in English, the double CD album is the first in a triptych of the complete work of Dante's magnum opus with Purgatory and Paradise to follow, and will also feature duets with selected special guest vocalists, narrations of selected chants, and an orchestral accompaniment by the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra and Choir. Signum Draconis takes their name from the medieval knights' Order of the Dragon, and has opted for a classic 80s-influenced metal sound in homage to the rock and metal icons that inspired them to be musicians, and aim to produce a truly musical, timeless and epic recording that will absorb and reward from repeated and dedicated listening. Overall, this project took four years to compose the music for the band as well as the orchestra and along the way Oscar Grace searched for the companions who would join him on this voyage of grand musical ambitions. Once all the compositions were finished the band set about recording in the Domination Studio of San Marino, taking advantage of the experience and professionalism of Simone Mularoni as a sound technician. For the recording of the orchestral parts, Signum Draconis chose to work with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra, having spoken with the director, David Hernando Rico, who helped them enormously and who showed such enthusiasm for the music and the project overall. Produced by Simone Mularoni & Oscar Grace at Domination Studio. Special guests include: RENATO CARROZZO as Storyteller CHIARA MANESE as Beatrice MARK BOALS as Virgil BEN JACKSON as Charon KSENIA GLONTY as Francesca LUCA PAOLINI as Pluto ANDREA RANFA as Brunetto Latini FREDERICK POLLOCK as Ulysses SIMONE MULARONI as Nimrod 'The Titan' OLEG SMIRNOFF as Count Ugolino
