Hi!
My name is Rocco, I’m a producer/audio engineer, guitarist and content creator from Italy and I like to do all kinds of things related to metal music and gear.
I’ve been working as a producer, mix engineer and session musician for metal bands like Rotting Christ, Kampfar, Taur-Im-Duinath, Release The Blackness, La Janara, Darkvoid and more.
I have a content creation/solo project “Rocco Minichiello” where I make metal covers of anime and videogame music. I post a new video/song each month on YouTube and all streaming platforms, averaging 60k monthly listeners on Spotify.

My main original project is called “Release The Blackness”, a Progressive Death Metal band in which I am the main composer, singer and guitarist, with 1 EP and a full-length album released and a new Album in the making.

Solar guitars has grown quickly through the years and after trying out a couple of models I finally got why there was this much hype for the brand. Being a Producer and Live Guitarist I can’t think of hitting the studio or the stage without my Evertune-equipped Solar!
