Perseo Miranda (born Angelo Spaggiari) is an Italian vocalist and songwriter, and founder of the heavy metal band Perseo Miranda.
He's been active since 1980 but only recently obtained a discrete attention in the music scene.[1]
Biography
He started in 1980 participating in various radio show (in particular Italian channels ‘’Rai 2’’ and ‘’Rai 3’’),[2] but his main passion was the music, which he regards as the main means of expression.[3] He found inspiration in artists like Alice Cooper, David Bowie and Black Sabbath.[4][5]
In 1980 he released his first self-produced album, called Perseo Miranda and His Theatre, and the following year the CD single "I sayd I look away".
Then Miranda devoted himself to teaching guitar in various schools, recording some vocals in many pop rock albums and playing in many different bands (from hard rock to heavy metal, punk, gothic metal, blues and other generes).[6][7]
He returned to the music scene in 2006, releasing the album Light and Darkness
Some Italian webzines, as Metallized.it, described it as a "classic heavy metal album with strong dark and gothic influences".[8]
In 2007 Mirands released the album Evolution of the spirits and in 2008 Parallel Dimensions. The last one had some good reviews: Italian webzine OndaAlternativa noted some changes in the style, moving from gothic metal to a kind of "trash-prog metal",.[9]Powermetal.it described this work as hard rock music with modern ideas, especially in the guitar work.[10]
In 2010 Miranda signed for the Italian label Erga Edition. Praise my day was the first Miranda's album produced by Erga Edition.[11]
This album gained attention from some Italian magazines. Rock Hard said that "Miranda is one of the few artists that really sings and interprets in different ways, depending from the song atmosphere".[12]
Under the same label Miranda released in 2011 the single CD (2 tracks) A silence that screams-In a Broken dreams, and some months later the CD A Silence That Screams.[13] Some reviews such as Italia di Metallo judicated it as a pure heavy metal work with dark and progressive episodes.[14]
Metal Maniac magazine judicated it as a hard and complex album, with hard rock-heavy metal songs, but also progressive sounds.[15]
The title track "A Silence That Screams", was also included in the Inferno Sounds compilation, attached to Inferno Rock magazine.[16]
