about

Emerging artist Pete Rafael is set to captivate music enthusiasts worldwide with the release of his debut album, "Elysian Citadel." Produced by Bob Katsionis, known for his exceptional work with renowned bands such as Firewind, Outloud, Serious Black, Warrior Path, and more, this album promises to thrill all fans of guitar-driven melodic prog-metal!

Enveloped in a melodic and progressive soundscape of 11 brand new compositions, "Elysian Citadel" showcases Pete Rafael’s talent as a guitarist and composer. With awe-inspiring intensity and flawless execution, he delivers a collection of tracks that seamlessly blend elements from his favorite guitarists like John Petrucci, Zakk Wylde, Michaell Amott, and Jeff Loomis.

The line-up for "Elysian Citadel" was Pete Rafael (songwriting and guitars) and Bob Katsionis (drums, bass, and keyboards). Female vocal powerhouse Jo Kotrotsou (Bad Habits) sang "Ecstasy of Love" and underground legend Rusty Cooley performed a guest solo on "Warrior Within". The album was mixed and mastered by the legendary Fredrik Nordstrom at Fredman Studios

Pete Rafael and Bob Katsionis have birthed an album that is drawing inspiration from their shared musical influences and experiences and bands like Dream Theater, Arch Enemy, Nevermore, Firewind, and such, combining intricate guitar riffs, and captivating melodies with a progressive, technical edge.
