Le chanteur quitte le groupe:
U.K. metallers POWER QUEST have issued the following update:
"We are very sad to announce that Alessio Garavello will be leaving
POWER QUEST after the festival shows in September. Alessio has been the
voice of POWER QUEST ever since the 'Wings of Forever' album back in
2002, and has also had two stints of playing rhythm guitar in the band
as well. In that time he has established himself as one of the top
power metal vocalists in the business."
Commented keyboardist and founding member Steve Williams: "I have
to say I was surprised when I got the call from Alessio telling me the
news. I can hardly believe it is seven years since a fresh-faced,
21-year-old Italian came over to record for the first time. We didn't
know it then but it was the start of a great friendship, which will
transcend band membership and all that.
"We always say in POWER QUEST that you only get one life and you
have to make the absolute most of it. Sometimes that involved difficult
decisions such as the one Alessio has made. I fully respect and support
his decision and wish him all the best in his future musical
endeavours.
"I'd like to thank Al for all his hard work and commitment to the
cause over the years and, following the departure of Steve Scott
earlier this year, it is truly the end of an era.”
Added Alessio: "After a long journey together with my band mates in
POWER QUEST, I've decided to choose a different musical path. We've
passed through so many experiences and good/bad moments together that
will always be part of me and of my life, and this has created a really
strong friendship between us. It's been some awesome years of recording
and touring and it is sad to write these lines, but it's for a good
cause: POWER QUEST needs to be fronted by someone that really deserves
to be in the first row singing those great songs. It was me for seven
years, now it's time to pass the torch.
"I just want to thank from the bottom of my heart Steve, Andrea,
Francesco and Oliver, all the great musicians that has been part of
POWER QUEST and every fan that loved what we've created playing
together!! A big thanks to our great manager Manuela and our road crew
Simon and Paul. You simply rock! It's time for me to face different
musical challenges and to see where I'll head with my new rock band in
London!"
POWER QUEST is starting the search to find a world-class vocalist
to front the band and to jump straight into working on the band's fifth
record. If you think you have what it takes, please contact Steve
Williams at SteveW@power-quest.co.uk
and include a photo, biography and both audio and video examples of
your work. Applicants must be willing to tour and rehearse as required.
