Mastercastle is a heavy metal band formed in 2008 in Italy by the guitar player Pier Gonella and the singer Giorgia Gueglio. ==History== Mastercastle were founded in January 2008 by the guitar player Pier Gonella and the singer Giorgia Gueglio. The pair had several music projects in the past and wanted to try something different. No fixed genre was chosen with the emphasis being on producing music in a natural way. The result was a natural mix of the virtuoso guitar style of Pier with the individual female voice of Giorgia Gueglio which worked well together. The pair wrote a great number of songs and recorded a 4 songs promo to gain label interest. In the meantime the line-up was completed by the drummer Alessandro Bissa aka Bix and the bassist Steve Vawamas; their joining changed the initial project into a real band and the name Mastercastle was settled on for the new real band).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mastercastle biography from Lion Music web site )〕 On July 2008 they sent the demo to Lion Music who offered a deal which leads us up to the release of Mastercastle's debut album ''The Phoenix'' on 17 April 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mastercastle Biography – Lion Music web site )〕 The album met with widespread critical acclaim and the video for "Princess of Love" rapidly clocked up over 100,000 views on YouTube.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mastercastle will release his debut album on 17 April 2009 )〕 The band had also a deal with the label ''Spiritual Beast'' for a Japanese release.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mastercastle The Phoenix, Japan release )〕 .
