A tribute to the Gods of Music
"Hall of Gods – A Tribute to the Gods of Music" is a conceptual album created by musician and composer Rafael Agostino, offering a unique fusion of classical music and metal. The project pays homage to five legendary composers — Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Grieg, and Carlos Gomes — through compositions that reinterpret their legacy with technical precision, emotional depth, and sonic intensity.
Released as a limited-edition vinyl LP, the album features collaborations with prominent figures from the international metal scene, including Zak Stevens, Chris Caffery (Savatage), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Snowy Shaw (ex-King Diamond, Therion), Ronnie Romero (ex-Rainbow, ex-MSG), Marcelo Pompeu (Korzus), and May Puertas (Torture Squad). Each track is dedicated to a composer and invites the listener into a narrative-driven musical journey that blends virtuosity and power.
A tribute to classical masters in the form of conceptual metal. Each track celebrates a composer and explores their life and work.
