TRICK OR TREAT are a crazy bunch of musicians: they are one tight power metal band and they sure deliver the goods on stage, but they also like to share some fun with their audience – that’s why everybody loves them. Formed back in 2002 by lead guitarist Luca Cabri and initially performing as a tribute to Helloween, they quickly got very popular and played the most renown live clubs around Italy: after a couple of intense years on the stage, they ... recorded the “Like Donald Duck” 4-piece demo and signed a deal with Valery Records for their first full-length, named “Evil Needs Candy Too”, which came out in 2006. The debut got a terrific response and put TRICK OR TREAT back on the road for the following two years, playing over 100 gigs in Europe and U.S.A. Nevertheless, the guys kept writing more songs and in 2009 they gave birth to their second LP, called “Tin Soldiers”, which features Michael Kiske (Helloween, Place Vendôme) on two songs and Michele Luppi (Vision Divine, Killing Touch) on another one: as expected, the record receives a brilliant feedback on the scene (for instance, it breaks on the Japanese charts at the 29th place) and the band plays some top festivals, like the Agglutination, the Palasharp I-Metal Fest and the Italian Gods Of Metal. Last but absolutely not least, TRICK OR TREAT have also been recently selected as opener band for Helloween’s “The 7 Sinners World Tour 2010/11” together with special guest Stratovarius. in early 2012, Luca Turilli announced that the Trick or Treat’s singer Alessandro Conti is the new lead singer of the band “Luca Turilli’s RHAPSODY”. the first album: “Ascending to infinity” is already a hit in metal-charts all over the world. In the 2012, Trick or Treat come back with a new album, a concept inspired by the novel of Richard Adams “Wathersip down”, which features Andre Matos on one track. The album’s called “Rabbits’ Hill pt.1″. In 2014 Trick or Treat toured as support to Sonata Arctica during the "Pariah's child" european tour (21 shows) the 8 july 2016 the band releases the new album "rabbits' Hill pt.2" (the first with Frontiers records) the first feedbacks are just incredible, also thanks to the guest singer that appear on it: Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) Tim "ripper" Owens (ex-Judas Priest) and Sara Squadrani (Ancients Bards - Ayreon) TRICK OR TREAT? Make your choice… the 11th of February, After a sensational crowdfunding campaign (18k € earned, 250% of the goal reached, the best result ever reached for a rock record on Musicraiser) Re-Animated is available! 19 of the most loved cartoon themes songs since the 80’s to nowadays, 16 duets with some of the most renowned artist in the italian metal scene, like Roberto Tiranti (Labyrith), Michele Luppi (Whitesnake, Secret Sphere), and more! First of all the guests, there’s Giorgio Vanni, the original voice of some of the most famous themes, that joined us in the metal version of “what’s my destiny Dragon Ball”! Born as a spin-off project of the band, Re-Animated is an idea that takes form many yers ago, always postponed to prioritize the original works of the bands, it is now reality, and the result is something way more excellent than expected. As always, a big part of this result is credit of the mighty Simone Mularoni from Domination Studios. Re-animated is a proudly self-production record, or even better, a co-production record, with the support of our incredible fan-base. It’s a party album, made with a total new workflow, with the main purpose of live again those emotions that only cartoon themes can give, and make them re-live with a new metal sound that represent us as a band nowadays. This is an experience, shared with lots of our lifetime friends and great musicians met on the road during the years, and it’s also kind a tribute to our friendship!See more [+]
