Bassist/composer ALBERTO RIGONI, of Italian progressive metal band TWINSPIRITS, returns with his new solo album, Rebirth, which was released by Nightmare Records on April 26th, and will now see it's North American release on May 23rd via Nightmare Records.

Rebirth shows an extreme variety of tunes, some with voice and some instrumental, it's a union of experimental research blended with a solid backbone of melody. Bassists around the world will want to witness his elegant simplicity to bring the bass instrument to the forefront without loosing the rhythem and foundation of the music.

Alberto successfully combines rock-prog-fusion, with hard-rock-ambient creating a blend that suggests a poetic mix that is free from any defined genre yet remains memorable an even catchy.

Rebirth also features well known musicians including Gavin Harrison (PORCUPINE TREE, KING CRIMSON) John Macaluso (ARK, JAMES LABRIE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), Michael Manring and Yves Carbonne, swedish singer Jonas Erixon (ALICANTE), guitarist Tommy Ermolli (TwinSpirits) and Simone Mularoni (DGM, EMPYRIOS), keyboard players Federico Solazzo (ALEXIA), Andrea Pavanello (CENTRICA) , Filippo Lui and Emanuele Casali (DGM, ASTRA).
