Bio:
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″ TRICK OR TREAT? Make your choice…
Album:
TRICK OR TREAT have published the cover of "Re-animated", their new studio album containing versions of cartoon classics. Dragonball, David the Gnome or Pikatchu, are some of the series that, under the direction of Alessandro Conti, vocalist of the band, have reviewed for the occasion.The dream of every metalhead nerd has finally seen the light: an entire album of heavy metal covers dedicated to the initials of cartoons that have enlivened the afternoons of many longtime admirers of heavy sounds. To give life to this forbidden pleasure we thought the Trick Or Treat, who for several years had already approached this matter by presenting live some songs ("David Gnome My Friend", "Robin Hood" and "Daitarn 3") and thus making the happiness of the fans under the stage. "Re-Animated" is an extremely anomalous album in the discography of the Modena combo, so much to opt for self-production through crowdfunding on the Musicraiser platform. The result is a record composed of no less than 19 tracks that try to recover the classics of the '80s and' 90s. Depending on personal taste, listeners may be satisfied with the choice made, however some famous pieces ("Devil Man", "Steel Robot Jeeg", "Ken The Warrior", "What's My Destiny Dragonball") can be heard in their new and sparkling metal versions, surrounded by others rather fanciful.Beyond the pleasant rewriting performed on all the tracks, those that jump the most are the ones interpreted by Cristina D'Avena in the original versions ("Batman", "Jem", "David Gnomo Amico Mio", "Prince Valiant "," The Mystery of the Blue Stone "," Robin Hood "). Definitely drowned at the time almost always by a flat and sugary interpretation, in the performance of Trick Or Treat can finally come to life, fully showing all the qualities that could only be understood at the time of their transmission on television. Merit also, without wanting to remove any value to the test of Alessandro Conti, special guests who further embellish the individual tracks. Chiara Tricarico (Teodasia) on "The Mystery of the Blue Stone" or Sara Squadrani (Ancient Bards) on "Jem" show us finally how it should be a real female singer on an acronym, giving personality and a greater vocal range. The violin tour in "David Gnomo Amico Mio", instead, at the time taken from the song "Samarcanda" by Roberto Vecchioni - who in turn had recovered it from "Dance Dance Dance" by Neil Young -, buys a whole new vitality: merit of the combination of folk / power that binds the Trick Or Treat of Conti to Elvenking by Damnagoras, more than a guessed guest of this song. The radiance of the original goes well with the happy metal of Modena.Looking at the classics, those pieces certainly more rooted in the memory of those in the 80s, the "Steel Robot Jeeg" by Conti and Giacomo Voli (Rhapsody Of Fire) does not leave much to be desired: between the keyboards power and the apt choice of Flights that surely can reach the treble of Fogus, original singer of this acronym, the song flows away like a burst of energy, a concentrate of ignorance and power that beats without too much difficulty the version made by Pelù a few years ago which, apart from a good surf atmosphere, had little to do with the original, especially under the vocal plan. The same goes for "Ken Il Guerriero", which requires little restyling, just enough to make it a little metal. The atmosphere of the original remains perfectly unchanged and the additions of electric guitar that give variety increase the degree of epicity of a piece that will remain in the empyrean of the acronyms. "Devil Man" and "Daitarn 3" also belong by right to this cartoon character. Steva Deathless (Deathless Legacy) on the first and Michele Luppi (Secret Sphere, Whitesnake) on the second do not lack respect for the originals. If with "Daitarn 3" the work was definitely easy, given a certain amount of heaviness of the historical piece, with "Devil Man" you opt for a faithful version, only slightly more heavy. The guitar work on the piece dedicated to one of the most famous robottoni leaves open-mouthed, while in both cases the two guest singers become authors of an interpretation that is nothing short of perfect. Four songs that alone are worth all the purchase price.In the 90s section, the presence of Giorgio Vanni is definitely smiling as a guest in one of his songs: "What's My Destiny Dragonball" acquires a happy atmosphere typical of the sound of Trick Or Treat that is a good thing since the presence of Vanni makes this song the least personal of the whole lot. In fact, we do not have that surprise effect present in the other pieces and the interpretation, albeit at a good level, refers too much to the original. "Beyblade - Metal Masters" is a pleasant surprise taken from Vanni's discography. In this case, the special guest is Danny Metal, a musician well known for his metal versions of songs that in the original of heavy have very little and of initials of cartoons.
