*Lost in the Forest of a Dream, Andy Sarcone Rooney
(Lead Guitarist / Vocalist)

of a SPELLED MOON...

Metal and Neo Classical flavors, with movie score bac-
kgrounds.
The tales that start this journey were written, and the
magic began to happen.
*The recording sessions soared to new heights of pro-
duction value at Tony Bongiovi’s POWER STATION Stu-
dios (Jimmy Hendrix, The Ramones, Bonjovi, Sting) with
main manager, Rob Roy, and chief engineer, David
Levy.
*Kicking hard Patrick Johansson (Yngwie Malmsteen
/ W.A.S.P), joined ranks to play the mighty drums, brin-
ging a marvelous style and performance.

ved across the mountains, to build a recording studio

*Countless moons passed by in the making of this tas-
ter,
bearing a previously unreleased Scorpion’s song (writ-
ten by Ralph Rieckermann and Grace Sharington).
Now called “Hidden in the Winds” (new lyrics and
arraignments by Andy S Rooney).
The following power ballad, “Soul Mates,” chronicles a
man’s struggle to cope with the loss of his eternal lover.
Triumphantly finishing with the clincher of the trio, a
thunderous call to battle aptly named “A War of Sha
dows.” Which tells about a warrior that the gods puni-
sh to live in eternity. He finds in the moon, a friend who
never listens; however, he still asks her to intercede with
the kings of the heavens, to save his damned soul.
