4. SPELLED MOON SHORT BIO
*Lost in the Forest of a Dream, Andy Sarcone Rooney
(Lead Guitarist / Vocalist)
conjured up this hex on a windy night, under the light
of a SPELLED MOON...
*Conceived in a professional studio atmosphere, since
the beginning; and styled, on an eclectic mix of Power
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.
*Stinging with Venomous bass playing style, Ralph
Rieckermann (Scorpions), joined this crusade and took
over the low end for two of those tales. Moving in full
throttle, the band went into gear.
*Following destiny from shore to shore, Mr Rooney, mo-
ved across the mountains, to build a recording studio
within “BLACK GATES”, upon the city of fallen angels, in
Los Angeles California. There he wrote, recorded and
produced almost the entirety of this material.
*Daniel Trajtemberg “DANKER” (Rata Blanca / Mario
Ian / Malon), captured the essence of this musical as-
sembly, and became the visual director, illustrator and
photographer.
*The EP “Forsaken Spells” was released on jan of 2013,
conjuring up a compilation of legends, and every day
situations masked in fantasy tales from long forgotten
times.
Some of them, rooted on real life characters from cen-
turies ago.
*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.
*A determined engineer, Dave Jenkins (Uli John Roth,
Joe Lynn Turner, Matt Sorum, etc.),
mixed this Extended Play at The Wine Cellar Studios in
Burbank California.
*Brad Vance from Red Mastering (Ritchie Blackmore’s
Night, Cannibal Corpse, Fates Warning), contrive the
the final tweaks, at the dusk of 2012.
*Soon after, Mr Jimmy Wiggle (Zakk Wylde, Eddy Van
Halen, Slash), was in charge with the mission of twea-
king and modifying Rooney’s amplifier heads; they
were later used on the full length album’s Guitar Tracks.

Impellitteri), recorded two songs bringing great & tasty
licks to those tunes....
