Japanese guitar hero Nozomu Wakai will blast his way onto the world stage with his project Nozomu Wakai’s DESTINIA, featuring music composed, written, and produced by Nozomu himself.
Nozomu Wakai, hailed in Japan and abroad as an artist who could bring forth a rebirth of authentic and melodic heavy metal in the 21st century, has already released two albums, “Requiem For A Scream” (2014) and “Anecdote Of The Queens” (2015), with his project Nozomu Wakai’s DESTINIA. He has been recognized in the Japanese hard rock and heavy metal scene for his contributions on guitar, compositions, and sound directions on releases by the country's leading musicians and anime's.
In 2016, during his quest for a new musical direction for DESTINIA, Nozomu witnessed a performance by Lords Of Black, featuring vocalist Ronnie Romero, at Loud Park? 16, a metal festival in Japan. Though Nozomu was well aware of Ronnie's abilities, he was hit hard by the new Ritchie Blackmore Official Site's Rainbow singer. A direct offer was made and accepted with Ronnie joining Nozomu to participate as the vocalist in his Destinia project.
Having set his course for the direction of the new compositions, Nozomu made the decision to offer Marco Mendoza and Tommy Aldridge, a rhythm section hugely influential to him, the bass and drum positions, respective to add extra strength to the music. It was an obvious choice for Nozomu's music as these positions would demand the presence of two musicians with a vast knowledge of the history of hard rock and heavy metal. Upon listening to Nozomu's music, Marco and Tommy were thrilled to get involved.
Lineup:
Nozomu Wakai: Guitar
