'No Gravity' are a new(ish) progressive power metal outfit and the brainchild of renowned guitarist Simone Fiorletta. Their debut album ‘Worlds In Collision’ features some of the most illustrious vocalists in the power/prog metal field and was released on Lion Music on 18th March 2011.
 
 
"Conceived in early 2010 from the ashes of Italian progressive metallers Moonlight Comedy, Simone Fiorletta’s intention was to enclose in a single album the best singers of the Power/Prog world with each track tailored for each vocalists individual style; and what a selection of vocalists No Gravity have enrolled!

With Andy Kuntz (Vanden Plas), Michele Luppi (Killing Touch, ex Vision Divine), Fabio Lione (Rhapsody Of Fire, Vision Divine), Mark Basile (DGM), Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth) and Emiliano Germani (Moonlight Comedy) providing the vocal angle this release makes a serious statement of intent from this new band.

The No Gravity line-up is completed by an equally skilled band. In addition to Simone Fiorletta’s virtuoso guitar work we have second guitarist Davide Perruzza, keyboardist Andrea De Paoli, bassist Andrea Casali and drummer Marco Aiello who all form a formidable unit with instrumental prowess and the delivery to rival the genre’s big names.

The music for ‘Worlds In Collision’ was entirely written and arranged by Simone Fiorletta whilst each tracks vocalists were given the task of composing their own lyrics and vocal melodies. The album was recorded, mastered and mixed by Fiorletta at his studio; with the exception of the vocal tracks which were recorded at various studios of the singers own choice.

Stylistically ‘Worlds In Collision’ includes many facets of modern Power-Prog Metal. There are moments of pure virtuosity but all the time there is the will of the song coming first and foremost. The listener will find numerous musical textures with moments of light and shade, dark and heavy themes and stunning musicianship which continue to reveal new depths on each subsequent listen. Yet No Gravity have managed to craft an album that is instantly listenable and despite the numerous vocalists the albums has its own distinct sound - ones that will appeal to fans of the leading names in prog/power metal as well as the more adventurous metal fan in general.

With 'Worlds In Collision’ No Gravity have produced a superb debut album and marks an exciting new chapter in the career of one of Italy’s most respected musicians".
