Of Shadows And Lights (shortened OSAL) is the moniker used by Angelo Pitone from Bari, Southern Italy.
His musical adventures began in 2019 when the EP Visions was released. At the beginning of 2021, he released his debut album Almost Prophetic Visions And Thoughts signed by Grammy Award Giovanni Versari for mastering. Unaware Passenger was featured on All New Rock and thanks to Spotify's editorial backing, APVAT got recognition on several music blogs worldwide.
Among the most significant, stand out some reviews in which the authors claimed:
'Poisoned Heart has a slower start highlighting Angelo's vocal range in its purest form before it lands in a Queen-esque finish – love it! ?' (John, C., Radio Wigwam, 2022) | UK;
'From beginning to end Almost Prophetic Visions And Thoughts is just a great record' (Smith, B., 2021) | US;
'His debut album arrives straight in your face like a velvet punch, a clear sign of his artistic maturity' (Rockit, 2021) | IT.
Thanks to a combination of massive instrumental arrangements and soaring vocals, OSAL has been heavily influenced by Queen, Freddie Mercury, Led Zeppelin, Muse, Nothing But Thieves, Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, As Tall As Lions, The Dear Hunter. His music rides through the popular Rock and Pop anthems of the latest three decades, including modern Indie Rock, Alternative Rock grooves and cinematic quality songs.
OSAL recently received a nomination for the 2021 WIGWAM Online Radio Awards Best Indie Rock Act.
