I am very excited to announce that the brand-new Cineasta album, ‘Unreel’, will be officially released on July 23rd via Lion Music Record Label.
While ‘Unreel’ is primarily an instrumental journey, I had the absolute honor of collaborating with some incredible vocalists who brought these tracks to life:
Sombra – lending hauntingly beautiful vocals to two tracks sung in Portuguese.
Mark Boals – the legendary former Yngwie Malmsteen singer.
David Reed Watson – delivering a powerhouse performance.
The album will be hitting all major streaming services on release day, with a special vinyl release coming a little bit later.

This video is a little teaser from our track “Ecliptica.” Even though we ran into some unexpected roadblocks that pushed back our sessions, the momentum is back. The guitars are officially locked in, and we’re heading into the studio tomorrow to track Sombra’s vocals to wrap the whole thing up. We are this close!

We are deep in the studio, and it’s time to pull back the curtain on our recording sessions! Check out this exclusive drum play-through for Waiting For The Wind To Turn, a brand-new track from our upcoming album.
Watching Vicente Ferreira lay down these tracks is a masterclass in precision and power—he absolutely crushed this session.
We’re putting the finishing touches on the new material, and we can’t wait for you to hear the full story.
Keep your eyes peeled—big news is coming very soon!

I’m thrilled to announce that the new CINEASTA album is finally underway!
The last year was a heavy one. I had to isolate myself to make sense of everything, and I channeled all those powerful feelings into these new songs. I’ve written 10 new tracks that are a direct reflection of that journey.
I’m bringing back some amazing talent. Drums are recorded by the incredible Vicente Ferreira (the drummer from the debut album), violins are recorded again by the talented German D and I’m also excited to announce a fantastic new addition: the amazing Portuguese singer Sombra will feature on a few tracks!
The rest of the album will be instrumental and will maintain the same feel as the debut album.
I look forward to sharing more updates with you all very soon!
