ADAGIO hires swedish singer Mats Levén for KAMELOT European tour.

 

We are very pleased to announce that Swedish singer Mats Levén (Ex Malmsteen/Thérion) will join Adagio for their upcoming European tour in support to Kamelot.

 

Stéphan: "Mats is an incredible singer and performer, with a tremendous technique. His unique tone, both aggressive and melodic, fits Adagio's music wondefully. So, we're very much looking forward to meeting all of you guys next month on the tour with Kamelot.....We're fuckin' impatient to share a dark musical moment with you !!"

We are very pleased to announce that Stéphan Forté is now endorsed by the prestigious amp company Mesa Boogie.
He plays a Dual Rectifier head and the new Mark V head. Cabs are Mesa Rectifier 4X12" with Celestion vintage 30

Stéphan: "I am extremely happy and proud to join the Mesa Boogie team as it represents the absolute definition of "Wall Of Sound" since so many years, and whether you're playing bluesy or thrashing like a maniac, the tone is simply pure, accurate and of course powerful as hell !!
By combining the crushing sonorities of the Dual Rectifier and the subtleness of the Mark V, the possibilities are endless. Beautiful low ends, incredible brillance, ....It has the most outsanding tone and the tightest response I've ever heard and had the chance to play."
