Italian hard rockers BLACK STARS have officially welcomed Gianluca "Giangio" Manzini (ex-King Lizard) as their new keyboardist. Drawing on a background spanning rock and progressive music, Manzini fuses the vintage warmth of the Hammond organ with modern synth textures — bolstering the band's sound without compromising its dynamic range.
The band commented: "Bringing Giangio into the lineup has perfected our overall sound. His style integrated seamlessly with the guitar lines, allowing us to achieve an ideal harmonic synthesis. The immediate result in the rehearsal room is an extremely balanced, powerful, and uncompromising sound."
