Few artists bridge the gap between technical guitarwork and sheer creative soul quite like Dimitrio “Dimitry” Scopelliti. From his early days as a teenager in Vercelli, Italy, picking up the guitar for the first time, Dimitry has evolved into a global powerhouse. His latest offering, ‘The Revolution of Evolution’, is more than just an album; it is a culmination of a storied career that has spanned six continents and countless prestigious collaborations.
Dimitry’s resume reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the music industry. Having shared stages with the likes of Marty Friedman and Laurent Bernadac, and worked alongside titans such as the Bissonette Brothers, Marco Minnemann, and Mattias IA Eklundh, he has honed a sound that is as precise as it is emotive. Whether he is leading the charge with his progressive metalcore outfit, Arcadia, or showcasing his own hand-built Inspira Guitars at NAMM, his energy remains relentless.
The new record, ‘The Revolution of Evolution’, serves as his most cohesive and ambitious work to date. Across ten instrumental tracks, Dimitry balances heavy, modern metal grooves with cinematic textures that feel both expansive and intimate.
His sixth album, and arguably his most complete and musically expansive, ‘The Revolution of Evolution’ sees Dimitry eagerly taking to new ground. Backed by ten tracks of instrumental prog metal, he charts a journey through three years of creative evolution, with every instrument performed and produced by Dimitry himself. It’s a bold and brilliant narrative that Dimitry explained sees him coming full circle, harking back to his first EP, ‘Evolution’, and representing the final chapter in a grand journey.”
By blending his roles as a virtuosic performer and an innovative producer, Dimitry has crafted a record that pushes the boundaries of the genre while remaining firmly rooted in melodic storytelling. ‘The Revolution of Evolution’ is a testament to an artist who refuses to stand still, inviting listeners to join him on a journey through the very vanguard of progressive music.
