🎸 LUCA BALLABIO — THE GUITAR WIZARD OF METAL & MELODY! 🎸
From Milan’s CPM to the world stage – a journey through thunderous riffs, soaring solos, and musical mastery.
Hi! I’m LUCA BALLABIO, and I’ve proudly been a rock fusion guitar instructor at CPM (Centro Professione Musica) in Milan since 2005. 🎓🎸 Over the past two decades, I’ve shaped and inspired guitarists, helping them find their voice in the world of rock and fusion. My approach bridges technique with emotion, blending the power of metal with the soul of melodic storytelling. 🎶🔥 I believe that guitar isn’t just an instrument; it’s an extension of the mind, a translator of the heart, and a channel for the rawest forms of human expression. 🧠❤️🎸
My mission as a teacher has always been more than just sharing technique. 💡 It’s about helping others understand the language of music. I push students to explore their identity through sound, to experiment boldly, and to learn how to tell stories through their fretboards. 🎼🧭 The countless hours in class, the jam sessions, the workshops—each moment has been a step toward creating guitarists who not only play notes but embody them. 💪🎶
But teaching is only part of my journey. 🚀
I’m also active on stage and in the studio as a solo guitarist in the F.E.A.S.T. of FABRI KIARELLI, and in thrash metal band “MORTADO” alongside the legendary GIANLUCA “GL” PEROTTI, frontman of EXTREMA. 🎤⚡ Recently, we’ve embarked on a bold new chapter: the power metal project “SCREAMIN’ DEMONS” — a union of hard-edged talent and haunting musical imagination. 👹🔥 The band features elite musicians such as ALESSIO SPINI, ANDREA BARISELLI, ALBERTO PRESTINI, and ROSS LUKATHER — all well-known as the final members of the iconic horror-hard rock group DEATH SS. 🧛♂️🎸
⚡️ ABOUT THE ALBUM: POWER. PRECISION. PASSION. 💥
What sets this album apart is the fusion of melodic metal and hard rock, filtered through my signature guitar work. 🎸 It’s not just riffs and runs – it’s a crafted journey of contrast and harmony, of fire and finesse. 🔥🎵 The album’s essence carries the raw energy of rock and the sophistication of melody, wrapped in complex arrangements, driving beats, and emotional solos. 🥁🎶💫
We didn’t stop at just killer compositions — this album is packed with jaw-dropping collaborations that bring each track to life in unexpected ways: 🤯🔥
- GIANLUCA “GL” PEROTTI (EXTREMA) – voice of rebellion and power 🎙️💣
- FABRI KIARELLI (THE ROCKETS) – soaring textures and cosmic tones 🌌🎸
- GRACE DARKLING (NOCTURNA) – dark, operatic energy 🖤🎤
- ALESSIO SPINI (SCREAMIN’ DEMONS) – heavy grooves and tight rhythm 🥁🎵
- TREVOR (SADIST) – death-progressive intensity 💀🔥
- EDO SALA & STEVE FERROVECCHIO (FOLKSTONE) – folk-meets-metal tribal energy 🎻🪘
- TIZIANA COTELLA (HOCCULTA) – mystical female vocals 🌙✨
- ROSS LUKATHER (DEATH SS) – pure horror-hard rock essence 🧟♂️🎸
- ANGELO PERINI (THE TRIP) – prog-rock finesse and classic influence 🌀🎶
Each artist brought their DNA to the record, forming a unique listening experience that’s as heavy as it is memorable. 🧬💥 What we have now is not just an album — it’s a chapter in a larger story about musical evolution, collaborative fire, and artistic identity. 📖🔥🎶
🎧 HEAR IT FOR YOURSELF – PREPARE TO MELT FACES & STIR SOULS! 🔥👂💥
This isn’t just an album — it’s a statement. 🎤 Listen and you’ll feel the power of rhythm, the intricacy of solos, and the melodic textures that occasionally wink toward the pop world — just enough to add edge without losing heaviness. 🎵🎸 It’s the kind of music that pays homage to tradition while ripping through the future. ⚔️🚀
Every track is a ride — whether you’re tearing down the highway with the volume cranked or sitting in a dark room letting the reverb tell its story. You’ll find yourself swept up in waves of guitar fury, only to be pulled into a haunting vocal line or an unexpected folk-metal break. It’s music built for discovery. 🔊🎧

🤘 WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS 🎤🔥
In an era flooded with singles and AI-generated loops, this album was crafted with human energy, passion, and relentless discipline. ⚒️💡 It took late-night sessions, live studio jams, disagreements, breakthroughs, and ultimately, a celebration of real musicianship. 🥁🎛️💥
The sound of strings bending. The feedback of a solo ringing out through a room. The roar of drums. The silence between notes. These are things machines can’t create. And that’s exactly why this project resonates — because it’s alive. 🧬🎸
Whether you’re a fan of classic power metal, modern thrash, melodic hard rock, or progressive fusion, you’ll find something to hold on to. 🧠🔥🎶
🧙♂️ WHO WE ARE:
- F.E.A.S.T. OF FABRI KIARELLI – where my guitar meets cosmic rock theatrics 🌠🎸
- MORTADO – pure Milanese thrash metal grit 💣🔥
- SCREAMIN’ DEMONS – a hellbound symphony of metal’s finest 👹🎶
These aren’t just bands. They’re living machines of expression, breathing fire through amps, and channeling rage into rhythm. 🔥🎤⚡ Our live shows are not just performances – they are rituals. 🕯️🎵 From the moment the lights hit the stage to the last thunder of drums, our mission is to connect, awaken, and elevate. 🚀🎸✨
We’ve shredded at legendary venues, headlined underground festivals, and held audiences in the palm of our hand across Italy and beyond. 🌍🔥 But what keeps us moving is the energy you bring. Metal is a shared ritual — and every time you show up, stream, comment, or headbang, you become a part of this force. 🙌🎶
🎓 EDUCATION MEETS PASSION 💡🎸
Since 2005, I’ve stood as a proud educator at CPM in Milan — mentoring guitarists, refining their tone, guiding their theory, and teaching how to bring emotion through distortion. 🎓🎶🎸 My students are now studio session players, solo artists, and bandleaders — and I couldn’t be prouder. 🏆🔥
Beyond just theory and technique, I teach how to play with intention. 🎼 A single note can mean more than a flurry of speed when it’s played with the right heart. ❤️ Music is storytelling, and I make sure my students are equipped not only with skills but with narrative power. 📖🎸💥
And many of my students are featured across the local and international scenes — building their own sonic identities, pushing boundaries, and fusing genres in ways I never imagined. That’s what it’s all about. 🎶🚀
🔮 THE FUTURE OF METAL IS NOW 🎶⚡
As we move forward, my goal is simple: continue to innovate, collaborate, and inspire. 🌍🎸 With SCREAMIN’ DEMONS evolving fast, new projects on the horizon, and a growing global audience, the fire only burns hotter. 🔥🔥🔥
There are tours being planned. 🧳🎤 New music already in the works. 🎶 Collaborative concerts across Italy and beyond. 🇮🇹🌎 More videos. 🎥 More riffs. 🎸 And definitely more screams. 😱
The story is far from over. So keep your amps warm, your minds open, and your horns in the air. 🤘🔥
