WONDERS present new artwork!
This is the artwork of the new WONDERS album “Beyond The Mirage” (release date June 16th, 2023).
Working duties on the band’s second record were strictly shared: Pietro Paolo Lunesu (Even Flow) delivered songwriting and guitar play, Marco Pastorino (Temperance) laid down excellent mid-range lead vocals, and Bob Katsionis (ex-Firewind) orchestrated a multi-tasking job, playing the keyboards, arranging songs, and managing the studio production. On top of all that the Greek power metal conductor also created the album’s cover artwork.
“The meaning of the cover of ’Beyond The Mirage’ is to believe in oneself, to push one’s limits towards another dimension, but also to dedicate yourself to a common goal with other people”, says Pietro Paolo.

Melodic Power Metallers WONDERS release new album
After „The Fragments of Wonder”, WONDERS’ 2021 debut album, enlightened our world with outstanding, sensational pieces of work, we are happy to announce the successor “Beyond The Mirage” to be released soon on LIMB MUSIC! The new album brings back powerful anthems, skillful guitar play, progressive patterns, and a great voice.
Pietro sums up the ambitions of the second WONDERS record: “This time the idea has been to create an album even more powerful than the previous one, promoting the true and total powers of WONDERS. The new album is characterized by speed power metal songs with guitars, keyboards, and drums playing a key role. Of course we did not put aside our AOR/melodic rock influences creating the mid tempo songs to highlight the melodies.”
The Line-Up is:
MARCO PASTORINO – vocals (Temperance, Cristiano Filippini’s FLAMES OF HEAVEN, Virtual Symmetry, ex-Secret Sphere)
PIETRO PAOLO LUNESU – guitars (Even Flow)
LUCA NEGRO – bass (Temperance)
BOB KATSIONIS – keyboards (ex-Firewind, ex-Serious Black, ex-Revolution Renaissance, Outloud, Warrior Path, Stray Gods, Prydain)
GIORGIO LUNESU – drums (Even Flow)

WONDERS – The Fragments Of Wonder
„The Fragments Of Wonder“ moves in the musical sphere between Stratovarius and Beast In Black, spiced with a progressive touch. The production is powerful and guitar-heavy – an important feat because apart from catchy melodies and choruses, the guitar work is one of the outstanding trademarks and makes this album a real gem of the genre.
In 2020, the two EVEN FLOW musicians Pietro Paolo Lunesu and his brother Giorgio Lunesu (both from Sardinia) started a new cooperation with the Greek producer and keyboardist Bob Katsionis (ex Firewind).
After the trio had defined their musical goals, it was clear that more comrades would have to come on board the new band. What could be more obvious than to involve good friends like singer Marco Pastorino and bassist Luca Negro, both from TEMPERANCE.
Katsionis produced and mixed the album in his Sound Symmetry Studio in Athens. All musicians traveled from Sardinia to Greece especially for this purpose. „The Fragments Of Wonder“ tends musically into the Power Melodic Metal corner without leaving out style-defining progressive elements – a bit comparable to early Stratovarius.

WONDERS „Pretender“ single / video out today!
„Pretender“ is the second song written by the band, a song full of pathos and emotions that involves the listener from the first to the last musical note. Its melodic and sometimes melancholic beginning evolves into a musical explosion when it comes to the refrain, giving way to a second part of an extremely Power Metalesque song with melodic traits, where the rhythm section and the vocalist are up and running strong.
We do recommend to give it a listen because we believe it is a beautiful song, that will make every fan of the genre around the world happy.
