COLD SHIVERS12.jpg

Of Shadows And Lights project originally started as a band in 2018 from an Angelo Pitone's idea in which music, lyrics and pictures are the poetry that tell the story of good and evil, of who we really are and what we really have inside as human being. It's about the hidden undertones of our souls: of shadows and lights. A concept greater than ourselves with infinite reading keys. Each of you can draw its own conclusions, listen to the music or reading the lyrics. That's exactly how it should be.

His music was inspired by the music from Queen, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Nothing But Thieves, Train, U2, The Dear Hunter, As Tall As Lions, Karnivool just to name a fews, but he's currently working hard improving his sound and performance as a songwriter, producer, musician and singer without losing the importance of technical aspects of music production.

​

OSAL debut album Almost Prophetic Visions And Thoughts was produced and mixed by Angelo, and it sees the cooperation by Maestro Giuseppe Bolognini on the guitars, Giovanni Versari (Muse, Nic Cester, Calibro 35, Ministri, Negramaro, Niccolò Fabi) on mastering, and Michele Sassanelli on photography. It is available on all streaming and downloading platforms since 21st January 2021. It includes successful singles like Cold Shivers, Awakening, Unaware Passenger (included in an editorial Spotify playlist called All New Rock) and Universal Thing which is supported by a music video.

 

Poisoned Heart was released in May 12, 2022, is about injustices and lives taken from innocent children because of the outbursts of parents who are unworthy of being called such. This song is like a two-hour dramatic movie enclosed within three minutes of music. It's shocking, emotive, powerful, thought-provoking, sick like a toxic love. The outstanding vocal performance will unleash an unprecedented emotional rush, and it will make you feel shivers down your spine. Also, you can change your perspective on the lyrical theme and think of a divided family and a sense of abandonment brought on by war. It's up to you which reading key to use.

​

Nervous Breakdown, his first release with Rexius Records AB, has its roots in modern, delicate, and constantly changing geopolitics, where everything seems to be fair, discovering, only afterward, that this is a rule made just for somebody. When an injustice occurs, you may feel anger in your bones, and ordinary people are obliged to stay behind and surrender to power.

​

On 15th Dec 2023 he releases Poems From The Edge, his first concept EP with Rexius Records AB. It is an artistically ambitious work, that blends different music genres with conscious lyrics. The creative lyrics contribution of British singer-songwriter Lisa Tenzin-Dolma has made this OSAL's first truly 'conscious music' work. Made for people who want to embark into musical journey to explore the emotional rebirth and create a deep inner harmony for a personal growth.

​

Angelo is currently working hard on new exciting music with the best quality possible. Then... keep your ears open!

There's no limit to your growth. The key is to start now, because sometimes later becomes never.
