Michael Angelo Batio: I am incredibly happy and to announce that the wait for my new "Intermezzo" album is almost over. We are in the final mixing stages. My engineer Chris Wisco is doing an incredible job, creating a world class mix of the music! The finished disc will be sent to the manufacturer within the next few days keeping, on schedule, the official release date of Thursday November 14th. I have worked on this record for 2 years. I first began writing the songs for "Intermezzo" in November 2011. Since that time, I have performed approximately 200 shows around the world, had a major, costly flood that almost destroyed my recording studio and have dealt with several serious family issues, all of which jeopardized and delayed the release date of the album. I have reacted to these obstacles in the only way that I know how - that is to never quit, do the absolute best work I can and "just finish it!" What I can say is that this is the best record I have ever done and the extra time it took actually became a blessing in disguise. With the help of the incredible guitarist and friend Dave Reffett, last month we were able to add an extra song to the album featuring some additional amazing guest guitar players. The final list of special guests now include - George Lynch, Guthrie Govan (2 solos on the album,) Michael Romeo, Jeff Loomis, Craig Goldy, Dave Reffett, Chris Poland, Rusty Cooley, Mike Lepond, Elliott Dean Rubinson, Joe Stump, Andrea Martongelli, Alex Stornello, Bill Peck, Max Carlisle, Florent Atem, Annie Grunwald, Tobias Hurwitz and the amazing guitar solos from our Kickstarter brothers. I would also like to thank "Hellion" guitarist Max Carlisle for his great contribution to "Intermezzo." I will be posting the list of names and how they will appear on the CD booklet on my Facebook pages, MAB Forum and here at Kickstarter within the next few days. When this is posted please check and make sure your name is spelled correctly, you are mentioned and in the right place. I don't want to miss anyone. Contact me right away to correct an errors that might occur. Also, the digital download of "Intermezzo"will be available as promised in the very beginning of November. All other pledge items such as posters, pedals, etc... will be sent in November as well. I will honor 100% of my commitment to you as you have honored me by supporting my music. I can't thank you enough. I hope you love the new record. Kindest regards and gratitude, Michael Angelo Batio
