IRONWILL BIO
IRONWILL is a Psychological Rock band formed in 2018 by Salvo “Ironwill” Dell’Arte.
The band is part of a large kaleidoscopic spectrum in which all artistic forms are involved: music, photography, video, comics, illustration works and art. The aim of IRONWILL is to bring together the best artists who know how to express with their sensitivity the importance of the topics dealt with in each project.
IRONWILL believes that rock music and other artistic works are the best way to communicate to people the light of souls which everyone needs in the path of his/her life. Art is part of life and is the best way to help give the real significance to the journey on this Earth.
IRONWILL proposes to talk about personal and psychological issues, giving several points of view for the depths of one’s soul trying to switch on the warm light inside the audience.
The first chapter was about bullying; in 2019 they recorded the concept album “The Jonathan’s Journey”.
The second chapter released in 2020/2021, called “Breakout”, is about the evolution of souls; 10 songs linked by the same point of view: a positive evolution.
In the meantime, IRONWILL experimented with a return to the blues with a number of singles in which the crossover between rock and blues allowed the literary themes to be explored musically. This fascinating exploration is called B2B Back to Blues.
Chapter three: Breakout. The third chapter abstracts itself from the character Jonathan and deals with the recurring themes of ‘awakening-breakout’ evolution in its various stages. Musically, the new album is a blend of rock, blues and funky with lyrical and classical colours. The photographic works of maestro Franco Donaggio enrich the covers of the individual tracks, giving them the perfect visual-audio combination.
Chapter four: Unseen. In May 2023 the production of the new vision begins; it will be a concept trilogy inspired by the story of an audio-visual created by a well-known artist entitled Unseen, which deals with the destruction of the earth by the wickedness of mankind.
After many live shows, IRONWILL starts in 2022 a European Festival tour:
