BIOGRAPHY: DiAmorte is more than music, it is an experience. A story set to the sounds of a savage orchestra, opera, and metal instrumentation. Each show, uniquely presented with live performers that build the atmosphere is each song, setting the nature of stage and bringing to life the lyrics. A stage show honed and crafted over six years time complete with choirs, players, special fx, and various performers whose presences conclude the experience, DiAmorte is as much an opera as it is a metal show. It is the philosophy that for a band that to simply enter on stage and play songs as they were on the album without anything further is to simply listen to the album itself. Music provokes visualization and demands it to complete it in entirety. This is DiAmorte…

Rarebell himself makes an appearance on Keel’s radio show to talk about the band and their music: “I feel like they have what it takes to go all the way, and they remind me very much of the Scorpions when we were young and first came to the United States,” he proclaims during the exclusive interview which can be heard in its entirety at:
A complete list of affiliate stations and airtimes is also online there. Keel’s one-hour weekly broadcast often features the latest music from rock legends as well as giving the new generation of arena rockers a chance to be heard; another bright young star featured on this year’s Monsters Of Rock Cruise, 15 year-old Gabbie Rae, will be heard on the radio for the first time on this week’s episode of the show. “It’s important to acknowledge those acts – like Scorpions – who blazed the hard rock trail for all of us,” Ron states, “but it’s equally important to support acts like Unbreakable and Gabbie Rae who are the future of this music.”
