Songwriting: 10 Musicianship: 10 Memorability: 10 Production: 10
“Phantom Sounds” is an album that got me filled with emotions by the amazing guitarist and lyricist AMORIELLO, coming from Philadelphia. That’s right, it’s a one-person show. Thomas is a legend that brings classic heavy metal to the top of what great music sounds like. “Phantom Sounds” is the second full album that is a follow-up
of the first album “Amoriello”.

Dr. METAL Alex Yarborough
An honor to share space on the same list as MEGADETH, QUEENSRYCHE, STRYPER & many other stellar rock bands!
Honestly, I have never heard of AMORIELLO until now and this man has gained an extra fan. I love everything about the music its emotional, and powerful. The best part is classic metal. It puts a smile on my face to hear so much influence from BLACK SABBATH and DEEP PURPLE. AMORIELLO thank you for this amazing music and I am really looking forward to your next album. - Sarah Chebaro, Metal Temple
