Adagio welcomes new singer!
Adagio has the great pleasure to announce that the band has found a new voice and friend in the person of Gus Monsanto.
Out of the many demos that the management received came out a great version of the song Chosen from the Underworld album ... and all the guys have fallen in love with the Brazilian voice.
Gus and the bands performance at this years PROGPOWER
festival in Atlanta, GA, USA was brilliant. The band drew many praises from the crowd as well as their music
peers. Once the tour is complete, priority will be given in composing the new album which has already begun.
The 3rd studio album from Adagio is scheduled to be released early in 2005.

Welcome Adagio Fans!
Well we finally got this website launched and although
the boat is still a little rusty, give us some time to
get this maiden voyage up and sailing. Adagio-USA is a
fan club for the French mastermind and musician behind
Adagio, Stephan Forte. Stephan and Adagio drew all
sorts of praises from the metal industry with their
grand opus “Sanctus Ignis” released in 2001. Adagio
fueled with some of the finest musicians on this earth
have embarked with their sophomore release entitled
“Underworld” which is to be released in the USA
October 2003.
Stay tuned, as Adagio-USA will be bringing you up to
date news, exclusive interviews with band members,
MP3s, photos, special promotions and much more!
Adagio-USA Fan Club and Membership

by subscribing to our list server and signing up using

FAQ
How much is membership? A year's membership will only
run you $20.00. We accept PayPal, Money Orders,
Cashiers Checks and Personal Checks.
Why do I need to pay $20.00 to purchase these items
above? Well, you are not forced to pay to join, but in
order for us to maintain the cost of this website we
must produce some sort of income. What little profit
(if any) we make goes straight back into the website
and Adagio merchandise. After all, we have to pay for
this ourselves in order to bring them to you.
Will Adagio ever play the USA or North America? Good
question! We will do everything in our power to bring
Adagio to North America. As you know, it can be very
expensive to fly band members, crew, and equipment. On
top of that you have to deal with transportation,
lodging and food, etc. Without a sponsor or backing
from the record company, it is a challenge for the
musicians and us.
Don't give up! We are working on ways on how we can
promote and showcase Adagio to the fullest! Metal
festivals like ProgPower USA are a good example of how
bands from all over the world can play for an audience
in the USA!!
