Limited Edition 300 copies/BASTET is an Italian project born from guitarist Mike Petrone’s passion for Metal. In 2019, the band added Nico Gilli as vocalist and obtained the collaboration of Fabio Alessandrini and Frank Leone. The band, initia/y a side project of GENGIS KHAN, turned soon into a full-time band. Their mix of actual melodic Heavy Metal and old school Metal shows that BASTET is a real new sensation! Powerful, energetic, classy and hea vy with such quality members, no doubt, BASTET is the new goddess that Metal fans have to pray!
To introduce the band, Nico Gilli performed in the first NASTY TENDENCY’s record << Wild and Nasty >> (2009). Mike Petrone is a guitarist since the age of 11.

He also wrote songs for VESCERA’s album Beyond the Fight іn 2017.
Fabio Alessandrini started playing drums at the age of 11. After a few years recording and touring with local bands around Europe, he joined Thrash Metal pioneers ANNIHILATOR in 2016. In 2017, he featured NWOBHM legends RAVEN for a
