Ironwill – The Rock against Bullying project was born in 2018 from an initiative by Salvo “Ironwill” Dell’Arte: the band is part of a wide kaleidoscope in which all artistic forms are involved: music, photography, videos, comics, illustrations and works of art. The first chapter dealt with bullying; in 2019 Ironwill 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 (plus an introductory single) linked by the same perspective: a positive evolution.
The band has shared the stage with many important bands and already performed in big and decent festivals like MAsters of Rock, Pannonian Rock, Rock N Iasi, Balkan Metal Meeting and they have booked fort the upcoming summer two more big festivals (Laurus Nobilis – Portugal and Metalfest (Czech republic).
