“It’s a dream come true, lasting for years. Now everything can begin!”. With these words, Marco Rinaldi announced the official debut of Rimmar's album "Raises", his visionary solo project, to be released via Rockshots Records on July 4th, 2025. Today, that journey continues with the release of the second single called "Unreal," now available on all digital platforms, accompanied by a Visualizer.
Like the entire upcoming album "Raises", "Unreal" is entirely written, composed, and arranged by Rinaldi himself. It blends the power of classic, progressive, and industrial metal with disco and electronic elements, forging a sound that is as immersive as it is distinctive. While "Planet Mars" introduced the conceptual tone of the album—a journey through time, rebirth, and transcendence—"Unreal" adds a new emotional layer, exploring purification and transformation through a rich sonic landscape.
As the band explains, “The water motif, present and massive in the economy of the album, has a purifying connotation in the world of Unreal.” The track flows with melodic density and thematic intensity, evoking a submerged world of introspection and liberation. It's another step forward in the evolution of "Raises" and a perfect representation of the album’s symbolic ascent—of raising the volume, the awareness, and the emotional stakes.
Rimmar is not a conventional band but a one-man artistic endeavor shaped entirely by Marco Rinaldi. His creative process begins with a riff or rhythm, eventually evolving into fully orchestrated arrangements through the use of synths, pads, and layered textures. His lyrics draw inspiration from readings, philosophical thought, and vivid dreams, always serving the music rather than leading it. As Rinaldi says, “The word is a servant of music in my case.”
The album "Raises" features a cast of exceptional guest performers from the Italian metal scene. Among them, Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of Fire, Angra) appears on two tracks ("Mighty Messenger" and "Vortex"), along with Kyo Calati (MindAheaD), Marco Andreotti (Imagine Dragons tribute), Mattia Fagiolo (White Thunder, Dragonhammer) and Alessandro Cola (Eldritch)—each lending their voice and energy to the project.
On stage, Rimmar becomes a full live band composed of experienced musicians from the Italian scene, delivering performances that merge metal’s impact with the visual and rhythmic elements of electronic dance.
With "Planet Mars" and "Unreal", Rimmar marks the first two milestones of an ambitious musical vision—emotional, genre-defying, and unapologetically bold.
