If you are aware of Dino Jelusick, well done. If you are not… time to catch up. The young Croatian-born singer, musician, and songwriter not only sports one of the best sets of pipes in the current music scene but has been involved with several bands in recent years, including but not limited to Whitesnake, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and his former band Animal Drive, plus worked with some metal luminaries, the likes of Gus G., Mike Mangini, George Lynch, Will Hunt, John Macaluso, Phil Demmel, Mike Portnoy, Virgil Donati, Kiko Loureiro, and Jordan Rudess, amongst others.
If you want to enjoy a supercharged version of Deep Purple’s “Stormbringer” with a madness-inducing instrumental mid-section or get a glimpse at what a Liquid Tension Experiment’s song would sound like with vocals added, Dino is your guy.
For the newcomers to Dino's most recent endeavors, he has a full band under the moniker of Jelusick, and their new single “How Many Times” – which will be part of their sophomore album – is now streaming, accompanied by the music video above.
Talking about the song, Dino reveals: "'How Many Times' is like a start of the new chapter for us. Something where we blend all the influences but without any of the influences taking over, modern, progressive, heavy but hooky. And lyrically going deep into introspective.”
Keep these guys on your radar as I’m sure we will be hearing a lot more about them in the coming months. And before I forget, they will be making their US live debut at this year's ProgPower USA festival.
