Solid Vision, an Italian progressive metal band that also boasts a collaboration with Charlie Dominici, ex-vocalist of Dream Theater, are splitting up with their long time singer, Samuele Pintus. The band, which lives in Sardinia, is currently looking for a singer and has started the auditions. Essential requirements are: fluency in English with good pronunciation, ability in clean singing is requested as much as ability at executing screaming and growling.

Brian Maillard, guitarist of the band, declared: "The reason for our separation is very simple: at the moment Samuel is very busy and hasn't got much time to continue with the Solid Vision. We are still on good terms, and there isn't any kind of problem between him and the band, in fact, after 15 years of career together he is like a brother for us! A really good person and a great singer."

Those who are interested will have to visit the YouTube channel dedicated to auditions, http://www.youtube.com/user/SOLIDVISIONAUDITION2. You will find two videos: one of the song "Sacrifice" in the original version with Samuel's voice, and the second without voice, that the singer will have to re-record, singing the song. In the video you will find all the instructions.
