Ariadna Project

Ariadna Project is one of the most promising new bands nowadays in the Argentinean rock/metal scene. With a different and fresh sound the band is now taking steps into the worldwide market with “Parallel Worlds”, their new album.

This power metal project was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, back in 1999, when Rodrigo Gudiña (guitars) and Guillermo De Medio (keyboards) began composing and recording the material that later on would be known as Ariadna Project.

At the end of 2000 the song “Y Las Sombras Quedaran Atras” (“The Shadows Will Remain Behind”) was chosen to be included in the first work of Adrian Barilari (Rata Blanca) as a soloist.
