Gabriele Pala born in 1977 in Trieste. He started to be interested in music very early and, when he was 11, he grabbed his first guitar in hand, discovering something that will be his great passion. He soon discovered extreme metal music and began to develop various aspects of his guitar technique, taking inspiration from the classic death metal bands of the early 90s like Atheist, Cynic, Death and Pestilence.

In 2008 he contacted Heiko Hoepfinger, inventor and owner of a German liutherie named BassLab, known for creating musical instruments made of a special patented composite resonant material. BassLab produced the futuristic Gabriele Pala Signature Model guitar, now full part of Gabriele's image, an instrument based on needs and ideas born throughout the years, but never found in any commercial guitar. In 2011 he began to play the Chapman Stick, the first and most famous of the touch-style instruments.

Goldenseed project began to experiment with everything not feasible by a band made of humans, in terms of forcefully exaggerated arrangements, speed and complexity. Two album were made: “Creatures Of The Sea” (1999) and “Collector Of Illusions” (2006). Thanks to the increasing popularity of social networks, Gabriele could get in touch with a lot of musicians around the world and collaborate with them. He appears as guest for some lead work in the debut album of the American band Gone In April, thanks to Chicco Parisi Lalonde (ex- Sadist).

2011 is a really productive year. The time has come to give life to a new Goldenseed episode, a more guitar-centric work entitled “The War Is In My Mind”. In a song there is, as guest on vocals, Stian “Culto/Occultus” Johansen (ex-Mayhem). The album is published by SG Records.
