Fire Trails

The Profile

Fire Trails is an Italian hard rock/heavy metal band formed by vocalist Pino Scotto (ex‑Vanadium). They debuted with Vanadium Tribute (2002) and followed with Third Moon (2005), a concept linked to Native American themes. The band has appeared at the Gods of Metal festival. Guitarist Steve Angarthal is a key member; musicians cited in reviews include Mario Giannini (drums) and Frank Coppolino (bass).

Verified highlights: led by Pino Scotto (well-known from Vanadium and Rock TV), guitarist Steve Angarthal’s neoclassical-tinged style features prominently; releases include Vanadium Tribute (2002) and Third Moon (2005); performed at Gods of Metal; reviewed live at Catanzaro Lido in 2007.

Two positive-leaning reviews chart Fire Trails’ punchy live presence and the studio ambition of Third Moon. Pino Scotto’s veteran charisma and social bite stand out, alongside Steve Angarthal’s technical guitar work. The album is framed as a genre-blending, Native American-themed concept. A 2007 Catanzaro Lido set shows the band’s rapport with mixed-age crowds and their roots in Italian metal history.
