One Of A Kind is a concept-album, freely inspired by Stephen King’s novel “The Dead Zone”, composed by 12 tracks of powerful, refined and meticulously crafted sound. All the songs are the result and follow the natural course of a path that began years ago; they develop a great synergy between melody, harmony and lyrics, which makes every song unique, though perfectly inserted in the concept.
For this occasion there are some special guests, three former Michele’s companions: Oleg Smirnoff, Andrea “Tower” Torricini and Federico Puleri. What makes this project so special is the presence of “true” elements and instruments: acoustic drums, guitars and piano (the latter played by Luppi himself). This new band wants to combine the various experiences of his members in a brand-new music reality!
There are so many different influences in this intense work: Metal, Rock, Prog, Power, with a huge measure of Hard Rock sound. The accurate songwriting and arrangement make Killing Touch a band with several nuances and great personality, that will find its natural strength in the “live” dimension. The great on-stage experience of some members of the band has been an essential requisite for composing fresh, powerful and genuine songs. Passion, professionalism and dedication are distinctive elements of this album, that make both the musician and the composition itself stand out. The result is a unique sound (…”One of a kind”…), that is the representation of what Killing Touch are today, both at the emotional and musical level.

Killing Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving faster, speeding back to her
Now our hearts are getting closer
Hold tight through the night before we come undone... (Before we come undone)
Well this pumping headache won't leave me alone... Oh, no
Didn't have to pretend, pretend what I'm feeling
All the colours are bright, too bright to steer...
I want to get back and never ever have to live this way
Life is more than this and you know it so well
I want to get back and never ever have to leave these rails
There is so much left that I have to say and you know it so well
Life keeps turning, spinning out of time
Way beyond the point of no return, yeah
Drifting, creeping here between these walls
All I ever believed in is lost and gone... Yeah... (Can you see what I see?)
We keep rolling the dice, the karma was on to me
Didn't know God was playing with my life
I want to get back and never ever have to live this way
Life is more than this and you know it so well
I want to get back and never ever have to leave these rails
There is so much left that I have to say to you
[Rev. Mike "The Faith" Simmons:]
You reveal the secrets
[Tommy:]
(I reveal the secrets...)
Mike:
I would never share them...
[Tommy:]
(You've got to share them with me...)
Mike:
I just can't believe it
(I just can't believe it)
[Tommy's Mind:]
No way I'm going to share it with you...
[Tommy:]
Got to dig deeper, I don't know you so well
All it takes is a little touch
Can you feel the shock when our hands finally meet?
You should see what I see...
Past and future... Open pages...
I was falling on the Black Ice
When I lost and found a better way
There's a hidden spot in our minds
Awakened by a mistake
... You keep going until you find me
... You keep going until you find me
I want to get back and never ever have to live this way
Life is more than this and you know it so well... (And you know so well...)
I want to get back and never ever have to leave these rails
There is so much left that I have to say
I want to get back and never ever have to live this way
(Never gonna live this way...)
Life is more than this and you know it so well... (And you know so well...)
I want to get back and never ever have to leave these rails
There is so much left that I have to say to you
[Mike:]
You reveal the secrets
[Mike:]
I would never share them
[Mike:]
I just can't believe it
[Tommy:]
Got to dig deeper, now I know you so well
All it takes is a little touch
Can you feel the shock when our hands finally meet?
You should see what I see
[Tommy's Mind:]
My head keeps spinning, all I see is dark
Everything fades... Fades to black...
The song "Wheel of Fortune" depicts a story of a person on a journey back to their loved one, as they reflect on their past mistakes which had left them unhappy and unfulfilled. The lyrics suggest that life can take unexpected turns, leaving an individual in a state of confusion, but despite this, they hold onto the hope of finding happiness and redemption. The first verse highlights the anxiety and desperation the person feels as they race back to their loved one. They reflect on their past feelings and experiences that only served to distance them further from their loved ones.
The second verse shifts focus to the inevitability of life's twists and turns, with the lyrics "Life keeps turning, spinning out of time, Way beyond the point of no return, yeah." The phrase "rolling the dice" suggests that fate or destiny has played a role in their life choices. However, despite this feeling of a lack of control, hope is still present, and they hold fast to positive change, evident in the line, "I was falling on the Black Ice when I lost and found a better way."
The repeated refrain of "I want to get back and never ever have to live this way" suggests a desire to return to a more satisfying and happier way of living, free from past mistakes and missteps. Ultimately, the song appears to be about growth, self-awareness, and the search for true happiness amidst the twists and turns of life.
