Ronin was Bruno Dorella's project back when he was drummer for Wolfango. Slow, moving songs, soundtracks for imaginary films. In the summer of 1998, in Pesaro, Dorella found the striking inspiration he was looking for: a festival that Wolfango were supposed to play in was cancelled due to bad weather. The only band that was able to play was an acoustic, Slovenian band which drew the audience's attention all the time they played.
The Ronin project had to get going and musicians needed to be found. The hunt was extensive; for a rocker like Bruno, finding harmonica and violin players was not exactly easy, but he eventually met the right people and the first mini-cd was released, Ronin EP on Bar la Muerte in 2002. The eponymous debut album was released in 2004, the subsequent "Lemming" in 2007 and "L'Ultimo Re" in 2009, all by Ghost Records.
Besides Bruno the live line-up is composed by Chet Martino on bass, formerly in Pin Pin Sugar and today in Quasiviri. On drums Enzo Rotondaro, also in metal and hardcore bands CGB and Glacial Fear. Finally Nicola Ratti, solo electro-acoustic performer, on guitar.
Ronin played lots of gigs in Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Slovenia and Croatia
