In 1986, Mollo met English producer Kit Woolven, who produced his first album in 1989, followed by a tour across Europe.[1] After leaving Crossbones to pursue other projects, Mollo opened his own recording studio (Damage, Inc), in [Ventimiglia](/source/Ventimiglia%2C_Italy), Italy,[2] where he has worked with numerous artists as a producer and engineer, including [Aldo Giuntini](/source/Giuntini_Project_(band)) and [Lacuna Coil](/source/Lacuna_Coil).[3] During this time, Mollo continued to write and record his own music and, after being introduced to [Tony Martin](/source/Tony_Martin_(British_singer)) in 1998, released *[The Cage](/source/The_Cage_(Martin%2FMollo_album))* with him in 1999.[1] Well received by critics and the public, Mollo and Martin released two follow-up albums: *[The Cage 2](/source/The_Cage_2)* in 2002 and *[The Third Cage](/source/The_Third_Cage)* in 2012.[3] In between working with Martin, Mollo also released three albums with [Glenn Hughes](/source/Glenn_Hughes_(British_musician)) under the name Voodoo Hill: their self-titled debut in 2000, *Wild Seed of Mother Earth* in 2004, and *Waterfall* in 2015.[3] Mollo is currently involved in Tony Martin's live band, Headless Cross. The new Headless Cross line-up played their first ever show on 27 July 2012, at The Asylum nightclub in [Birmingham](/source/Birmingham). The set included material from the pair's *Cage* albums together.[4] ## Discography ### with Crossbones - *Demo* (1984) - *Crossbones* (1989) - *Rock the cradle* (2016) ### with Tony Martin - *[The Cage](/source/The_Cage_(Martin%2FMollo_album))* (1999) - *[The Cage 2](/source/The_Cage_2)* (2002) - *[The Third Cage](/source/The_Third_Cage)* (2012) ### with Voodoo Hill (with Glenn Hughes) - *Voodoo Hill* (2000) - *Wild Seed of Mother Earth* (2004) - *Waterfall* (2015) ### with EZoo (with [Graham Bonnet](/source/Graham_Bonnet)) - *Feeding the Beast* (2017) ### Guest musician - Sharon – *Skintight* (1990) - Wine Spirit – *Bombs Away* (2001) - Night Cloud – *Defeated by the Innocents* (2004) - Wicked Machine – *Wicked Machine* (2011) - Alcatrazz – *Born Innocent* (2020) [5] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-bio_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-bio_1-1) ["Dario Mollo bio"](https://web.archive.org/web/20120427160451/http://www.dariomollo.com/n_bio.htm).
