Я не виноват, что итальянцы превалируют в моих музыкальных новостях, так получилось. Сегодня Federica Lanna из Sleeping Romance объявила, что уходит из коллектива. Очень жаль, она была лицом группы. Понятно, что замену найдут, свято место, как говорится, пусто не бывает. Но хотелось бы ей пожелать, чтоб у неё всё получилось в других проектах, она этого заслуживает. Уход Dianne van Girsbergen из Xandria, к примеру, факт показательный, я бы сказал. И Диана вдохнула новую жизнь в свой предыдущий коллектив Ex Libris, и Aewa Maurelle буквально расцвела в Xandria. По крайней мере, такого исполнения Ravenheart я не слышал. Как справится Sleeping Romance, посмотрим. На Facebook они уже опубликовали объявление о поиске вокалистки, есть желающие?
The symphonic metal band Sleeping Romance from Modena, Italy released their debut album “Enlighten” through the Swedish label Ulterium Records in 2013 and directly after the album came out joined their label mates Theocracy [US] as support act on their European tour.Since then, the band have toured quite extensively in Europe, playing mini tours and one-off festival shows around the continent, including Brainstorm Festival and FemME in the Netherlands, Christmas Rock Night in Germany and many others. In December 2014 the band released a new single entitled “Fire & Ice” together with a music video.In 2015 the band signed with Napalm Records, and the bands second album “Alba” was released in November 2017. The new album marks a new chapter in the band history, and the future of the band surely looks very bright!In February 2018 the band will join label mates Serenity and Visions of Atlantis on the “Symphonic Metal Nights” tour in Europe and more touring will follow later in 2018.In May 2020 started the production of their third album and they’re looking for a new singer.From Napalm Records:
Let the curtain rise on the sensual seduction of Mediterranean Symphonic Metal: SLEEPING ROMANCE provide a symphony for the broken hearted who somehow manage to love again. “Alba” leads a journey of orchestral opera arrangements and siren songs; touching, sometimes frightening, but always as personal as can be. Songstress Federica Lanna means every word of “The Bleeding Darkness in Me”. As always, Federico Truzzi flatters her lovely voice with delicate guitars. The Italian quintet display true mastery, as they fuse bloodcurdling classical sounds with monstrous Melodic Death Metal-riffing, full of force yet sustained by noble, theatrical flamboyance. After the success of their debut “Enlighten” SLEEPING ROMANCE’s frenetic “Alba” is not to be ignored.Federico Truzzi – Guitars, OrchestrationLorenzo Costi – Bass (studio)Marco Cilloni – Bass (live and studio) Francesco Zanarelli – Drums Mattia Todescato – Guitars.
И бонусом Xandria, тот самый Ravenheart, поразивший меня прямо в сердце.
