Artist News: Nightmare Records Announces Signing Of Heart Of Sun

Posted on Saturday, March 24 @ 19:16:30 UTC by nightowl

As posted at Nightmare Records' new forum (at www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/nightmare-records-436/), the label "is Proud to announce the signing of Italy's own Heart Of Sun. This band is an exceptional Melodic Progressive Metal band, technical, dark, brooding, their intensity is quite infectious, bringing forth exactly what we look for in a great new band... Great vocals, masterful technical abilities and memorable music pulled together and slow roasted in great production.



"The basic idea for forming Heart of Sun springs from the meeting of five artistic personalities which share the love for sound research, the energy of metal, the progressive atmospheres and a little hint of psychedelic. After significant musical experiences that lead the guitarist to record and release albums with several metal bands (among which Arkh?, Fiurach, Doomsword and Time Machine), Gianluca Ferro meets Mark Vikar (Power Symphony, Beholder) and they begin to work together, united by a strong synergy. The line-up is ultimately settled with the enrollment of Davide Betelli (Ambermoon, Psych?rder and several collaborations as a first-call sessionman) and of the drummer Sigfrido Percich (Adramelch, Acron, Insania) who proposes to do a concept-piece and writes the lyrics as well.

"After spending some months looking for a talented vocalist, the band realizes that they already knew a great vocal-talent! With Pino Tozzi joining the line-up, the foundations for what is called Heart of Sun is laid! Pino is actually satisfied with the stuff written up to now and he massively concurs to enrich the work with the creation of the vocal tracks. The drawing up of the concept-piece is ready, and the band begins the recordings that will bring Heart of Sun to light, a preview containing six of the tracks that compose the full- length album. After signin' a deal with swiss progressive label Galileo Records, the band returned in studio to complete the album and up to today the work is done! The debut album will be released early summer on both Galileo and Nightmare Records.

"Stay tuned, for formal release date to be announced shortly.
