RAINING NAILS signs with Rockshots Records

Rockshots Records announces their signing of Italy’s Raining Nails ft. members of Eternal Silence, Fallen Arise, Oracle Sun, and Sound Storm for the release of the debut album “Human Deeds” in 2023.

Catchy, aggressive, heavy, and powerful, but also melodic, the band’s first full-length will feature 10 tracks of power and symphonic-influenced heavy metal. It was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by bassist Massimiliano Flak at Evolution Recording Studios in Turin (Italy) www.evolutionstudios.it, with album artwork and booklet designed by Caio Caldas at www.cadiesart.com based on a concept from Raining Nails.

“I think and hope that this album will be received with curiosity by future listeners, we are musicians from different bands and we each put our own ideas and origins into this project, making it an interesting recipe. We feel that all the songs on this album are singles but having to choose a couple of singles, we decided on Anthem and Queen Of Thorns will be released prior to the record’s official release date. I think not only fans of classic heavy metal will really like them.

Marika Vanni (vocalist)

“Human Deeds” was composed over a couple of months and conceptually talks about the bad situations of the world, but also keeps a light of hope for the future.

“You can clearly see what I mean looking through the artwork of the album.” says Flak.

Fans of bands such as Battle Beast, Powerwolf and Kamelot are recommended to keep an ear open for when Raining Nails unleash their first single “Anthem” on July 7th, which can be pre-saved at the following link: https://bfan.link/rn-anthem

Raining Nails is:
Marika Vanni: Vocals
Giacomo Paradiso: Electric and Acoustic Guitars
Massimiliano Flak: Bass
Mattia Rubino: Drums

Italian power metal band KALIDIA have split-up

In what is obviously sad news for the weekend, Kalidia have officially announced that they are no longer active.

A statement posted by frontwoman Nicoletta Rosellini on her Facebook profile reads:

Dear friends,

It’s with heavy heart that we announce that we’ve disbanded, for the good of all the people involved.

Unfortunately during the latest years, our vision on the future of the band strayed away: we tried our best to make it work anyway, but we now understand that it’s better for everyone to take different paths, without forcing anyone to do things they don’t want to.

It was such a long and, most of the time, joyful adventure and we would like to thank you all for the unconditional support and love you showed us in these 12 years. The music and the good memories remain forever.

Take care and hopefully our paths will cross again – the band members are already working on new exciting music projects!

On a happier note, Rosellini also updated us on her future plans in a subsequent video released on her YouTube channel. In the video, she details how herself and Dario Gozzi (drummer of Kalidia), together with Paolo Campitelli and some other as yet unnamed members, have formed an entirely new band and have already recorded a new album in the same genre.
