Under the neon lights of Miami’s streets love burns bright and is fast extinguished in a city that never sleeps. In the new single and video for “Shadow of Your Kiss”, V.B.O. expose the light and shade that arises when deep connections are formed and severed in this urban landscape. “Shadow of Your Kiss” arrives alongside V.B.O.‘s debut full length Vice Business Only, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.
“‘Shadow of Your Kiss’ is the fourth official video by Vice Business Only, telling the story of a love that ignites and fades within the frenzy and chaos of an American metropolis.” Explains Francesco Cavalieri..
“The track captures the emotional intensity of a relationship shaped by fast-paced lives, sleepless nights, and moments that burn bright before disappearing. Love is a central element in life, and it holds the same importance in our music. Like all powerful emotions, it carries both passion and pain — leaving behind memories that are beautiful, intense, and impossible to erase. This song is a reflection of that duality: the light and the darkness that every unforgettable connection leaves behind.”

With eerie bass tones and retro-synth arpeggios, “Shadow of Your Kiss” explores the centrality of love in our lives and the powerful emotions that accompany it. Risers and vocoders enhance the mood as the dynamics ebb and flow across the track. The catchy lead melody hook and vocal lines throughout “Shadow of Your Kiss” inject an anthemic touch that is matched with the electronic textures.
Vice Business Only was recorded at LSD-Studios (Lübeck, Germany), produced, mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert. Photography is by Onofrio Petronella and Tommaso Barletta, with the album cover artwork design by V.B.O.

About V.B.O.:
VICE BUSINESS ONLY (V.B.O.) is a musical project founded in 2023 by Francesco Cavalieri, best known as the frontman of the power metal band WIND ROSE, together with electronic music producer Simone Giusti. The project marks a bold artistic shift for Cavalieri, moving from fantasy-driven metal into a modern, urban, and cinematic soundscape.
The band’s lineup is completed by Claudio Falconcini (guitar), Federico Meranda (keyboards), and Angelo Carmignani (drums), combining diverse musical backgrounds into a cohesive identity.
V.B.O. blends retro-futuristic synthwave with rock and metal, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and electrifyingly modern. Inspired by Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Daft Punk, and Justice, the band combines analog-style synths, driving rhythms, and powerful vocals into a polished, immersive experience.
At the core of V.B.O. lies a neon-drenched vision of excess, elegance, and cinematic nightlife—echoing the glamour and danger of cities like Miami. Themes of power, luxury, passion, and excess define the project, presenting the band almost as a stylized gang where image and attitude are as essential as the music.
The band made its live debut in January 2026 at the 70000 Tons of Metal festival in the United States, stepping onto one of the world’s most recognized international stages.
Since its inception, V.B.O. has positioned itself as a distinctive force in contemporary music, merging rock and metal energy with electronic groove and texture. More than a band, Vice Business Only delivers a complete audiovisual experience—a high-stakes journey through a retro-futuristic universe where the rhythm never slows and the attitude is larger than life.
