Today Italian power metallers FROM THE DEPTH unveil the third single “Sweet Dreams” feat. Giorgia Colleluori (IT’sALIE, Rock Meets Classic).
“Here’s the third and final single taken from our EP ‘Nights Of Summer Side’. Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams’ is another masterpiece which we absolutely had to pay tribute to.

We couldn’t ask for better!“, comments the band’s singer and leader Raffaele “Raffo” Albanese.
The singles “Catch The Fox” (Den Harrow), “What is Love” (Haddaway) featuring Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth) and “Sweet Dreams” (Eurythmics) which features Giorgia Colleluori (IT’sALIE, Rock Meets Classic) were mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio.

“Even if Covid-19 pandemic forced us to stop our live and rehearsal activities, we decided to keep us busy. We started recording a cover for the production of the upcoming album. Shortly the project became bigger, and we recorded 3 singles just for fun. Everybody loves those songs and we still headbang when we listen to them! It was really funny, and we hope the listeners will love them as much as we do. And if you are looking for some real heavy metal, don’t worry you won’t have to wait too much…”, comments the band.
FROM THE DEPTH is a power metal band formed in Parma (Italy) in 2008. With the first stable line-up they released the first demo “The Will To Be The Flame” which let them get their first label deal to release the first worldwide distributed album “Back To Life”.

The band underwent a series of line-up changes that brought the latest members with two guitars and no keyboards, giving the band a more “aggressive” approach. FROM THE DEPTH is currently signed to Rockshots Records and they’re endorsed by Solar Guitars.
Italian power metallers FROM THE DEPTH have unveiled the second single taken from their upcoming EP “Nights of Summer Side”. “What is Love”, the well-known Haddaway’s hit, features LABYRINTH’s frontman Roberto Tiranti.
“Here is the second single taken from our summer EP ‘Nights Of Summerside’. We really love this song. Haddaway’s ‘What is Love’ is a Eurodance gem that takes us back to our teenage years and it is a must in any party playlist worthy of its name. For the occasion, we invited our friend Roberto Tiranti from Labyrinth to make it even more special. We hope you enjoy it and that it will become the soundtrack of your summer”, comments the band.

After the successful collaboration for the release of the sophomore album “Moments“, Italy’s power metallers FROM THE DEPTH and record label Rockshots Records join forces again to release the 10th Anniversary Edition of the band’s debut album “Back to Life“.
The new edition of the record was totally re-mixed and re-mastered by Santo Clemenzi (bass player of the band) at Angle Room Studio, and includes two bonus tracks: the first one was re-recorded by the current line-up (incl. Davide Castro, former keyboard player and current studio arranger), the second one features Apollo Papathanasio duetting with Raffaele “Raffo” Albanese who re-recorded the whole song.
Singer and leader of the band Raffaele “Raffo” Albanese comments about the new release: “After ten years from the release and some years from the sold-out, we decided to release a new version of the album which allowed us to hit many – amazing – stages all around Europe. It would have been too much easy to re-record it, but I believe that each record has its own story, with strenghts and weaknesses, even for an emotional matter. This is why we gave it to Santo Clemenzi who made a sound update thanks to a new mixing and a new mastering, without distorting the original performance of the debut. We relied on Rockshots Records again, after the excellent experience we had on the release of “Moments”, as we are pretty sure they will give the proper value to this special edition.“
“Back To Life (10th Anniversary Edition)” will be released by Rockshots Records on February 19, 2021, and it’s available for pre-order at the record label’s official store: http://bit.ly/BackToLife_CD

Recently, the band has also shared the cover version of “La Vita Fugge“, originally recorded by Vision Divine, released in 2020 as a bonus track for the Japanese edition of “Moments“:
Italian power metallers FROM THE DEPTH are sharing their third single “Somewhere“ off their second full-length album “Moments” set for release on August 28, 2020 via Rockshots Records.
The band comments about the track: “You can call it “ballad” if you want but we think this song is for sure something more than a usual ballad. It has a special mood and a very emotional melody, we were almost moved when we listened back we recorded after the vocal sessions with Raffo. Lyrics were written just before the recording session, everything came out so natural that we almost couldn’t believe what we got at the end. Davide Castro’s keyboards here reached really the next level, astonishing job.“
Punchy and aggressive, fans who have been waiting since 2014’s EP “Perseverance”, are now rewarded with From The Depth‘s new 10 track album. Entitled “Moments”, the full length is a series of personal occasions in the band members’ lives that they are reliving through their music, from hard times to the anniversary of the group forming.
In the band’s own words: “’Moments‘ is a way to celebrate relevant memories and episodes of everyday life while time passes by. Each aspect of the production has been taken care of with extreme attention to detail from song structure to the final master; nothing has been left to chance and we did our best to get out the most from each session during songwriting.”
After years of hard times, they are now fully operational with a killer stable lineup, and with the new partnership with Rockshots Records, From the Depth is ready to show fans what they have been working on. Starting as a power metal cover band with a distinct “melodic mindset”, From The Depth has come a long way since 2008, and the maturity and refinement really show in this new chapter.
