To celebrate the 35th discographic anniversary of the Band and the forthcoming 40th since its formation, Music for the Masses has the honour to announce the agreement with legendary Italian metallers Skanners for the release of their first Greatest Hits which goes through the Band’s whole career.
Skanners are with no doubt one of the most important and representative bands of Italian Heavy Metal, one of the few deserving the definition of “Legendary”. Kicking off back in 1982 and debuting in 1986 with “Dirty Armada”, released for a Major Label, the then very active CGD, which also released the following “Pictures of War” in 1988, the Band has ever since kept up its identity and dignity, always far from trend-following and staying true to its Metal Belief, supported by great composition and talent, together with Claudio Pisoni’s voice. These have always been the trademarks of the Band.
The Greatest hits, produced by Music for the Masses is scheduled for release on October 22nd on cd format and features 16 tracks drawn from the entire rich Band’s repertoire, tracing an actual musical biography which will satisfy die hard fans but will also be able to attract new listeners to their musical craft.
And, for this special release, a new, unreleased song entitled “Under the Grave” will be on the album.
The album will be distributed by Egea Music (Italy), Code 7 (Europe), Sleaszy Rider Records (USA), Wormholedeath Japan and Music for the Masses Distro. In addition, it will be available on all digital platforms.

They are one of the longest-running and beloved band of the Italian Metal scene with a career that now comes close to four decades, SKANNERS have no intention of stopping their race. Following their successful album “Temptation” released on Alpha Omega Records, today the band reveals a new single.
The lyric video for “Back To The Past” is now available here:
The song has been chosen by the band for its clear references to the past, without nostalgic feelings, but a proud look at a story that will see its end when the time comes. Certainly not soon.
Joy and pain, sweat and fatigue, disappointments and satisfactions: feelings that make a band’s career something unique and true. This is what SKANNERS want to celebrate together with their fans.
For the video the band worked with the famous video maker Stefano Mastronicola, who used some rare photos taken from the band’s historical archive.

This is what Claudio Pisoni, frontman of the Band said:
“When we were contacted by the promoter who managed the Doro’s tour we almost couldn’t believe it. An unforgettable adventure was beginning. We knew we were welcome in Russia but we did not expect all the warmth we received from our Russian fans. For this reason we decided to immortalize these fantastic events by doing what we do best. The news is not over, the Skanners still have a lot to say!”
“Rolling in The Fire” is taken from the band’s latest album “Temptation”, released on April 26th 2019 in Europe via Self Distribuzione Milano and CODE 7 /Plastic Head UK for ALPHA OMEGA Records!
