Volturian – the Modern Metal band founded by singer Federica Lanna (Sleeping Romance) and songwriter Federico Mondelli (Frozen Crown) – have released an official visualizer-video for the song ‘New Life’, the first single taken from their debut-album ‘Crimson’ (out on April 24th, 2020, on Scarlet Records).

Watch the video here:

Based on the huge contrast between mellow, dreamy female vocals and heavy downtuned guitar riffs, with a massive infusion of electronic music, the Volturian’s sound is catchy, epic and dynamic at the same time. Lanna’s pristine and ethereal vocals move fluently between slow paced groovy songs and rigid, Industrial inspired hymns, held together by Mondelli’s Swedish Death Metal oriented guitar riffs (early 2000 In Flames and Soilwork) and by the powerful and precise drumming of the young talent Alberto Mezzanotte. Keyboards add a fundamental layer to Volturian’s music, ranging from New Wave to 90’s Europop to obscure gothic atmospheres.

Tracklist:

01. Crimson Dust
02. New Life
03. Haunting Symphony
04. Broken
05. The Killing Joke
06. In a Heartbeat (featuring Frozen Crown’s Giada “Jade” Etro)
07. Between the Sleepers
08. Days Before You Died
09. Forevermore
10. Fading Like a Flower (Roxette cover)

"Crimson" is a set of catchy, agile and straightforward songs built around Federica Lanna's powerful and seductive vocals, born from the will to explore new unexpressed sides of her personality. During the creative process, the sodalice between Federica and songwriter Federico Mondelli gave life to unexpected results, much different from both artists' main bands. But still, Volturian's debut album shines with its own strong and precise personality, mixing old school elements with modern ones to create something unique.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Andrea Fusini at Fusix Studio.

‘Crimson’ is also graced by a stunning artwork created by Federico Mondelli himself.
