The release date of the PLEONEXIA album "Break All Chains" is January 17th, 2014. The preorder phase will start on January 3rd, 2014 in puresteel-shop.com.
PLEONEXIA, which was founded in Turin/Italy in 2012. The sextet describes their music as “philosophical metal”; but you could also say that it is an interesting and fascinating mixture of classic Heavy Metal, some epic influences and a small dose of earthy, honest Hard Rock.
The ten songs on the debut album “Break All Chains” all convince with discreet keyboard/synthesizer passages, clear but powerful vocals by frontman Michele Da Pila, virtuosic, partly double guitar leads and a precise drumming, without sounding in the least dull or uninspired. Sing-along-compatible, sometimes almost anthem-like choruses, a driving double bass and some slightly progressive or quieter parts can all be found on this album.
“Break All Chains” really holds the promise of its name. This long-player features lots of delightful elements of traditional Heavy Metal as a matter of course!

Break All Chains - 2014
{tab=Biography:}
The Pleonexia are a ‘Philosophic metal’ band from Turin, they play a mix of 1980s hard rock and heavy metal with marked epic influences and with lyrics that encompass philosophical subjects. “Pleonexia” is an ancient Greek term roughly meaning ‘covetousness’ ; it was often used to express the insatiable desire to have what rightfully belongs to others. However, the band reads that term with a positive significance, as one of the best qualities of man, that causes him never to accept passively his conditions but inciting him to try overtaking his limits.
The project born in 2012 from the one man band Michele Da Pila. The current line up is composed of six members: Michele Da Pila (vocals, guitars and keyboards), Federico Fondrini (guitars/backing vocals), Leonardo Manoiero (guitars/backing vocals), Davide Arneri (bass/ backing vocals), Lorenzo Luca (keyboards), Stefano Clara (drums/ backing vocals).
In 2013 they signed a worldwide deal with german label Pure Underground Records / Pure Steel Records.
