21 October 2022 ,White Skull is a well-known Italian Power Metal Band that has been delivering superlative Metal songs since the 90s. Sharp voice, screaming guitars, hammering rhythms, a stunning mixture of power and melody: the result is an enthralling and gripping sound, coming from the true Metal hearts of energetic and inspired musicians.
Unable to play live during the pandemic, the band focused on a new project lead by Marco Donè (Italian Metal Journalist): the band´s memories and remarkable stories recorded and treasured in a book. While working on the book "The Soul of the Skull" Federica and Tony perceived the need of writing an album inspired by it. Music and lyrics that would not only describe the events told in the book but transmit to the audience a wide range of emotions along with a clear statement of what Metal means to the band. As soon as the lockdown was lifted the band gathered back together in the rehearsal room to pin down the new ideas. Right from the kick start it was clear that Vale, the new entry, was the perfect fit the Skulls needed to fire up the renewed Metal engine. Fast thundering rhythmic section powered by a new ignition spark and hyper charged by melodies and harmonies produced by bewitching vocals and magnetic keyboard arrangements. All assembled to make the metal crowd roar! The new album is blessed by renewed and powerful energy that bounces from song to song with a level of intensity and magnitude superior to all previous albums because, when forged with passion, true Metal Never Rusts!
