Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are proud to announce all the details of the official debut album by Nightblaze, the new Italian AOR sensation. Nightblaze began in 2021 as the brainchild of Italian composer, multi-istrumentalist and producer Dario Grillo (Platens , Violet Sun), with the intent to create a solid, up-to-date sound with deep 80’s melodic rock influences.
Rising Italian rock star, Damiano Libianchi (Perfect View), was hired on vocals, and the full line-up was completed by the involvement of Dario’s brother, Alessandro Grillo (Platens, Violet Sun, Verdemela) on drums, and Federica Raschellà (Steel Tyrant, Evil Eyes) on bass.
“Nightblaze” will set a high bar for melodic rock music in 2024, thanks to a collection of songs with infectious hooks, big vocals and a tight musicianship, all crafted in a bombastic 80’s production sound. The release of the eponymous debut album is scheduled for March 22, 2024 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. The CD booklet features introductory liner notes written by Ant Heeks (Fireworks Magazine), while cover art and CD graphics have been developed by Aeglos Art Photo (Wheels Of Fire, Platens, StreetLore, Raintimes, Room Experience).
