It's been since 1994 that VALIANCE (formerly founded
and known with monicker TIXOTROPIA) rumble along the
stages of Italy, their home country, gathering great
feedback and criticisms from the audience and specialized
press.
They first entered the studio in 1996 to record the
demo-tape "Killing the pigs killer" (TOP-DEMO
on Italian mag "METAL SHOCK") releasing 5
tracks directly inspired by NWOBHM.
Line-up changes didn't stop the race of the band which
gave birth to "Time Enchanter" demo-cd In
1999, being announced by a 2-tracks promo titled "Beyond
the line" one year before, to give to the metal
press a little taste of the natural evolution of their
sound. "Time Enchanter" brought to the band
an incredibile number of enthusiastic criticisms all
over the world…every magazines, fanzines and metal
guys seemed to enjoy very much the progressive and symphonic
influences included into the sound of the band, questing
for a personal style, melting aggressive metal attitude
and orchestral passages!
All this success led the band to the attention of BLACK
LOTUS RECS. Which offered them a deal, very soon signed.
The year 2000 signed the release of VALIANCE's debut
album "The Unglorious Conspiracy" and now….THEY'RE
BACK!!! A brand-new chapter of their sound evolution
has been written!!!
"WAYFARING", their 2nd full-lenght album is
a concentration of a killer sound (dare to take a listen
to the wall of 7-strings guitars) aggressiveness and
melody, shattering the cliché of power metal!!!!
Recorded at "ZAPPING SOUND STUDIO" , the band
obtained a fat, monstrous production, letting the listeners
enjoy so much every single note!
The Japanese version includes an incredibile, bombastic
cover version of "The crown and the ring"
from MANOWAR!!!
Which step will be made in the future by the band? Wherever
their musical growth will lead them, you can count on
this: IT WAS….IS….AND WILL EVER BE HEART-INSPIRED
METAL MUSIC!!!! |
