The forthcoming
album "Growing Apart" sees 10 songs shaped around
the classy drumming of Scott Rockenfield and melodic
vocals of Goran Edman which fuse hard rock and heavy
metal with progressive elements.
Formed in the
early 90’s by Cianciusi and Parente at a very young
age, the band released the self-produced e.p.
“Future To Past” and then in 1998 the full length
album entitled “Inside You” which saw distributions
worldwide by 99th Floor. During those years Headless
performed in Italy supporting more established metal
acts. The band then disbanded in 2000. The two
guitarists (and songwriters) then reunited in 2011
and started working on the new songs which appear on
“Growing Apart”.
Walter Cianciusi
comments, “We began writing the album at the
beginning of 2012. It’s been a long process because
Headless is an international band and it's not easy
to arrange meetings and rehearsals. We mainly used
the internet to talk to each other and properly
arrange the songs. We have the precious ability to
record in our personal studios so we don’t feel the
pressure of studio time. The album was recorded in
different locations around the world (Sweden, Italy,
USA) and mastered in Hollywood at Universal
MusicStudios by Peter Doell (R.E.M., Marilyn Manson,
David Lee Roth)”.
Lyrically there
is a main subject matter in the songs: according to
psychology Growing Apart is the reason why
relationships come to an end. The band analysed how
relationships between friends, lovers, man and God
change and self-destruct through the years and put
these ideas into the different songs.
"Growing Apart"
gets its digital release through Lion Music on 7th
June 2013.
