[steel-prophet]

ADRAMELCH sign a worldwide deal with PURE PROG RECORDS/PURE STEEL RECORDS!
Hell Yeah, ADRAMELCH – the cultband from Italy sign a worldwide deal with PURE PROG RECORDS, a sublabel of well-known PURE STEEL RECORDS. It will be the first release at this progressive rock and progressive metal specialized label.
The new masterpiece "Lights From Oblivion" will be released on 27th of April 2012 – it´s the date of the first day of KEEP IT TRUE festival, where the band will play.

The band states:

“Thanks to PURE PROG / PURE STEEL we are given the opportunity to spread around, once again, our metal prog rock.
We are really excited to be back after some years in partnership with such a label that deeply believes in our believes!
Hear it all, Hear it loud!”

Andreas Lorenz from the label is euphoric:

“ADRAMELCH for me has always been one of the leading cult bands in the whole music scene. It’s a long time, but now they are back again! A dream comes true, a new album is ready AND we have the honour to release "Lights From Oblivion"! As I heard the rough mixes it was clear that the band has found again the way to be ahead, this time in a different way. ADRAMELCH’s new material shows a more mature band, knowing 150% what they do. “Lights From Oblivion” has a unique beauty, each song is perfectly defined and arranged, and each song is a little masterpiece full of feeling.

Far away from the overproduced average music, ADRAMELCH shows once more clearly, how possible is to insert progressive parts and define melodies, never sounding unnatural and artificial. And everything backed with a unique sound, crystal clear and never redundant. I personally find “Lights From Oblivion” the best and most moving album of the latest years, if not of the whole last decade.
It will be the first release on Pure Prog Records – we couldn’t start better!”



Line-Up:

lead & backing vocals - Vittorio Ballerio

electric & acoustic guitar, choirs - Gianluca A. Corona

"Lights From Oblivion" - the new masterpiece of ADRAMELCH - was released on 27th of April 2012 (gig on Keep It True-Festival) worldwide.

ADRAMELCH - a name enthused by admirers of Progressive Metal since decades! But this is just the beginning, because soon enough more music lovers will join the praise, as this Italian band is ready to open a new chapter in their legendary history!
In 1988 ADRAMELCH released their fabulous debut »Irae Melanox« and became a cult band - despite the fact that they split up quite soon. After the musicians found together again in 2004 they were digging lost treasures for release on next years' sophomore album »Broken History«. They finally recorded these songs, that could not have been released due to the untimely death of the band.
But it was not satisfying enough for ADRAMELCH to just polish their old repertoire, it was also a question of honour to deliver new songs to the fans. But how would these "new" ADRAMELCH sound? How would these new tunes, that were created more than 20 years after the cult works from the eighties, turn out to be? We are just about to find out the answer to this thrilling question, as the band has just completed their third masterpiece »Lights From Oblivion«
Of course - and more or less unavoidable - this new album sounds different to the predecessors from the past, but is still clearly to be identified as craft from the hands of ADRAMELCH. Just the unique voice of Vittorio Ballerio would be enough to distinguish this group among million others. In addition we can always find that characteristic style of composing songs like a personal fingerprint for the band.

Supported by a clear and breathing production the music of ADRAMELCH sounds nowadays more manifold than ever, has a more rocking drive, allows melancholic-meditative moments, without losing its' down-to-earth and heavy base. Above all that typical triumphant and anthem-like charakter of ADRAMELCH has bigger effect than before, making »Lights From Oblivion« simply addictive. The mastering, that took place in the world-famous "Finnvox"-studios helped the creation of a powerful and dynamic sound without covering these vital fine details.
With their new album ADRAMELCH did not take the easy path by copying themselves, but developed their style with a great sense of phantasy, which gives them any possibilities for the future to come. With »Lights From Oblivion« they will inspire their present fans as well as reaching new listeners, that were not used to the band before. This comes because ADRAMELCH prove in 2012 once again, that they are one of these precious phenomena, that music history very rarely bears!
