EX: Il ritorno della storica band veronese con un nuovo album di puro combat rock

 


EX: "Combattere Sempre" – Il ritorno della storica band veronese con un nuovo album di puro combat rock


Verona, 28 Aprile 2025 – Dopo sei anni di silenzio discografico, gli EX tornano a far sentire la loro voce con "Combattere Sempre", il nuovo attesissimo album in uscita per Andromeda Relix/Heart of Steel Records. Un lavoro che conferma la band come una delle realtà più autentiche e combattive del panorama rock italiano, capace di fondere l'energia del rock anni '70 con l'Heavy degli 80's, il tutto con testi in italiano diretti e viscerali.


Nati a Verona nel 1997 dall'unione di musicisti attivi nella scena rock italiana fin dai primi anni '80 – tra cui ex membri degli storici Spitfire, una delle prime metal band italiane – gli EX hanno costruito nel tempo un sound personale, lontano dai cliché anglosassoni, che la critica ha definito "spaghetti rock" o "pasta rock". Una miscela esplosiva di riff potenti, ritmi incalzanti e liriche che raccontano storie di periferia, ribellione e libertà.


Con "Combattere Sempre", la band riafferma la propria identità di combat rockers: un'attitudine che si traduce in brani essenziali e diretti, dove la protesta sociale si fonde con una visione urbana cruda e disillusa. Ogni traccia è un pugno allo stomaco, un grido di resistenza contro l'omologazione e l'ipocrisia, mantenendo intatta quella carica emotiva che ha reso le esibizioni dal vivo degli EX uno spettacolo travolgente e autentico.


"Combattere Sempre" è una esortazione a non arrendersi mai, a restare fedeli a se stessi e continuare a suonare con la stessa passione e intensità di sempre.


L'album che è stato registrato presso "Opal Art Studio " di Fabio Serra, con Mastering by Roberto Priori presso "Pri Studio" sarà disponibile dal 28 Aprile 2025 su tutte le principali piattaforme digitali e nei migliori negozi di dischi.



NOTA: La band è stata inclusa nel progetto "Roccaccio" un viaggio attraverso il tempo e lo spazio della cultura musicale nazionale, una compilation promozionale in CD, un'enciclopedia dedicata al Roccaccio, un moniker che vuole esprimere uno stile, un'attitudine, una dichiarazione di intenti con quei suoni distorti, spesso sottovalutati, denigrati, soffocati dalla polvere del tempo, che hanno animato cantine, piccoli club, festival indipendenti e stereo domestici. Il brano scelto per la collection si intitola "Salto nel vuoto".

AXE HERO Bomb news of the day!



Dopo quasi quarant'anni e per la prima volta AXE HERO esce come da tradizione legata agli anni 80,  in formato VINILE!! Ecco la news ufficiale di Aua Records e Heart Of Steel Records: "Seconda uscita Febbraio 2023, da Vicenza Axe Hero: raccolta di 4 brani dai master originali usciti su demo tra il 1984-1985: It's Rock, Violence Of Pleasure, Come Back e I'll Fly. Le prime copie conterranno come extra la riproduzione del flyer originale del gruppo del 1984 e la riproduzione della cartolina promozionale della King Klassic dell'epoca. Anche questo volume potete ordinarlo su auashop " #axehero #80sitalianmetal #italianmetallegion 😜🤘 https://auashop.com/product/?axehero




La storia:

Nati ufficialmente nel 1981 con il nome di AXE HERO sono certamente una delle prime Hard and Heavy metal bands apparse in Italia. Costituiti dall'asse portante dei Galliazzo brothers, Mirko DeFox alla voce e David Johansen alla batteria debuttano con la prima demotape immediatamente (intitolata "Drive in metal" e registrata artigianalmente in sala prove) raccogliendo i primi tiepidi riscontri dalle primordiali  e underground fanzine. 

Nel 1983 esce la prima vera demo intitolata "Brainstorm" che contiene due songs che ricevono subito complimenti entusiastici, vale a dire "Lovin'Japan" e "Countryside" con la band che si è stabilizzata con Dave Moby Laperni alla chitarra e Fabio Pico Duarte al basso. Inizia un intensa attività live che porta i nostri ad aprire come gruppo "spalla" le serate a personaggi del music system televisivo come Jo Squillo, Garbo, i comici Gigi & Andrea e la soubrette Alba Parietti. 

Dopo poco tempo sull'onda di un soddisfacente entusiasmo la band pubblica una nuova cassetta demo "It' Rock (Against all)" che riscuote importanti e positive recensioni su tutti i migliori Rock magazines, da ricordare alcune pubblicazioni; nel magazine "Metal Forces" considerato la Bibbia metallica britannica, su "Shock Power" zine tedesca, su "Barst" in Belgio. Il gruppo si guadagna un ottima fama live grazie alle performances agli heavy metal fest di Padova (con Crying Steel, Hocculta e Devils Claws) e Verona dove viene presentato uno show molto shockante, con modelle seminude e culturisti travestiti da giustizieri.




Nell'1985 gli Axe Hero vengono contattati dalla label americana King Klassik Records (Hellcatz, Wrath) che invita la band a partecipare con un brano alla compilation di nuove band emergenti. Il duo dei Galliazzo brothers reclutano a fianco del fidato Dave Moby alla seconda chitarra l'ex Captain Kill (in seguito Xipe) Piero Albanese e al basso Cesco Laperni. Con  questa line-up entrano nei prestigiosi studios Space Station ed incidono la canzone "Come back".

Il disco della label americana non verrà realizzato ed il brano viene così incluso nella tape "3°act" (1986) la prima a nome X-HERO, che presenta anche la nuova line-up con Alex Stornello alla chitarra (proveniente da una band italoamericana distaccata presso la base N.a.t.o. di Napoli) ed al basso e tastiere Paul Blondie Gidoni, membro fondatore della band, presente nella prima demo tape.

Arrivano recensioni entusiastiche da mezzo mondo sopratutto dagli States dove il magazine rock più venduto "Aardshock America" tributa a Mirko De Fox la palma di migliore vocalist europeo in campo Metal, da ricordare la rivista peruviana "Cuero negro", il magazine brazilero "Rock Brigade", il portoghese "Brigada metal power" e il nipponico e ipercommerciale "Burrn".

In questo periodo alcune registrazioni tratte dalle prime due demo degli AXE HERO vengono riversate in un master e stampate in formato vinile a 33 giri senza autorizzazione della band e fatte circolare nella Ex Yugoslavia. Mirco Galliazzo attraverso una azione legale blocca la circolazione e distribuzione dell'album.

Mirko e soci entrano nell'Aprile '87 negli "Space Station studios" e registrano il debut album omonimo che verrà pubblicato a Settembre dall'etichetta romana Fly by Night con distribuzione Dischi Ricordi (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dischi_Ricordi). 

La stampa italiana esalta subito il disco e la band (“Ciao 2001”, "Metal Shock", la rivista "H.M.", "Flash", "Tuttifrutti"...) anche programmi radiofonici importanti (radio RAI, Radio Peter Flowers...) trasmettono le canzoni degli eroi, mentre la prima tiratura in vinile viene esaurita in poco tempo. I consensi positivi portano alla ristampa su vinile ed alla realizzazione di un numero limitato di copie in cassetta e compact disc con distribuzione Fly by Night e in Europa con Neat Records (famosa label inglese che ha lanciato Venom, Tygers of Pan Tang, Jaguar...). 

La storia continua ...



BOOM!!!! 💣 Bomb news of the day!! #axehero 🤘 After almost forty years and for the first time Axe Hero comes out in VINYL format!! Here is the official news from Aua Records: 

"Second release February 2023, from Vicenza Axe Hero: collection of 4 tracks from the original masters released on demo between 1984-1985: "It's Rock", "Violence Of Pleasure", "Come Back" and "I'll Fly". The first copies they will contain as an extra the reproduction of the original 1984 flyer of the group and the reproduction of the King Klassic promotional postcard of the time. You can also order this volume on auashop " #axehero #80sitalianmetal #italianmetallegion 😜🤘 https://auashop.com/product /?axehero



History:

Officially born in 1981 with the name of AX HERO they are certainly one of the first Hard and Heavy metal bands to appear in Italy.

Formed by the backbone of the Galliazzo brothers, Mirko DeFox on vocals and David Johansen on drums debuted with their first demo tape immediately (entitled "Drive in metal" and handcrafted recorded in the rehearsal room) collecting the first quietly feedback from the primordial underground fanzines.

In 1983 the first real demo titled "Brainstorm" was released which contains two songs that immediately received enthusiastic compliments, namely "Lovin'Japan" and "Countryside" with the band stabilized with Dave Moby Laperni on guitar and Fabio Pico Duarte on bass . An intense live activity begins which leads our band to open the evenings as a "support" group for characters from the television music system such as Jo Squillo, Garbo, the comedians Gigi & Andrea and the soubrette Alba Parietti. After a short time, on the wave of a satisfactory enthusiasm, the band releases a new demo tape "It'Rock (Against all)" which receives important and positive reviews on all the best Rock magazines, to remember some publications; in "Metal Forces" magazine considered the British metal bible, in German "Shock Power" zine, in "Barst" in Belgium. The group earns an excellent live reputation thanks to the performances at the heavy metal fests in Padova (with Crying Steel, Hocculta and Devils Claws) and Verona where a very shocking show is presented, with half-naked models and bodybuilders dressed up as executioners.

In 1985 Ax Hero were contacted by the American label King Klassik Records (Hellcatz, Wrath) who invited the band to participate with a song in the compilation of new emerging bands. The Galliazzo brothers duo recruited alongside the trusted Dave Moby and on second guitar the ex Captain Kill (later Xipe) Piero Albanese and Cesco Laperni on bass. With this line-up they enter the prestigious Space Station studios and record the song "Come back".

The album of the American label will not be released and the song is thus included in the tape "3rd act" (1986) the first under the name X-HERO, which also presents the new line-up with Alex Stornello on guitar (coming from a band Italian-American based in Napoli) and on bass and keyboards Paul Blondie Gidoni, founding member of the band, present in the first demo tape.

Enthusiastic reviews arrive from all over the world especially from the States where the best-selling rock magazine "Aardshock America" pays tribute to Mirko De Fox as the best European vocalist in the Metal genre, to remember the Peruvian magazine "Cuero negro", the Brazilian magazine "Rock Brigade ", the Portuguese "Brigada metal power" and the Japanese and hypercommercial "Burrn".

In this period some recordings taken from the first two AX HERO demos are poured into a master and printed in 33 rpm vinyl format without the band's authorization and circulated in the Ex Yugoslavia. Mirco Galliazzo through a legal action blocks the circulation and distribution of the album.

Mirko and partners entered the "Space Station studios" in April '87 and recorded the homonymous debut album which will be released in September by the Roman label Fly by Night with distribution by Dischi Ricordi (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dischi_Ricordi).

The Italian press immediately praised the album and the band ("Ciao 2001", "Metal Shock","H.M. magazine","Flash","Tuttifrutti"...) also important radio programs (RAI radio, Radio Peter Flowers. ..) broadcast the songs of the heroes, while the first vinyl pressing sold out in a short time. The positive acclaim led to the reissue on vinyl and the creation of a limited number of copies in cassette and compact disc with Fly by Night distribution and in Europe with Neat Records (famous English label that launched Venom, Tygers of Pan Tang, Jaguar.. .).

The story continues ..



Spitfire MkIII Announce new album with Heart Of Steel Records



DEFOX RECORDS, HEART OF STEEL RECORDS and SPITFIRE MkIII announce with great pleasure the new record of the hystoric Italian band, with release scheduled for Sept.30th 2022.

The album, recorded and produced between June 2021 and June 2022 at the Opal Arts Studio by

Fabio Serra and mastered at the Pri Studio by Roberto Priori, is titled SHADOWS PHANTOMS NIGHTMARES and includes 12 unreleased songs (11 in the digital version), all original composition and some of which, such as Gangs Fight, Phantom Barrow and Screaming Steel, dated back to the 1980s.

The band, born as a quintet in 1981, became a quartet from 1983 to 1985, and then from 1986 took on the definitive trio structure, which is all that is needed to play rock'n'roll.

SPITFIRE MkIII - Giacomo “Giga” Gigantelli voice and bass, Stefano Pisani guitar, Luca Giannotta drums - with this new album they return to their roots with their classic metal in NWOIHM style; now, as mature but always essential musicians in the choice of arrangements, they have managed to bring together many years of experience in a tracklist full of suggestions, free from gender constraints but always faithful to the spirit of the first Italian metal.

This record, which follows 2010's Time and Eternity, already from the title reveals to be an almost concept album, in balance between old horror films and modern fears, between Hollywood and the hell of the many shadows that obscure the horizon daily. The power trio from Verona city has been able to maintain a balance between the classicism of metal and more current sounds, without losing the "true metal" spirit, which has characterized its long history, as demonstrated by songs like “Earthquake”, “Phantom Barrow”, “Screaming Steel” and “Sign of the Times”, that perhaps best define this alternation of styles. Although one of the songs that best identifies the spirit of the “new” Spitfire is “Beauty VS Beast”, the perfect bridge between past and present.


Track list:


1. Earthquake

2. The Eagles Are Laughing

3. Phantom Barrow

4. Once It Was Human (The Fly)

5. Spirit of the Blind Man

6. Screaming Steel

7. Gangs Fight

8. Golem of Prague

9. Sign of the Times

10. Beauty VS Beast

11. Winners Take All

12. Despair (Bonus track available only on CD)

X-HERO All Universe EP con Heart Of Steel Records


Mirko DeFox e gli X-HERO per celebrare il 30° dall'uscita del debut album, datato 1987, pubblicano un EP intitolato "All Universe" con quattro brani inediti, "All'Universe", "Long legs Razorblade","My ship knows" e la ballad "Winter soul"  registrati a metà degli anni 2000 presso i Vision Studios di Vicenza.

Come racconta Mirko, il repertorio della band in quegli anni si muoveva con sonorità legate al Melodic Hard Rock con venature raffinate di Prog Metal e Rock Fusion.
La costante ricerca di Mirko ad esplorare soluzioni stilistiche distanti dall'omologazione con i trend e i generi del momento, lo porta  a ideare un album diverso, più viscerale possibile, dove le glorie del passato sono appena percettibili e le tonalità, i riff e gli arrangiamenti diventano così una caotica raccolta di umori inespressi. 
L'album per vari motivi non vedrà mai la luce ma oggi dopo oltre un decennio alcuni brani registrati verranno pubblicati sotto forma di EP.



Con Mirko DeFox la  line-up si completava vedendo Herman Tonini (attuale axeman della band) e Paris Bertoldo alle chitarre, Davide Pangrazzi alla batteria e Ivano Pangrazzi al basso.
Gli X-HERO con questa formazione si sono esibiti live nel nord Italia e in Slovenija e Croazia, da ricordare le performance alle edizioni 2005 e 2007 dell'80's Italian Metal Legion" Festival, nel 2005 l'80's Italian Metal Legion WINTER's Season, i concerti con Bud Tribe, Rain, Dark Ages, Heat, Rosko's.
La visonaria cover artwork è realizzata dallo straordinario RRR Remi Real Rock per ANL.

L'EP è stato pubblicato il 31 di Marzo 2018 e distribuito in tutto il mondo sui migliori digital stores, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer, Google Play Music e molti altri.
