Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the release of “By The Moonlight”, the first single taken from “Midnight Supremacy”, the debut album of Italian dark ’n’ roll band, My Darkest Red. A video, shot by Moviedel Productions, is online on YouTube.
Singer Fabio Perini states: “By The Moonlight was one of the first songs written for our debut. I started composing the vocal line, and then I wrote the rhythm guitar part. We arranged the track in our rehearsal room, and every member of the band contributed. The final result was so good that we had no doubts in choosing it as the first single. In our opinion, it offers a glimpse into our musical style of deep and dark vocal parts, a pulsating rhythm section, melodic guitar riffs and solos. Organ and piano sheets add extra layers of darkness and melody to the track. The lyrics are intentionally vague so that everyone can interpret them according to his or her sensibility. In this case, the narrator seems to be interacting with someone, wondering about the meaning of a (eternal?) life in solitude, unfulfilled dreams, and remembering a happier time. Moonlight provides a backdrop to these moments of hope (or madness?) with the narrator lost in distant memories. Or perhaps he’s hoping to bring back the object of his longing, through a ritual that will resurrect his spirit”.
“Midnight Supremacy” is scheduled for release on September 27, 2024, distributed worldwide by Plastic Head Music Distribution. The CD booklet features the introductory liner notes written by Matteo Piotto (Meltalhead.it). Special guests include Mickey E.Vil (The Mugshots) on keyboards. The album was recorded at Sonic Bang Studio in Isorella (Brescia, Italy) under the guidance of Oscar Burato. The cover artwork was designed by acclaimed Italian photographer Michele Gusmeri (www.michelegusmeri.it).
