RADIANCE formed in 2004 in Palermo, Italy , thanks to Federica Viola, guitarist of the band. The band started its live performances with an all-female line up, performing some’80s hard rock & heavy metal covers around their city. Along with the live activity the band began to compose its own music. During the following years they took part to many contests and festivals, spreading their name...through the underground. Afterwards the band gave up the all-female line up, recruiting other talented musicians (such as Fabio Accardo ), and with newfound serenity started working on the creation of their distinctive sound, made up of obscure, screaming guitars with the evocative vocals of Karin Baldanza. The debut official EP titled “...And The Night Comes Down” was released at the end of 2008. It found unexpected success and critics confirmations, encouraging the band in their quest for refinement and progression.
After more than a year of rehearsals and composing the band, formed by Federica Viola, Karin Baldanza, Fabio Accardo and Elio Lao, succeed in the attempt to shape their sound. Joining their forces they merged different musical visions into a dark and heavy metal soul with an eclectic, power-progressive rhythm section. Great significance hold vocals, sweeping from a modern and experimental conception to an ancient and epic greek lamentation.
In 2012 they finally give birth to the their first full length, recorded at Criterion Studios (PA) and Audia Manent Studios (TP) , and mixed by Alex Argento.
During the last months of the year the band received an offer by My Kingdom Music a label that has followed the band since their early days. RADIANCE signed immediately a deal with the label and the album, titled Undying Diabolyca” will be released on March 2013.
