BIANCA RELEASE "BIANCA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Bianca

Bianca

Label: Avantgarde Music

Release date: October 31st, 2025

Formats: CD / LP / Digital

Country: Italy

Genre: atmospheric black metal

Bianca is an exploration steeped in the subversive fire of black metal, with a penchant for doom and atmospheric resonances, centered around a female identity that spans different dimensions, from an ethereal presence to a primal rawness.

The music was born in 2024 with a series of demos composed by β and Ͷ. ES (Hideous Divinity, Patristic) stepped in, shapeshifting the songs and giving the band a new form. Sathrath (Nocturnal Depression) joined the final recording sessions with his thunderous black metal touch.

Produced by Bianca's first self-titled album is an enigmatic eight-step journey into the power of the human mind and the unconscious dimension as a messenger of precious insights for interpreting reality. A deep dive into the non-material aspects of human life and their transformative potential. No idea of religion, but a radical atheist and humanistic stance within the musical language of black metal, merging melodic nuances in an atmospheric embrace. A sorrowful struggle runs through the veins of Bianca’s music, chilling to the core, yet captivating and transporting the listener to uncertainty.

Avantgarde Music will release 'Bianca' on CD, LP, and digital on October 31st, 2025.

Band Biography – Solar Sons

Hailing from Dundee, Scotland, Solar Sons are a high-energy rock and metal trio who twist traditional heavy metal with modern groove, a sprinkling of stoner/doom, and touches of progressive rock.

Rory Lee (bass & vocals) delivers both powerful low-end precision and soaring, dynamic vocal lines.

Danny Lee (guitar) brings the big riffs, scorching lead breaks, and driving hooks.

Pete Garrow (drums) anchors the band with thunderous rhythm and relentless energy.

Since their formation in 2016, Solar Sons have self-released five albums, with their last two (2021 and 2023) earning widespread praise across the underground heavy scene. Their music has been featured and positively reviewed by Doomed and Stoned, Weedian, Outlaws of the Sun, The Obelisk, Ave Noctum, and many more international platforms.

On stage, Solar Sons are a proven live force. They’ve toured extensively throughout Scotland and England, sharing stages with Green Lung, Weedpecker, and King Witch (with Rory also serving as bassist/vocalist for King Witch). Their most notable performances include Bloodstock Festival in 2017 and 2022, plus headline London shows in 2023 and 2024.

Now, with their upcoming release Altitude on Argonauta Records, Solar Sons are ready to take their riff-driven, high-octane sound to a greater audience than ever before.
