Deathriders were born in 2001 from a Marco Monacelli and Cristiano Coppa’s idea, two adolescent hungry for heavy metal, in the area of Fabriano. The first incarnation is destined to have a short life and the project continues later with a brand new line-up (including Alessio Monacelli and Fabiano Pietrini) and a new awareness of the band’s potential, also thanks to the guitarwork of Francesco Pellegrini. The ensemble plays in the whole Marche’s area together with other local bands. They record the “Up the Hammers!†demo in 2004 with the singer Marco Stagnozzi soon replaced by the more powerful and expressive Valerio Gaoni. The new line-up records the “When Everything Lies†demo, well reviewed by critics and webzine(7..10 on Metal Maniac). In 2007 Fabiano Pietrini leaves the band, the band keeps proceeding with only two guitars. 2008 is a decisive year for Death Riders, which record the professional “Inner Synthesis†demo, again well reviewed and appreciated. The 2008 DeathRiders are represented by the rhythmic section by Alessio, Marco and Cristiano, the killer solos by Francesco and Valerio’s crystal voice. The album opens with a symphonic intro enriched by Leonardo DaVinci’s aforisms , then proceeds with “Iraâ€, a fast thrash song, the melancholic “Far Awayâ€, the epic “Hidden Force†and the catchy but heavy “Damnation Dawnâ€. DeathRiders fan grow everyday while the band keeps on composing in search for a label and live concerts. The sound has become now more aggressive but in the meantime progressive than before. We want you to Join the DeathClub! Prepare for the onslaught, Deathriders are back, hungrier than ever!
