La leggenda dice che ci siano delle registrazioni inedite che potrebbero far resuscitare la band……………………................................ ..!!!! Noi vogliamo riunire gli Headblade e voi???...................................................... ................................Mitch bio: Headblade was born on 1997 from the idea of its three founders, Davide, Cene, Paolo, of bringing strong music back for good to the Venetian rock scene. The early days passed by playing covers of songs from bands that have influenced the most of the music taste of the three. Struggling seeking a bassist at the beginning, they have finally found the fourth member in Poldo, who will later cover the position but only for nearly one year. After recording their first own songs on a tape-cassette with the original line-up, the need of leaving Poldo behind became every day more urgent, his punk-orientated music (and life style) and the lack of enthusiasm was not getting along very well with a band that really wanted a taste of the showbiz. The final cut finally happened and it brought Davide, Paolo e Cene to meet a big guy named Stefano. During the first gig together at the Niagara club, with his left foot constantly on the top of his monitor and by hammering the strings, Stefano proves to be angry enough for joining Headblades. The fours make a steaming machine, the tunes are coming together and they do make crowds jump and scream during the live performances. Comments, critics, laughter come as a day routine from the "normal" inhabitants of their hometown, but that doesn't break them, it’s only making them every day stronger. After approximately three years of song writing and touring the time to record their tunes came. The whole lot of songs is potentially enough in terms of quantity for a L.P, but is quality what they are after and a demo c.d. seems to be the best idea. Being an independent band also means shortage of hard cash in most of the cases, recording requires a certain amount of founds that obviously had to come from the members pockets, this forced the band to try a low-cost solution that soon let everyone down. Headblade songs are fine works, and they deserved a high quality digital support, the almost home made recording they were experimenting was simply not good enough. The band got in a very bad mood, results were not coming the way they should and the cold, wet winter certainly did not help the situation. Instead it will be a person responsible for bringing the light back and for easing the headaches. Marino at the time was launching his own recording house, his vast music culture and experience is right what Davide, Paolo, Stefano and Cene needed and at the cost of their piggy banks, the demo became reality. With an open mind to any feedback, yet they have built their own style bringing a "venetian-art" touch that is probably more evident then ever on "Ted" guitars. This is also the only song written in Italian, where Ted reminds them that being punished for refusing to be an average human-being is part of the pride of the Headblades. I can't think, Ted, 01/01/2001, Break and Psycho (because every good metal band has a song called psycho) form Sten-cil, the demo that also marked the peak of the band's life. I'm not too sure about the rest of the group, but I first started to smell a break-up the day I was given a copy of the c.d. from Cene's hands. He was the probably the first who started to look out-side of the Nu metal scene in search of inspiration. When he discovered the Radioheads, his need for screaming out to the world the way he felt could not be longer kept locked behind his drum kit which, eventually, was exchanged one day for a keyboard and a mike after having left the band. The whole thing wasn’t holding together anymore, and had no more meaning of existence. Cene’s departure was not the reason, it was only one of the consequences of a slow decadence process that had started somewhere already before. Probably Sten-Cil was the dead-end, the point of the project, or it was simply the starting point for something else. As a matter of fact Paolo after a while started to fool around with a synth, and now together with Cene as the main voice is part of L-Ego. Stefano has two different projects where he plays with(myspace.com/shelldivingrace), as for Davide, he joined but then left Mu.St, where he was standing on his role of lead singer. Talking about Davide, the period he has spent away from the first line has brought some ideas floating around him; will we see the Headblades together as a one thing together again? I don’t really know, but I’ve heard they’re looking for an alcohol manager…… www.myspaceeditor.it
