Shadows & Dust

In the year 2001 Matteo Carnisio (drums) and Alessio Parini (guitar) were in a recording studio, where they were playing general music, when they decided to complete their group formation.
In July 2004, Marco Lupato (guitar) and Marco Ribeca (bass guitar) joined them, and they began to widen their repertoire. As much as they tried, a suitable lead singer was not found which then lead to the departure of Marco Lupato from the not yet fully formed band.
Marco Lupato’s position was eventually taken by the present guitarist Mirko Falasco and finally, in December 2004 the place for lead singer was fulfilled by Andrea Rocha.
The completion of the formation, hard work and most important of all, undying passion allowed them to widen their repertoire and enter the Italian music scene in 2005 under the name of “So What!?!”; this continued until 2006 when they decided to develop and introduce their own music, under their new name “SHADOWS & DUST”, which also is the title of their first single.
Satisfaction and success were harvested the following years, but 2008 was seen to be the most difficult period for the up and coming band, as this was due to the unforeseen abandon of Alessio Parini and Matteo Carnisio, who respectively decided to follow other paths.
Strong will, determination and love for heavy metal kept the remaining components of the band united, and the welcomed return of Marco Lupato together with the new entry of Luca Bizzantino (drums).
Just like the PHOENIX, defeated and reduced to ashes, SHADOWS & DUST was re-born stronger than before to spread their music around the globe……To Ashes We Will Burn, From Them We Will Return……Are You Ready To ROCK?!?
