taly’s finest, NANOWAR OF STEEL – famous for their beloved metal parodies and cheeky hit songs such as “Valhallelujah” and “Uranus” – have turned to their fans and supporters on social media today in a new, heartfelt and honest statement about the band’s current situation. After gathering millions of clicks on YouTube and Spotify, as well as just recently re-releasing their popular 2018 album Stairway To Valhalla, the band will be undergoing a major stylistic shift and a new musical direction.
NANOWAR OF STEEL states:
“We're getting close to the 40 years old threshold and after so many years in the music industry we have to face the fact that - despite the growth we experienced in the last years and an important record deal with Napalm Records - metal and heavy music in general cannot give us the kind of financial sustainability our lives require at this stage.
If you follow us on social media, you should already be aware of the fact that we have announced a radical change of direction our music will take. We can now state that this change means our new style will be considerably lighter and oriented towards a broader audience.
We're sorry to put this in these terms - which might sound way too cold and materialistic - but we want to make things clear before our fans and all those who, in the last years, supported us for what we were, a parody METAL band.
(…)
With our new music, new projects and new energy we are aiming at climbing the charts, going to Sanremo, join the Eurovision and - first and foremost - conquer the hearts of those who do not know the band we’re mocking when we sing ‘By sunlight we ride, ten thousand side by side’.”
