The First Years
Degrees Of Truth is an italian female-fronted progressive symphonic metal band which fuse together dreamy and cinematic soundscapes with electronic music and, of course, metal music.
It's March, 2014. Piano notes floating in the warm studio, moved by a gentle feeling of being in an impalpable dream. Then, the spark: the magic of the first song, the will to forge emotions in music.
That's the way Gianluca Parnisari, band founder, realized that he couldn't stand anymore with all of this inside: Degrees Of Truth was born.
And like the Universe, described in the songs of first album 'The Reins Of Life', the feelings quickly turned into facts, with the help of other two talentuous musicians: Claudia Nora Pezzotta and Graziano Franchetti, respectively lead vocalist and guitarist.
Between 2014 and 2015 then began the hard work of songwriting where every detail was carefully brewed and refined to be mixed in the first songs. But a good team needs good players, and at that time Degrees Of Truth had two empty slots: before entering the studio Luca Ravezzani, drummer, and Matteo Clark, bassist, joined the band to complete the rhythmic section.
The Lifeless Era
Year 2017 marked the second step in Degrees Of Truth history, the second year and also the second publication. In fact the band signed a deal with Volcano Records for the release of the new EP titled 'Lifeless, Faultless', out next November 16th.
The title track is a deep insight on the faulty human nature: everyone makes mistakes and each wrong action worsens the fate on each of us; this track also features the first videoclip of the band.
This new package included the acoustic reverìe of the band old glory song "Finite Infinite", released a bonus track with a lyrics video.
During these first years Degrees Of Truth played alongside many national and international relevant metal acts such as Elvenking, Temperance, Overtures, Ephyra, Drakkar and many others. The EP also offered the band the occasion to welcome the new bassman Samuele Di Nardo into the Degrees Of Truth family.
Becoming Time Travelers
On August 9th 2018 the band posted the first teaser of the new record; a month later they revealed that Andrea Boccarusso would be the new guitarist of Degrees Of Truth. While the recording of the second full-lenght proceded, the band teased the audience with contests and peeks behind the curtain. It wasn't until the following year that details were fully unveiled: the title, cover and tracklist of 'Time Travel Artifact' were announced on April and the album release was scheduled for June of 2019.
The second record was anticipated by “Long Way, Silk Road” as first single, published on April 19th 2019.
A change of lineup was made public on January 2020: Daniele Brianza and Lorenzo Corsalini would take place as lead and rhytmic guitars, and two months later Claudia Beltrame would join the band replacing Claudia Nora Pezzotta on vocals.
While continuing to play live shows across Italy, the band was selected to participate in the 34th edition of Sanremo Rock. They entered the competition with “The World Beneath My Feet” in the Rock section, winning the regional finals and gaining the highest number of votes.
