KARPENTER -- Italian melodeath

Fan of European melodeath,

Below are two songs "Mechanical Sense" and "Shark" from Italian melodeath band KARPENTER. Their debut album Sleepless will be out on Friday. As you will see, the official information below calls them "alternative-metal," but it's just better to hear the music and hear for yourself. Here in the U.S. "alternative metal" means something specific, from a certain era, in a certain style, and this band does not sound "American" per se. Perhaps the term means something else in Europe?! Anyway, the vocals are semi-growled, kind of, and the guitar work is catchy, if you like melodeath in general.

ABOUT: "Rockshots Records is proud to announce they will be releasing KARPENTER's first full-length 'Sleepless' on May 28th, 2021. Named in tribute to horror movie master John Carpenter, the alternative-metal band was formed in 2019 by former Fightcast members Filippo Tellerini, Francesco Vicini, and Marco Biondi, along with Federico Conti (Creep), Manuel Nucci and Michele Mingozzi (Figure of Six). By connecting old-school influences with modern-sounding songs, the band aims at keeping the core of the style that characterized the past while projecting itself toward new and original experimentations of sounds and metal sub-genres. Sleepless will be KARPENTER‘s debut full length to follow their 2019 singles 'Dark Mountain Side' and 'The Hardest Party'. The album was recorded and mixed by Gabriele Ravaglia (Extrema) and Gianmarco Bambini at Fear Studio in Italy, and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse)."
