DANIELE MAZZA album & video released today!
Debut album „Immortals“ by DANIELE MAZZA (Ancient Bards) out today!
A message from Daniele:
“IMMORTALS marks the beginning of a new project, which, like all projects, started as my own journey, but got enriched along the way by the collaboration of teammates whose commitment gave me a huge hand. This is why first of all I want to thank the people who participated by my side in the realization of this first chapter: Sara Squadrani, Claudio Pietronik, Chiara di Mare, Matteo Ermeti, Vincent Lefevre, Davide Grussu, Simone Mularoni and the whole team at Limb Music.
Starting today, IMMORTALS is available on CD (incl. CD bonus track) and on all digital streaming/download platforms.
To celebrate this day, I’m glad to leave you with the videoclip of TIME TO GO feat. Sara Squadrani (Ancient Bards), directed by Matteo Ermeti.”

DANIELE MAZZA – Immortals
Born in Cesena in 1987, Daniele Mazza is the founder, main songwriter and lyricist of the Symphonic Power Metal act Ancient Bards. With „Immortals“, he’ll appeal to a broad spectrum of classically oriented music fans – aficionados of film score giants such as Hans Zimmer („Pearl Harbor“, „Rain Man“) as well as friends of New York’s bombast rockers Trans-Siberian Orchestra („Beethoven’s Last Night“) or Sweden’s Stratocaster Paganini, Yngwie Malmsteen („Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E-flat Minor“).
The facets of the eleven equally soulful and powerfully staged tracks reflect Daniele’s original passion for highly emotional film music – very much in the spirit of his admired legends Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix aka Two Steps From Hell and their work for numerous cinema blockbusters.
The solo voice of „Immortals“ (on the balladesque track „Time To Go“) was contributed by soprano Sara Squadrani (Ancient Bards). Aresea vocalist Chiara Di Mare can be heard providing background vocals to accompany the choir sequences. The lead guitars magically hovering above the deep sound carpet are provided by Ancient Bards guitarist Claudio Pitronik
