HMB´S COLLABORATION REVIEW

Italian band MARBLE returns with their powerful new release “T.I.M.E.”, an album that dives deep into themes of self-discovery and theatrical mystique. From dramatic riffs to melodic interludes, Marble delivers an immersive experience for all metal lovers.

For the album's release day, the band is sharing their new music video “The Sleepless King”. Inspired by Lady Macbeth’s haunting story, this single combines Eleonora Travaglino’s powerful vocals with intense thrash-like verses and captivating solos!

After the excellent reception of the previous album 'S.A.V.E.', whose lyrics were centered on the deadly sins and theological virtues, the Italian melodic metal band MARBLE returns to the scene with a new, even more, compact and more ambitious album, the third seal of the band from Mortara (North Italy). ’T.I.M.E.’ revolves around female characters in the history of Western theatre, marking the time in the stylistic evolution of stage performances, starting with the ancient Greek tragedy of Euripides, passing through the British theatre of William Shakespeare, to the Russian social revolution of Anton Čechov, and on to the modern American theatre of Samuel Beckett.

The sextet, with an unchanged lineup and still led by the voice of Eleonora Travaglino, exploits the singer's years of experience as a theatre actress, bringing to the compositions a heartfelt and dense interpretation that also makes use of important guests such as Ivan Adami (Stranger Vision) on "The Jester Duplicity", Clode (Tethra) who offers his growl on "Heliosyncrasy" and "Theater Is My Essence", and finally an entire choir for "Smile In Decay".

The alternations between tight blast beats and melodic openings are the hallmark of Marble's sound, focusing on the album 'T.I.M.E.' on vocal arrangements and melodic interlocks between guitars and keyboards. The album was produced by the band itself and mixed by Marco Zanibelli (Myriads Lights) at SunDowner Studio and stunning cover artwork by Greek artist Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design (Kamelot, Evergrey, Amaranthe, Suffocation etc.).
