Sleeping Romance (2015)Last weekend was the ninth edition of the annual Brainstorm Festival. The Italian female fronted metal band Sleeping Romance played an acoustic set in the theater of the Gigant. Watch the videos below:

Frontwoman Federica Lanna says: “So guys this is a little memory of our acoustic gig at Brainstorm! It’s the cover of the heartbreaking ‘You learn about it’, a song of the dutch band The Gathering. Hope you’ll like it! I want to thank the audience, because you gave us the energy we needed after the long trip. Metal kisses to all of you! Il metallo \m/”

Initially Sea + Air would perform but due to illness they had to cancel their performance. Even though it was very last minute, Federico Truzzi (guitar) & Federica Lanna (vocals) of Sleeping Romance were willing to replace them. Respect for them. Continue reading »
