‘Empty World’ is the third single taken from the second Volturian album “Red Dragon”, set to be released on May 20th. via Scarlet Records.
The second Volturian effort is a truly inspired and stylish rendering of the modern metal blueprint. A blend of the gothic & melancholic feeling of the exceptional debut ‘Crimson’ with an even more refined pop vein and some extra subtle electronic layers.
Each “Red Dragon” song displays a very contemporary sound, intriguing arrangements and charming sonic dynamics – not to mention the always masterful Federico Mondelli trademark songwriting.
Graced by the heartful interpretation of frontwoman Federica Lanna, lyrically and aesthetically inspired by Thomas Harris’ ‘Red Dragon’ (the novel who gave birth to the Hannibal Lecter myth) and Alan Moore and Frank Miller’s graphic novels, the new Volturian record will wrap the listeners into a warm blanket to open their eyes in a thrilling scarlet light.

Volturian is a new Modern Metal project founded by singer Federica Lanna (Sleeping Romance) and songwriter Federico Mondelli (Frozen Crown). Drawing heavy inspiration from 90’s and early 2000 Metal as well as 80’s Pop music, the talented frontwoman and the prolific composer join forces, creating a unique brand of melody and heaviness mixed with strong electronic elements.
Lanna’s ethereal and mellow vocals flow graciously between catchy choruses and breathtaking verses, contrasting with Mondelli’s Swedish Death Metal inspired guitar riffs, this time putting more emphasis on groove. The sound that derives from it could be reminiscent of a mixture between Evanescence and ‘Reroute To Remain’-era In Flames.
Volturian‘s debut album “Crimson” has been released on April 24th. 2020 via Scarlet Records (EU/US) and Marquee Avalon (Japan).
