With "Sangueacqua", Metatrone deliver a defining chapter of their career - a record that consolidates nearly three decades of artistic identity into their most cohesive and resolute statement to date.
Fusing European power metal precision with progressive sophistication and thrash-infused drive, the band sharpens its sound without abandoning its melodic core. The result is an album that feels urgent, mature and unmistakably authentic.
Centered on the concept of identity - artistic integrity, spiritual consciousness and moral resistance - "Sangueacqua" unfolds with clarity and purpose. “Fuori Dal Tempio” and “Stato Infame” channel rhythmic tension and assertive riff architecture while “Emmaus” and “Anima Christi” reinforce the band’s distinctive Christian perspective with compositional depth and emotional weight.
The return of vocalist Jo Lombardo restores one of Metatrone’s strongest trademarks bringing renewed power and tonal authority. David Brown’s layered keyboards and vocal interplay add dimension, Ghigas’ guitar work balances precision and impact and Simone Alberti’s drumming injects progressive control and dynamic force. The album moves with confidence - tight, melodic and uncompromising.
The inclusion of “I Want Out” (written by Kai Hansen and originally performed by Helloween) stands as both homage and statement, reaffirming the band’s deep roots in the European power metal tradition.
Produced by the band, recorded and mixed by Luigi Scuderi (DigiVintage Studios, Italy) and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Hansen Studios, Denmark), "Sangueacqua" combines organic energy with international sonic standards.
Formed in 1997, Metatrone have established themselves as one of Southern Europe’s most consistent Christian metal acts. "Sangueacqua" is not merely a return - it is a reaffirmation of legacy, conviction and enduring creative force.
