NEWS - Visit The “Desolate Lands” With EMBRACE OF SOULS' New Music Video From Concept Album "The Battle Of The Dead" Out May 2026
Forged in classic power-metal steel and sharpened with symphonic force, "Desolate Lands" delivers fast, militant rhythms, massive orchestral arrangements, and a relentless melodic drive rooted in the '80s and '90s tradition. Dark tonalities and epic tension shape the track, driven by Giacomo Rossi's commanding vocals and reinforced by Martina Mazzeo's operatic power - a song of devastation, sacrifice and defiance rising from the ashes of war.
Taken from the upcoming fantasy concept album "The Battle Of The Dead", the single introduces a world torn apart by a mysterious plague that corrupts the soul, pushing kingdoms toward an inevitable clash between the living and the dead. The album unfolds as a complete narrative experience, exploring themes of power, betrayal, sacrifice, and hope.
Founded by drummer and composer Michele Olmi, Embrace Of Souls began as a studio project aimed at bringing together talented musicians from the Italian metal scene, before evolving into a full band with a strong identity and a collaborative creative approach.
This new chapter is marked by a renewed line-up. Giacomo Rossi steps forward as lead vocalist, delivering a powerful and expressive performance, while Martina Mazzeo's soprano vocals add a theatrical dimension. Their interplay reinforces the balance between power metal intensity and symphonic elegance, a dualism of light and dark that runs throughout the album.
