White Skull - 'Metal Never Rusts' (official lyric video)

When life is shitty and no one can fix me
I push play, metal's on
I start to feel strong again

I start to feel lively and
I do all the things I can for life to come through

'Cause I am through, oh
With days I feel so blue

I got this feeling this music is healing
All my pain from the world
It's always been better than
It's always been stronger than
The stuff that someone would take just to feel good

But I am good, oh
Tonight it feels so good

In my way, on my terms
Through all my life
(Metal won't rust)
Strong and bold, sharp and loud
Over and over
(Metal won't rust)

My life's exciting, uncertain, dramatic
Metal runs through my veins
This is what I want to be
This is how I want to live
Against all my enemies, I don't break down

'Cause it's true, oh
Your life, you make your rules

In my way, on my terms
Through all my life
(Metal won't rust)
Strong and bold, sharp and loud
Over and over
(Metal won't rust)

'Cause it's true, oh
Your life, you make your rules

In my way, on my terms
Through all my life
(Metal won't rust)
Strong and bold, sharp and loud
Over and over
(Metal won't rust)

Your speech is foolish, you're condescending
Your problem's what?
Quite disappointing, misunderstanding?
Can't just be put down by some clumsy clown

It's bullshit, it's bullshit, it's bullshit
Metal never rusts

Το μέταλλο δεν σκουριάζει ποτέ μας λένε οι White Skull με το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα. "Metal Never Rusts" από την Ιταλική μπάντα και θα κυκλοφορήσει μέσα στον μήνα σε CD και ψηφιακή μορφή και στα μέσα Δεκεμβρίου σε βινύλιο.

Οι White Skull μας έρχονται από την γειτονική Ιταλία. Δημιουργήθηκαν το μακρινό 1988, μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

«Sharp voice, screaming guitars, hammering rhythms, a stunning mixture of power and melody: the result is a high incendiary gradation sound, coming from the heart of six musicians!»

...και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, δύο demos, ένα single και ένα ep...

Δελτίο τύπου: White Skull is a well-known Italian Power Metal Band that has been delivering superlative Metal songs since the 90s. Sharp voice, screaming guitars, hammering rhythms, a stunning mixture of power and melody: the result is an enthralling and gripping sound, coming from the true Metal hearts of energetic and inspired musicians.

Unable to play live during the pandemic, the band focused on a new project lead by Marco Donè (Italian Metal Journalist): the band´s memories and remarkable stories recorded and treasured in a book. While working on the book “The Soul of the Skull” Federica and Tony perceived the need of writing an album inspired by it.

Music and lyrics that would not only describe the events told in the book but transmit to the audience a wide range of emotions along with a clear statement of what Metal means to the band. As soon as the lockdown was lifted the band gathered back together in the rehearsal room to pin down the new ideas.

Right from the kick start it was clear that Vale, the new entry, was the perfect fit the Skulls needed to fire up the renewed Metal engine. Fast thundering rhythmic section powered by a new ignition spark and hyper charged by melodies and harmonies produced by bewitching vocals and magnetic keyboard arrangements.

All assembled to make the metal crowd roar! The new album is blessed by renewed and powerful energy that bounces from song to song with a level of intensity and magnitude superior to all previous albums because, when forged with passion, true Metal Never Rusts!
