The Profile

Adramelch are an Italian heavy/epic/progressive metal band from Milan, formed in 1986. Their debut Irae Melanox appeared on vinyl in 1988 and later gained cult status abroad before being reissued on CD. After years of silence, they returned in 2005 with Broken History, maintaining their distinctive, epic and progressive-tinged sound.

Formed in Milan in 1986; debut album Irae Melanox released on vinyl in 1988 and later reissued on CD; returned with Broken History in 2005; noted for Vittorio Ballerio’s vocals and Gianluca Corona’s guitar/composition; additional works include Lights From Oblivion and Opus.

Two glowing reviews celebrate Adramelch’s cult status in Italian metal. Irae Melanox (1988) is praised as a top Italian heavy metal album and a timeless reissue favorite. Broken History (2005) marks a strong return, keeping the band’s epic, doom-tinged progressive identity intact. Vocals by Vittorio Ballerio and songwriting by Gianluca Corona are highlighted throughout.

Notable Quotes

❝ The album in question that I am about to review is, in my opinion, one of the best Heavy Metal records ever released in Italy.

❝ No, absolutely not; in fact, the music remains consistent (as a philosophy) with what it was 19 years ago, naturally with more modern sounds, but without altering its purest essence.
