Elara

Elara is a solo project born in 2007, after the break-up of the Italian metal hardcore band Mildewed in which Luigi had been the guitar player for 5 years. The break-up was probably the consequence of an ongoing change in his style and music concept and moreover, soon after that, it came a moment of breathing space, the quest of peace and serenity. The first EP, entitled “Starry night in a cold November” and released in February 2008, had a great success, especially within the cinematographic circuit. At the beginning of 2011 the solo project became a band. Alessio (bass – ex Ze Monsta, When Robins Come Back, Île) and Vincenzo (drums – ex When Robins Come Back, Île) joined the project and together they started a new journey where the old songs were played with a new sound mixing ambient, post-rock and classical music. In September 2012 the band signed for Fluttery Records and recorded a brand new 3 songs EP at the Domination Recording Studio based in the Republic of San Marino. Afterwards Greg Calbi, Senior Mastering Engineer at the Sterling Sound of New York, completed the mastering of the EP. “Soundtrack for a quiet place” EP was born in February 2013. During the 2014, the band started writing a concept album on the creation of the universe. The writing process took almost an year and during the summer 2015 the band recorded 3 new tracks at the Propulsion Agency based in Cecina (Italy) and mastered by Birgir Jón Birgisson at Sundlaugin Studio in Mosfellsbær, Iceland. In November 2015, Elara is set to release “In the depths of Time, in an ocean made of stars”.
