Artist's Biography

Stealth is an Italian metal band from Corridonia, Marche, Italy. Founded in 1997 they released several albums and EPs and performed all over Italy and in many other European countries.

EARLY YEARS AND FIRST ALBUM RELEASE
The band was formed in 1997 by Daniele Gorbini (bass guitar) and Ivan Lattanzi (vocals/rhythm guitar) playing some Metallica cover songs. They performed their first gig on August 3rd 1997 under the name of Metal Militia together with other 2 local musicians. After that first gig Daniele and Ivan chose Lorenzo Pimpini (lead guitar) and Roberto Rastelli (drums) to complete the band line-up. On December 1998 Metal Militia released their first self produced EP ʻMind Is Blind’ with 6 original songs and also started playing outside of their region and got their first localradio appearances and magazine reviews.

On March 2000 the band released its second self produced EP ʻExistence’ made of 5 original tracks. At the same time the band changed its name into Stealth. At the end of the same year summer, after various gigs to publicize the new EP, drummer Roberto Rastelli sadly decided to leave the band. In November Federico Governatori replaced Rastelli at the drums. The band started writing new material and on February 2001 entered the ʻPotemkin Studio’ of Andrea Mei to record their first full length album.

On March 14th 2001 was released ʻStealth’, a self produced album of 11 original songs and presented to the public during a gig in a well known localrock/metal club. Soon after they started an Italian tour of 30 gigs that lasted one year and half.

On August 2001 the song ʻTake the Message’ was chosen to be part of ʻCosarock 2001’, a compilation of local bands released after the ending of the homonym festival, during which Stealth also played. On January 2002 Pimpini left the band to focus on his solo projects. Nazario Campofiloni, emerging musician of the area, becomes the first guitarist. During summer 2002 the audio/video compilation ʻKosarock 2002’ was released with 3 Stealth’s songs performed live and recorded during the second edition of that festival.

CHECK AND COVER THIS OUT! AND EARLY GIGS IN EUROPE
The band resumed live performing after a forced break due to the guitarist change and worked on the 9 songs that would then be recorded from spring 2003 at the ZdB studios ,an independent label from Latina. After drums recording sessions ended Governatori decided to drop the band and Mirko Antolini replaced him. With Antolini Stealth started promoting the new album ʻCheck this out!’ that was released in co-production with the Italian label ZdB on December 17th 2004.

ʻCheck This Out!’ is Stealth’s second album, product of one year of work in search of both technical and artistic improvement. The result was an album with a captivating sound where the band pushed on toward a wide internationalism. Tracks are sung in Spanish, German, English, expressing the need of a new communication which aimed to win listeners beyond borders’ (ZdB press release) The album received good national and internationalreviews and allowed the band to play their first gig abroad, more precisely in Dubrovnik, Croatia at Klub Orlando on May 13th 2006.

Just after that, Campofiloni told the band that his journey with Stealth was over. After some auditions, Marco Scocco became the new temporary guitarist and he allowed the band to finish the ʻCheck This Tour’ including 2 amazing gigs in Latvia on March 23rd and 24th 2007 at Fontaine Palace Club in Liepaja and Klub Depo in Riga.

Also in 2007 the song ʻCrack ʻn Roll’ from the latest album was featured on an Italian heavy metal compilation called ʻSG Revolution II’ and released by SG Records. The perfect way to celebrate the first decade of music of the band.

On July Stealth went back at ZdB studios in Latina to record ʻCover This Out!’, a project album featuring cover songs the band was playing during their early years and some 80s and 90s remakes. The album was released on 18th July 2008 with a launch gig in Italy. The song Freestyler (cover of Bomfunk MC’s) was included on the compilation ʻCover For Madness’ released the same year by SG Records.

Some months later Marco Scocco left the band and in the early months of 2009 Stealth announced on its official website the reunion with Lorenzo Pimpini. After 7 years Lorenzo decided it was time to come back and the other members welcomed him back with open arms.
