Violet Blend

Violet Blend are an Italian alternative metal band, featuring extraordinary vocals, rich sonic power, and unbridled energy. Founded in 2014, Giada Celeste Chelli (vocals and piano) was joined by Michel Agostini (drums), and next, Ferruccio Baroni (bass), in Florence, Italy.

In terms of touring, Violet Blend has opened for renowned bands such as Radiohead, Garbage, Palaye Royale, Chris Slade (AC/DC), Vinnie Moore (Alice Cooper), Starcrawler, Eva Poles (Prozac+), and Rezophonic (Mario Riso, Cristina Scabbia). Moreover, the band has won several awards, including Band Revelation of 2019 from the F.I.P.I. – International Intellectual Property Federation, #togetherforthemusic 2020 of Elio e le Storie Tese, Trio Medusa, Cesvi and Radio Deejay, and the Et Music Prize at Sanremo Rock 2019.

In 2018 Violet Blend released the debut album 'White Mask', the city of Florence (IT) was invaded by thousands of masks with a purple V on that created sensation, attracting the attention of citizens and of many national media, from Repubblica to Radio Freccia.
The debut album White Mask exposed the fallacy of using social media to represent “the self,” and the sophomore record, Demons, continues the journey by moving the focus to the more personal, internal mechanism we use to make our own tragic masks.
Demons (April 2022, Eclipse Records) contains thirteen tracks, all cornerstones for the theme of ambitious yet contradictory facades, and each song is represented in the cover-art as masks of demons from every culture in the world, stemming from Greek mythology, Chinese tradition, and Dante's literature, to the Aztec Empire, Celtic mythography, and African rituals, etc.
The album contains the singles Rock DJ, Among All These Fools, Need and La Donna Mobile, the latter is accompanied by a prominent social campaign to raise awareness against discrimination and gender-based violence.

The single "Voices In My Head", released on November 2, 2022 via Eclipse Records, is an inner conversation that screams instead of whispering. The track is about insecurity, fear, and doubt of not being good enough. It contains a furious urgency, a violent need to free yourself from all those mental chains and thoughts that prevent you from living freely.

The new single “My Head is Broken” (April 28th, 2023) is a powerful new hard rock ballad featuring a guest vocal appearance from Virginia post-hardcore vocalist Tired Violence. The song embraces feeling numb and fear of being happy, while describing the confusion surrounding moments when you felt wrong, unfit, and so damaged beyond repair.
