Hailing from Salerno, Italy, Holy Tide is a new international metal supergroup formed by the bass player Joe Caputo, Maestrick's vocalist Fabio Caldeira and the british drummer Michael Brush.
The band's debut album is going to be titled "Aquila", which means "Eagle" in italian, and it's an apocalyptic concept album. "Aquila" will bring 13 tracks: "The Age Of Darkness", "Chains Of Enoch", "Godincidence", "Curse And Ecstasy", "Exodus", "Eagle Eye", "The Crack Of Dawn", "Lord Of The Armies", "Sunk Into The Ground", "The Shepherd's Stone", "Lamentation", "Return From Babylon" and "The Name Of Blasphemy".
According to the bass player, main composer and mastermind of the band, Joe Caputo, the idea of creating Holy Tide came on the spring of 2017.
"Back then, I decided to quit the band I was working with, to achieve something more. I wanted to be able to express my creativity with no limits", says the musician that mentions, as Holy Tide's influences, names from Iron Maiden and Slayer to Bach and Wagner.
All guitars on "Aquila" were recorded at Rroarrr Sound Studio in Sassari, Italy, by Kris Laurent (ex-Cadaveria) who also signs the production of the album. Basses and vocals were recorded at Studio 35 Live in Salerno, Italy, while drums at CapsaArx Studios, in Birmingham, England.
"Holy Tide is a very ambitious project, that reflects the power of music", Caputo says. "This is the result of twenty years of studying, struggling, suffering, dreaming and so on. There is a very strong team, working hard "behind the scenes", that allowed me to gather an amazing line-up, divided between two continents, and everyone has been working really hard to give their best in this record, embracing my vision about the music in this concept album."
"Aquila" is expected to bring some very special guests. The band won't reveal the names right now, but at least two of the guests had already recorded their contributions to the album. "Trust me, they are real rock 'n' roll legends! That's all I can say right now", ends Caputo.
Holy Tide's "Aquila" is expected to reach the stores before the end of 2018. The first single will soon be announced and available on digital platforms.
