Nightblaze – Evaricade 2025

Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are proud to announce the release of “Evaricade”, the final chapter from the acclaimed Italian rock band, Nightblaze. This final release closes an era for Nightblaze. The band has disbanded, leaving a cherished mark on the underground Melodic Rock/AOR scene.

Their debut album captivated both critics, who lauded it in reviews and year-end rankings, and fans who showed unwavering support for the Roman combo. Produced, mixed and mastered by Dario Grillo, “Evaricade” is a heartfelt farewell, featuring four, brand-new, previously unreleased tracks written before their dissolution. These songs capture the band’s signature blend of soaring melodies, emotive lyrics, and polished production, showcasing their creative peak. Complimenting these new compositions is a collection of alternate versions of tracks from their self-titled debut album. The re-imagined tracks on “Evaricade” offer a fresh, alternative perspective, blending innovative arrangements with the timeless energy that defined the band’s sound. This release is both a tribute to their short-lived but remarkable journey, and a gift to their devoted fan-base.

“Evaricade” will be released on November 7th, 2025, via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. The CD booklet features introductory liner notes written by Franco Leonetti (Metallized.it).
