Italian gothic/doom metal band Inno announce the addition of guitarist Riccardo Gioggi

Italian gothic/doom metal band Inno has announced the addition of guitarist Riccardo Gioggi.

The band comments: “We are happy, proud and excited to welcome to our family Riccardo Gioggi!

Riccardo is an amazing musician and is joining us to enrich and complete our journey together as a guitarist and a songwriter.

This statement is long overdue, as Riccardo has been working with us for a while now and helped shape Inno as it is today. His contribution to the project is above and beyond fundamental.

We can’t wait to hit the stage together and release some sweet new material we have in the making.”

Riccardo Gioggi says: “I’m very happy to be officially part of Inno, and to be immediately involved in the songwriting process for the next album. There’s great musicianship in here, and I look forward to hitting the stage and perform with my new bandmates.”

“Since the pandemic hit right after our first album »The Rain Under« came out, we now feel like we can finally make things right and start getting our music out there properly. See you all very soon!” Inno adds.

Inno is a gothic/doom metal band based in Italy and the UK, formed in 2017. It was founded by four Italian metal veterans: Cristiano Trionfera (ex-Fleshgod Apocalypse), Giuseppe Orlando (ex-Novembre, The Foreshadowing, Airlines Of Terror), Marco Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Coffin Birth) and Elisabetta Marchetti (ex-Stormlord, ex-Riti Occulti).

The aim of this project is to create something beautiful and new for its members, different from what they have been making for the past years. After spending a few months exploring their dormant influences, the four came to shape a dark, doomish, heavy and progressive sound coming from reminiscences such ad The Gathering, Katatonia, Amorphis, Porcupine Tree and even Muse and Tool (these last two more on a side).

The first album, entitled »The Last Sun«, was produced by the band and mixed by Marco Mastrobuono and Giuseppe Orlando in Rome. The mastering was handled by Danish acclaimed producer Jacob Hansen (Katatonia, Epica, Evergrey, Volbeat). The album contains nine original songs plus a cover of Pink Floyd’s song »High Hopes«. »The Rain Under« was released on February 28, 2020 via Time To Kill Records.
