FAKE IDOLS was formed from the union of three well-known and recognized European hard rock/metal bands: Raintime, Slowmotion Apocalypse and Jar of Bones.
FAKE IDOLS’ new album “Witness” came out on September 16th via Scarlet Records and has since been described as an adrenaline bomb charged up with great rock/metal tunes and plenty of attitude. The album features a very special guest appearance by Motörhead legend PHIL CAMPBELL (now leading his own band Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons).
Phil also starred in the video of “Mad Fall”, the first single taken from the album. Also charismatic singer Davide Damna Moras (Elvenking / Hell in the Club) stars in one song called “The City Is Burning”.
FAKE IDOLS’ self-titled debut album featuring Crucified Barbara's singer Mia Coldheart as special guest was released worldwide by Lifeforce Records and Bickee Music (Japan only) in 2014.
Both albums were recorded at Raptor Recordig Studios by Matteo “Ciube” Tabacco (Dufresne).
A bunch of songs from “Fake Idols” are included in the soundtrack of the movie “Milano In The Cage” by director Fabio Bastianello. The film premiered on September 2016 at the prestigious Venezia International Film Festival and its trailer was introduced to audience and reviewers for the first time at Cannes Film Festival.
FAKE IDOLS unites the different backgrounds of its members and their different musical influences and styles in order to infuse their invaluable musical experiences over the years into the new album.
