Nightblaze

Nightblaze is an Italian melodic rock band that formed in 2021, founded by composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dario Grillo (known for his work with Platens and Violet Sun). The band channels deep 80's melodic rock and AOR influences while crafting a contemporary sound. The lineup features Damiano Libianchi on lead vocals, Dario Grillo on guitars and keyboards, Alex Grillo (Dario's brother) on drums, and Federica Raschellà on bass. Grillo also handles production duties, mixing and mastering the band's material.

The band released their self-titled debut album "Nightblaze" in March 2024, showcasing a collection of melodic rock songs with infectious hooks and bombastic 80's production aesthetics. The album featured standout tracks like the single "Tell Me" and the soulful ballad "Daughter." Following their debut, Nightblaze has continued to release new material, including the albums "State Of Grace," "Novemberine Walls," and "Evaricade" (released in November 2025), establishing themselves as a rising force in the Italian rock scene.
