European alternative gothic metal duo Ardours have signed an album contract with Frontiers Music Srl, revealing this development on April 11th, 2019.
Frontwoman Mariangela Demurtas commented: “I sent our music to Frontiers and they have been very positive about it since the beginning, giving us feedback and collaborating with us in any kind of decision regarding this project. I loved the fact that they really liked our music, so we decided to sign with them.”
Ardours’ line-up is as follows;
Mariangela Demurtas (vocals, Tristania)
Kris Laurent (guitars, bass and synth)
Debut full-length studio album Last Place On Earth is slated for issue later in 2019. A release show, and Ardours’ first live show, takes place on September 7th, 2019 at La Cueva Rock in Quartucciu, Cagliari, Italy.
“When I joined Tristania the band already had a strong identity and so I had to fit with their style while also bringing something new and fresh to the sound,” Mariangela commented. “I think that worked out very well and I am very proud of the two albums we released together. Tristania is more of an introspective and articulated sound in comparison to Ardours. I feel very grateful and thankful to the band for what I have learned throughout these years, but on the other hand I needed to do something different, something where I could be the main singer and could sing the words with passion and with the warmth of my voice. Ardours has more rock and 80s influences in comparison to Tristania, including a bit of a new wave sound which is something that Kris and I love. When I chose to be part of this project, I knew I wanted to sound expressive without being technical so that I could give a more nostalgic sound to the words. This is the way I saw Ardours sounding and I can’t wait for people to hear it!”
