RADIANCE formed in 2004 in Palermo, Italy, thanks to Federica Viola, guitarist of the band. The band started its live performances with an all-female line up, performing some’80s hard rock & heavy metal covers around their city. Along with the live activity the band began to compose its own music. During the following years they took part to many contests and festivals, spreading their name through the underground. Afterwards the band gave up the all-female line up, recruiting other talented musicians (such as Fabio Accardo ), and with newfound serenity started working on the creation of their distinctive sound, made up of obscure, screaming guitars with the evocative vocals of Karin Baldanza. The debut official EP titled “...And The Night Comes Down” was released at the end of 2008. It found unexpected success and critics confirmations, encouraging the band in their quest for refinement and progression.
