Valletta’s fusion of blackened arena rock and melancholic grunge n' roll creates a sound that defies easy classification. Their upcoming debut album Summer promises to dismantle metal conventions with its raw, electrifying energy, pushing the genre into new, uncharted territories.
Comprised of seasoned musicians, Valletta’s lineup includes drummer Justin Valletta and bassist/backing vocalist Donald Boyd (both from Mo'ynoq), guitarist/lead vocalist Keenan Carroll (Lord Almighty, ex-Barishi), and guitarist/backing vocalist Will Goodyear (Hopesfall, Prayer for Cleansing, ex-Between The Buried and Me). With their diverse musical backgrounds, each member brings something unique to the table, culminating in a sound that’s fresh, innovative, and unrelentingly powerful.
The band’s debut full-length Summer promises to take their musicianship to the next level. Featuring 12 tracks, the album is built on the foundation of heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and a dynamic exploration of contrasts—elements that make Valletta’s sound so distinctive.
In discussing the creative process behind Summer, the band offered insight into the album’s thematic exploration of contrasts:
“The new album has been a real exploration in tearing down walls that we had previously built up over the years. Each of us comes from different musical backgrounds, and there’s been a strong sense of letting go and allowing the music to unfold, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be. That’s been the beauty of this journey we’ve started together, and it’s been a great ride so far!
During the writing process, a constant theme that emerged was the idea of duality. From heavier, grimier riffs to beautiful, stoic melodies. From slower, muddy depths to faster, anthemic leads. From frozen wastelands to summer nights, we’ve been on a journey to explore our limitations musically and emotionally. Spin that shit up!”
Summer will be available on October 4 via Forcefield Records in CD, vinyl, and digital formats, delivering a sonic experience that’s sure to leave a lasting impact.
