The LoveCrave
Summary
The LoveCrave is an Italian gothic metal band from Milan. The LoveCrave (originally Love-C-Rave, with Roman numeral C) means "Hundredth Rave of Love". This name was taken from a story about a rave of vampires written by Francesca Chiara in 2003.
The band is formed of two experienced rock musicians from Milan and two old friends of Venetian origin that moved to Milan to make music.
Tank Palamara, guitarist and producer, has ten years of tours and rock productions experience.
Singer Francesca Chiara is in charge of the graphics and invented "Rain", her 3D alter-ego. Being a born writer, she wrote a fictional story ("The Angel and the Rain") that pieces all the songs together and is included in the band's debut album booklet.
Iakk has been playing drums with Tank and Francesca for about six years and usually takes care of the live sets and rehearsals.
Simon Dredo, Francesca's best friend from high school, was the last to join the band as bass player in March 2005 after a tour in England, just in time to record the bass parts for the songs.
Tank and Francesca, co-writers for many years, wrote about 15 songs in less than a month and that’s how a live metal band becomes a serious project aiming to the music industry.
What the LoveCrave were looking for during the recordings was "a rough, elegant and new sound". They took inspiration also from Iron Maiden and eighties sound to the Depeche Mode. They created in their mind a sort of Blade Runner world and tried to put music in it.
In March 2006 they signed with the German record label Repo Records that started making plans for the release of The Angel And The Rain. In May 2006 the band signed with WOD, one of the biggest gothic/metal booking agencies in Europe. In June 2006 the mastering of the album was done by Alex Klier at LXK Studios, Munich and in August the band left for a pre-release German tour with The Birthday Massacre, a Canadian band. He played since 2007 all 4 months in his hometown Milan in the Club Alcatraz.
The Angel And The Rain finally hit the stores on October 31, 2006.
