Tell us about the history of the band. More specifically, when was the band formed, how did you meet, and have there been any particular highlights or low points in your career, any crucial events that have taken you where you are today?
The band was formed in 2001 by drummer Ross Lukather in order to create fast and melodic songs. After the release of the debut album "Last Sunrise" as a result of musical divergences Ross decided to change bass and guitar players. After few weeks he found the right people to complete the definitive Shining Fury new Line-up : Francesco Tonazzini (Guitar), Andrea Bartoletti (Bass) and Federico Accardo (Guitar). Last summer Shining Fury entered the FP Recording Studios to record their second strike! New Album "Another Life" will be released on 16th of January by Metalblade Records.
