Basement's Glare

The project began, at the behest of Riccardo and Daniele, shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic exploded. Following the restrictions caused by the lockdown, Basement's Glare have recorded and released their first single, Red Zone, which directly addresses the theme of social distancing and its consequences. In full pandemic and working mostly remotely, the group completed and released their first EP, immediately getting back to work on new projects.

Basement's Glare are Riccardo Adamo (vocals) and Daniele Marinelli (guitars), Filippo Zucconi (bass guitar) and Niccolò Franchi (drums).

The year 2021 started with the publication of the official soundtrack of the film Flesh Contagium, then the release of Acoustic Session, a version revisited in an acoustic key and with a string quintet of the previously released songs.

Circus of the Fallen, with a more mature and aggressive sound, opens a new exciting chapter for the band.

Riccardo Adamo

He studied singing at the Conservatory of Music "Francesco Morlacchi" in Perugia (Italy), where he also attended the composition course for two years. The study of singing was always accompanied by a deepening in contemporary music (both singing and composing), ranging from pop to metal and facing different styles and techniques. Always keeping "one foot on the stage", he began to collaborate with artistic representation agencies as a manager for opera singers and an opera production consultant. Eventually the call of singing grew stronger and he decided to go back to being a full-time artist.
