BiografieThe band was formed in 2001 by drummer Ross Lukather in order to create fast and melodic songs.
After playing for many years with well-known bands such as Death SS ("Heavy Demons", "Do What Thou Wilt"), Labyrinth (tour in support of "Return To Heaven Denied") and Athena ("Twilight Of Days"), he found the right people to assemble the definitive Shining Fury line-up:



Tommy Pellegrini on guitar, Alessandro Cola on bass, Francesco Neretti - the talented singer of Profondo Porpora (Deep Purple cover band) and Athena ("Twilight of Days") and Francesco Chelini (nicknamed Toniello) on second guitar.



Shining Fury were joined in the studio by Oleg Smirnoff on keyboards (Eldritch, Death SS, Vision Divine), a great musician and friend of the band, as well as many other special guests such as Morby on vocals (Time Machine, Labyrinth, Domine), Terence Holler and Martin Khyn (vocals and bass in Eldritch), and, last but not least, Robert Lukather on soprano sax.



The debut album "Last Sunrise" was recorded at FP recording studio in Lucca, Italy under the supervision of Federico Pedichini (a.k.a. Freddy Delirio), who guided the band with his professionalism and know-how, using state of the art technology. The band spent months adding arrangements and special touches to the songs, which resulted in a rich, complex album, which will carry the torch for European power metal from now on.



After the release of "Last Sunrise", as a result of musical divergences, Ross split-up from Alessando Cola and Tommy Pellegrini who decided that they didn´t want to continue in this project because they didn´t feel this kind of genre any more.

Ross immediately looked for new musicians to start writing new material for the next album.

The first member that joined the band was Francesco Tonazzini (Guitar), who brings a lot of new ideas to the sound of the band with his songwriting.
Ross and Francesco were soon joined by Andrea Bartoletti (Bass), a good judge of this music who he had already played with Ross in other bands.

The other axe was chosen in the person of Federico Accardo, a higly skilled and talented musicians.
The band completed the songwriting of the new album called "Another life" and hit the FP Recording studio under the supervision of Federico Pedichini to record their second strike - the Album was mixed by Achim Kohler, responsible for the works of bands like Primal Fear and Brainstorm.



With this brand new line-up even more power and heaviness was added to the original sound of "Shining Fury".
Now the band is ready to promote new album and preparing more live action!
