Italian female-fronted metallers SOULS OF DIOTIMA have the huge pleasure of announcing Luca Manca, as their new bass player:

“We are really happy and proud to welcome Luca to Souls of Diotima as the band’s new official bass player. Luca is not only a great musician but he has a humanity and a sensitivity that struck us from the first meeting, an aspect that is really important to us. We are sure that Luca’s sound and hands on the bass will give Souls that extra piece that we have been looking for for a long time. Welcome to the family!”

Luca Manca adds: “It’s an honor to be part of the Souls Of Diotima family. I’m ready to give my contribution and share my experience and attitude and have fun with the guys!”

Currently, SOULS OF DIOTIMA are busy working on their fifth new full-length album!

Just recently Fabio “The Black Mask” Puddu, the band’s guitarist revealed the first interesting details:

“We felt the need to give a new breath of fresh air to our genre, trying to make it more modern with dark sounds, full of power and lower tunings, without abandoning our stylistic imprint which is the one that allowed the band to earn an important place in the panorama of the world metal scene!! We are constantly working on the composition of new songs even before entering the studio to record the latest single ‘Another Day in Paradise’ by our producer Oscar Nilsson! We already have some tracks ready and we are really satisfied with the work done so far.. we can’t wait to finish the album to leave you speechless!!”

More information is to be revealed soon, stay tuned!

Earlier this year, SOULS OF DIOTIMA released their surprise single for Phil Collins’ ‘Another Day In Paradise’, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their artistic career!

These are the band’s words about the single: “This single is a kind of bonus and will not be contained in our next album, so it is a stand-alone release just to celebrate our 20th anniversary and surprise our fans in the meantime when we are working on our fifth album.”

The single of “Another Day in Paradise” released via Diotima Records Music Management Ltd and distributed by Blood Blast Distribution, was produced at Crehate Studios in Gothenburg by Oscar Nilsson with the help of Simon Eliasson.

The Souls of Diotima were formed by Giorgio Pinna and his brother in Sassari, Italy in 2004 and have released four studio albums and a single under three different labels worldwide.

More information:

Souls of Diotima is a band with a unique style, characterized by recognizable elements of traditional, progressive, and symphonic metal and unconventional elements, woven musically in a new and highly expressive way. The band’s music engages all the senses and conveys a feeling similar to watching an epic film, creating strong visual scenes and almost tangible mental images. The defining characteristic of Souls of Diotima is its style, which recalls Mediterranean atmospheres and traditions. In fact, the band hails from Sardinia, an island in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. This makes its sound and style unique and recognizable.

The band has participated in tours and festivals abroad, headlining and sharing the stage with bands such as Obituary, Hatebreed, Stratovarius, Vision Divine, Dgm, Folkstone, Saurom and others. Souls of Diotima has also worked with many of Europe’s top producers, including Jens Bögren and Oscar Nilsson, who is their current producer. In 2017, the Souls of Diotima founded a record label in London: “Diotima Records Music Management LTD,” and the following year the band with the new label created and participated as headliners in the first edition of the “Diotima Metal Fest” held in downtown Paris in order to raise funds for Parkinson’s research. Soon the band will announce new dates and a new tour, while waiting to re-enter the studio for the production of their fifth album.
