Bloody Mary is a hard rock group from Milan, Italy.

Blood 'n' Roll - 2005

The Bloody Mary project originated after the meeting between guitarist Stranger and bass player Larouge in Spring 2000.

Within its first month, Bloody Mary defined their sound and got settled with the addition of guitarist Lamountain, drummer Juerghen and singer Aldebran, a solid line-up that still stands today.

The band then laid out ten tracks before the summer and the development of their own sound allows them to break free from various influences (H.I.M., The Cult, Fields Of The Nephilim) and find their own personal style.

Aldebran's voice - warm, sensual, deep, wrapped up in mystery- dances upon a riffing which blends 80's wave and American hard rock, before getting beyond the bounds of heavy metal.

When the "Red" promo CD saw the light in 2003, Bloody Mary's mark was already well-know within Milan's underground scene and the four tracks allowed the combo to get noticed abroad, gaining good reviews on Zillo magazine, Psycho and Ritual, among others.

The band hell-bent on being a strong live act, which has seen them perform all over the most popular nightclubs in Milan and its surrounding areas, plus a show in London at the end of 2004 for new UK-based SixSixSix Records.

The band then returned to Milan to complete the recording of their debut album Blood 'n Roll which was released in May 2005. When the album came out the press was enthusiastic, awarding a 7.5 on Terrorizer and KKKK on Kerrang, just to name a few.

In the autumn of 2005 Bloody Mary played at the Meanfiddler in London, which preceded their first tour across England. They played in Ipswich, Cambridge, Coventry, Brighton, High Wycombe, Norwich and finally at Camden Underworld in London, when the concert was filmed by Redemption TV.

Following the successful Bar Monsta show in Camden, London on 27th August 2006, Bloody Mary now plan to return to Italy for more shows in early November. A show at the Zoe Club in Milan, was played on Friday, 08 September 2006.

Bloody Mary's debut album "Blood 'n Roll" was released in France on 16th October 2006, via Active Entertainment. A possible Halloween show in Paris is now being discussed.

Vocalist Aldebran recently did a voice-over on the TV ad for "Moschino Friends Man" perfume. He is currently recording vocals for the demos of the new album "Party Music for Graveyards" which will include the cover Pet Sematary by the Ramones. The band are also working on the cover version of Spirit in the Sky with The Doctor (vocalist for Doctor and the Medics, famous for their 80's cover of the same song, selling over 2 million copies).
