Under Attack: In a dystopian future the war for power has begun….

Virus Alert is a concept album set in a dystopian future, the themes are very current such as the danger derived from a society where finance dominates, a world where mass manipulation techniques increasingly prevail. In this struggle for power all the wickedness that can inhabit man is manifested. In this Orwellian and apocalyptic world, the war for oppression occurs above all on an economic and social level.

Those who dominate the market, the banks and the media are those who hold true world power, power which then translates first into a ferocious dictatorship and finally into a world war, a war of the future where conventional weapons are associated with use of nuclear and battery weapons. All this evil seems to have the upper hand but the picture described by the songs lets us glimpse the light of a divine and supernatural intervention that will stop the madness of evil and self-destruction forever.

To represent this concept also in the cover and in the graphics, Under Attack relied on a great artist, author of numerous covers of important bands such as Evergrey; Gianni Nakos.

The sound of the album refers to the classic metal of the 80s with a particular attention to the guitar solos.

Daniele Sciacca from Under Attack talk about the three tracks :

«Soldier presents the general theme that the following songs will develop. In a dystopian future the war for power has begun, a war fought mainly through the use of technology and science against man and with the world of the media oriented towards one-way propaganda. A war where economic interests are all in favor of the most powerful. The song is a cry of conscience, like the cry of a soldier preparing to attack the enemy».

«The Rules is the second song co-produced with my friend guitarist Fabio Rossi and which also hosts his solo together with that of Nando Bonini. In this piece Nando was really strong in the arrangements with the two starting guitars intertwining together over the keyboard carpet and the rhythm section. A very nice intro in my opinion and the song was actually chosen as the highlight of the EP released last year».

«Beyond The Sea – The song is inspired by the depths of the sea and is a metaphor for the problems and the darkness in which we sometimes walk in life. It is a song that invites you to never give up in the face of the hardest trials, to get out of your fears and depressions and find the key to take your life back and live it as protagonists. The song is heavy and the initial riff is also a tribute to the classic metal of the 80’s».
