Bella Morte is a gothic rock band that was formed in 1996 in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States. They incorporate elements of metal, dark wave, deathrock, alternative, and synthpop. [1] The band's name means "Beautiful Death" in Italian language. According to Andy Deane, the name was chosen to suggest that "beauty can be found in tragedy", which is a theme occurring in every Bella Morte's album. [2]
In 2002, they signed with Metropolis Records. [3] Bella Morte previously released albums through their own label, Some Wear Leather, [1] and through Cleopatra Records. In early fall 2006, Metropolis Records announced that Bella Morte had reached number one on the company's pre-order sales list with their new album, Bleed the Grey Sky Black, [4] which was released on October 10, 2006.
The bass guitarist and co-founder Gopal Metro decided to leave the band, playing his last show on March 10, 2007, in Charlottesville. At the same show, the vocalist Andy Deane announced that Tony Pugh would replace Metro. At the beginning of summer 2008, it was announced that Jordan Marchini would not be touring with the band any longer. Nevertheless, he returned in 2011. [5]
Andy Deane released a solo album as "The Rain Within", a reference to the Bella Morte's song "The Rain Within Her Hands", in 2010 titled Pain Management.
