Driving Mrs.

Satan is a London/Naples-based acoustic trio who produce


covers of famous metal songs in an indie pop style.
Their debut album, comprised of old metal classics performed with clear
female vocals, soft guitars and double bass, will be released by RTF
records in August 2013.

Driving Mrs. Satan make room for quiet into the history of heavy
metal, borrowing lyrics and melodies from long haired 80s hard
rock, conditioner-only-washing them into the whispered politeness of
indie pop, and rinsing them with the passion of jazzy, sound
centered, avant-pop.

Claudia’s unique voice is at once erotic and ethereal,


transforming ferocious, macabre stories into joyful tales and cosy
serenades through Ernesto’s carefully interweaved guitars and trembling
vocals, and Giacomo’s beautifully crafted double bass structures.In the
midst of a house change in a record-hot summer, Giacomo’s love
for heavy metal re-emerged, and he began to re-envisage the songs that
made him decide to become a musician in the first place. He found a
perfect harmonic companion in Ernesto and they asked Claudia to lay
down vocals on a song she never heard before in its original form,
Helloween’s I want out: Driving Mrs. Satan was born.

The song was released online in April of 2012 together with other four:
ACDC’s Hells Bells, Black Sabbath’s Never Say Die and Judas Priest’s
Living After Midnight. After that, they prepared a full record and a live
show to bring their music into people’s life and out of the studio.

Despite the band’s folk and world provenance, Driving Mrs. Satan
have created one of 2012′s most interesting pop debuts. Indeed, their
music feels like anything but hit covers –they managed to create a new,
fresh and sophisticated dimension where the songs loose any weight and
can be re-explored in their simplest shape. The gentle sound demands
attention and anticipates possession.
