AIRBORN – Live album & DVD out on their 25th anniversary

The power metal trailblazers from Turin, Italy, announce a new live album and dvd, titled “Live Animals”, on occasion of their 25th anniversary with a special dedication to the fans. The publication, planned in 2020 but then postponed due to the global pandemic, has been finally set this August. That’s the last show the band played in 2019 before Covid-19 spread out, and will be out short before their comeback on stage as a message of hope and perseverance.

Live Animals” will be published as a CD + DVD digisleeve and for digital download at arpmusic.bandcamp.com and on the main platforms. It will be available for preorder from July, 19 exclusively at Airborn’s web store airborn.bigcartel.com. The album features 3 bonus tracks recorded at Airborn’s Born To Fly Festival 2018, the last one for audio CD only. The physical format incudes a heartwarming introduction by Turin’s metal poet Walter Olivetti as well as a copy of the setlist handsigned by the band. «After every show the tracklists I usually print and share with the guys on stage go like hot cakes among the audience» says bassist Domenico Buratti «so we thought it might be cool to include one of them in each copy of the album. Thus, everybody’s happy.»

Frontman Alessio Perardi states: «We’re very proud of this live album and enthusiasm was there since the very early mixes. All you will hear comes from the soundboard. Of course we cleaned up unwanted noises in the mix and tried to make everything sound at best, but there are no studio overdubs. It’s an Airborn show, pure and simple. 100% fun!»
