HUNGREY lands in Rome in 2023, initially as a side project, but soon establishing itself as a stable and independent entity, shaping its sound into a Metal style influenced by various sources, with a clear nod to the early U.S. metal scene and progressive tendencies (bands like Queensryche, Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, etc.).
However, the project arose from the need to consolidate an artistic identity beyond genre and method constraints, attempting to produce music as a proposal rather than a response to demand. Influences, sound, lyrics, appearance, and promotional methods are all expressly aimed at this goal. Consequently, HUNGREY’s programmatic manifesto states:
"We are recalibrating oscillations – strong force 1 – small blue planet detected at 7411 ly – electromagnetic 1/137 – we are arriving. Dismantling observational artifacts – synchronous oscillation – weak force 10 to the -6 – We do not travel, we vibrate. Imminent contact. We are close – gravity 10 to the -39 – it is urgent to share interaction with sound – we are with you, in your universe, a single note of the Symphony. The exchange of Talents is urgent – your remaining time of existence is limited – we witness – we tell: for a fleeting harmonic interval, on a small blue planet, a species capable of shaping sound has lived. Your only testament is made of Music. Music is immortality, Music is power. United by Talent, we are here to create sound where none existed before. Particles and waves, oscillations and vibrations, mass, energy, space and time, everything resonates, everything vibrates, everything oscillates, the entire multiverse is Music."
During the 2023-2024 period, HUNGREY is solidifying its lineup and focusing on composing enough material for an album. Throughout 2024, the band is concentrating on production (with vocal contributions from Ray Sperlonga) and recording (at NMG Studio in Palestrina, Rome) eight tracks. Among these, the first single, "Start To Forget," has been selected, and a video for it is scheduled for release in November 2024. Following this, HUNGREY plans to release at least two more singles (Moth and Falling) before the album release, with these tracks also promoted through videos. The three videos, created by Tommaso Benvenuti along with colleagues from the film academy, are linked by a single storyline (inspired by the songs' lyrics), divided into three acts, each set in different time periods. Thus, the videos form a trilogy, starting with "Start To Forget," followed by a prequel ("Moth") and a sequel ("Falling").
