INTRODUCING

Rockshots Records is thrilled to announce the birth of LAY OF THE AUTUMN, a new band emerging from the creative vision of the talented Davide Scuteri.

Born from the desire to continue the musical legacy of projects like RAVENWORD and CHOIR OF VERITAS, LAY OF THE AUTUMN promises to make its mark in the symphonic metal scene.

Spearheaded by Davide Scuteri and joined by Cesare Ferrari (Bass), Davide Lovecchio (Guitars), and Michele Olmi (Drums), LAY OF THE AUTUMN embodies the essence of classic symphonic metal with a female vocalist, continuing the rich tradition established by Ravenword, following the release of their album 'Transcendence'.

Just as a continuation of the Ravenword project, Lay Of The Autumn is a band born from the synergy between Davide Scuteri and Rockshots Records, who continue their collaboration together for an album set to see the light at the end of 2024.

Rockshots Records is thrilled to announce the name of the lead singer for Lay Of The Autumn: Iryna “ERIA” Boyarkina!

Iryna is a renowned artist from Ukraine, recognized as "ERIA" and has gained fame through her performances with the band Mysterya and her appearances in popular contests like Eurovision, X-Factor, and The Voice. Davide Scuteri, the mastermind behind Lay Of The Autumn, shared his excitement about Iryna joining the band:

Lay Of The Autumn is a Power Symphonic metal band conceived by the mind of Davide Scuteri (Ravenword, Choirs Of Veritas) and with the collaboration of Iryna Boyarkina (ERIA, Mysterya), Michele Olmi (Chronosfear, Embrace Of Souls), Cesare Ferrari (Ravenword, Choirs Of Veritas) and Davide Lovecchio (Ravenword).

“Lay of the Autumn” symbolizes the moment in the life of everyone of us, when the warm rays of a Summer sun abrouptly turn to grey, until the last leave has fallen, leaving the place to the Winter in our heart.

Our message is the acceptance of “sorrow” as an important part of our life, in the same way we accept “love”.
