Headless is an Italian hard rock band, founded in 1996 in Avezzano by Walter Cianciusi. Their music is characterized by the fusion of AOR and progressive metal. After having released an E.P. and a full-length album in 2000 the band suspended any recording or live activity. The turn of the events arrives in 2011 with a new line-up including Göran Edman (former Yngwie Malmsteen band) and Scott Rockenfield (Queensrÿche).[1][2] After releasing the Growing Apart album in 2013 Headless toured Europe extensively opening for big acts like Fates Warning,[3] Skid Row,[4] Queensrÿche [5] and Candlemass.[6] The successful tour ensured a contract with the Danish label Mighty Music.[7] A new album entitled Melt The Ice Away [8] arrived in 2016, followed by a European tour with Angra,[9] Bonfire (band) [10] and Tygers of Pan Tang.
