About Hot Sunday Blood
Hot Sunday Blood formed in Turin, Italy, in 2013. In its early stages the band’s sound drew on alternative rock with heavy rock influences, with each member bringing a different background, including metal, stoner, grunge, black metal, prog and new wave. The band describes itself as “plug and play,” reflecting an approach built around immediate, unrehearsed songwriting. Over time, the group’s sound shifted toward a more distinctive, electronics-inflected style, introducing industrial elements alongside Andrea Amerini’s vocals and Stefano Capista’s guitar riffs.
Hot Sunday Blood has released three full-length albums and played more than one hundred live shows. In July 2018, the band opened for Doyle (of the Misfits) on the Turin date of his European tour. In May 2019, the band toured Romania, Croatia and Slovenia. It performed abroad again in 2023 at the Ostrava V Plamenech Festival and as a support act on the Farthest Outpost European tour. In 2024, Hot Sunday Blood played three rounds of the Emergenza Live festival in Turin, reaching the final at Hiroshima Mon Amour. In 2025, the band performed at the Balkan Metal Meeting in Bologna and abroad at Fajtfest in the Czech Republic and Balkan Metal Meeting in Hungary. “Awakening” is the band’s latest single release.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
