Italian industrial metal unit Rublood have officially entered Phoenix Music Studio to begin recording their next full‑length album, currently operating under the working title Stronger Than Blood. The sessions mark the start of a new creative cycle for the band — one they describe as heavier, darker, and more emotionally volatile than anything in their catalogue so far.
For this new chapter, Rublood have teamed up with producer Giovanni Cannarozzo, chosen for his modern, cinematic production approach. According to the band, Cannarozzo’s vision aligns perfectly with their desire to push their sound into a space where industrial aggression, electronic tension, and atmospheric weight collide.
The band reveal that the upcoming material represents a significant shift — not just sonically, but personally. They describe the new songs as more visceral, more wounded, and more confrontational, shaped by the experiences and fractures of recent years.
In an official statement, Rublood elaborate: “We never wanted to repeat ourselves or remain trapped inside the skin of our past. Stronger Than Blood is not just another album for Rublood. It is the sound of transformation, collapse and rebirth forged through everything we have lived in recent years. Working with Giovanni Cannarozzo felt natural from the very beginning because he understood exactly what this record needed: weight, tension, atmosphere and scars. We are pushing our sound into darker territories, somewhere between industrial violence and cinematic despair. This album is born from loyalty, loss, rage and survival. Some bonds are written in blood. Others are written in the wounds left behind.”
Fans of Rammstein, Deathstars, Marilyn Manson, Motionless In White, and Electric Callboy will find plenty to anticipate as Rublood reshape their identity with renewed force.
