Hell Boulevard is the name of the band. Matteo vDiva Fabbiani is one of the founding members
and mastermind behind it all.
Hell Boulevard’s music features a well balanced mix of classic gothic tunes, soaked in Rock'n'Roll, where signature orchestral accents meet biting guitar solos, soft piano hints melt into tight drums and a subtle wall of synths fades to embrace vDiva’s deep, smokey voice.
Born in 2014 from the ashes of Swiss rising stars “Lost Area”,
Hell Boulevard started as no more than a continuously evolving set of ideas and an unconcealed nostalgia for gothic-rock tunes:
Their first single “Hangover from Hell”, released digitally back in 2014, gave the world a first taste of the band’s formula with a rock party hymn drenched in gothic vibes.
After nearly two years of experimenting the band was finally ready to unveil their first full length album in October 2016, appropriately titled “Inferno”.
The self-produced debut album helped Hell Boulevard establish a first, solid connection to the German gothic scene, gained positive reviews from both critics and public and eventually landed them two tours with Darkhaus and Unzucht in the course of 24 months.
Together with the record release and the successful tours the band made sure to gain some new supporters in different branches and subgenres thanks to several interesting collaborations with well-established acts such as Lord Of The Lost, Freakangel, Erdling, Eisfabrik etc.
Fast forward to the second release, we found Hell Boulevard back and ready to slay with their new album “In Black We Trust”,
released on 24th of August 2018, where their unmistakable blend of Goth n’ Roll reached a whole new dimension thanks to, inter alia, a substantial improvement in terms of sound
and a first class production supervised by golden boy Chris “The Lord” Harms (Lord of The Lost).
More than just another title, an honest attempt to infuse new lifeblood to a genre presently dormant.
The release of the new album is just one of the many steps on the path to stardom,
but there are still several other news and aces up their sleeve.
The album „Not Sorry“ was released on 18th of September 2020
and convinced the fans as the predecessors did.
It was recently followed up by Hell Boulevard's newest work "REQUIEM" released on 1st of March 2024.
Their next own headliner tour, including also some support dates for "Lord Of The Lost" through Europe is gonna embark in April 2024.
