History
[edit]Formation and early years (2015–2018)
[edit]Belle Morte's history began as a studio project in 2015.[5][6][7]The band's name is derived from the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton, where Belle Morte is a secondary character, a member of The Vampire Council.[5][6]
Band's first single "Mercy" was released in 2017, followed by the first official EP Game on.[2][8][9]
Crime of Passion (2018–2021)
[edit]After EP release the band focused on their first full-length album. In 2020, they evolved into a full-fledged band, forming a permanent line-up.[10] Maria Shumanskaya, Ilya Rogovoy, Ilya Petrashkevich and Rostislav Golubnichiy joined the band.
In August 2020, unable to perform live due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions the band took part in the Bloody news online fest organized by Bloody News Metal Magazine and GlobMetal Promotions.[11][12][13]
In 2021 the band signed a contract with Italian label Wormholedeath[14][15] and released their first full-length conceptual album.[16][17] The album called Crime of Passion was inspired by John Fowles’s novel “The Collector".[6][18][19]
Global collaborations (2021– present)
[edit]During COVID-19 pandemic the band began recording their second studio album.[20] The pandemic and limitations connected with the global lockdown inspired Belle Morte to involve other musicians from different parts of the world remotely and incorporate a range of folk instruments.[21][22] During this period their music gains a strong folk component.[23]
The first single Fallen Idol released in 2022 features jouhikko parts recorded by Finnish musician Tero Kalliomäki .[24]
