Reflections from the Band
Vocalist Davide Straccione and guitarist Gabriele Giacarri shared their thoughts on the tour and the live album:
“This tour was an incredible journey, the longest in our career, and a true milestone for Shores Of Null. As the promotional tour for The Loss Of Beauty, our latest and most acclaimed album, it was an honor to bring these songs to life across 35 shows in 18 countries. Sharing the stage with monumental bands like Swallow The Sun and Draconian—huge inspirations for our music—was unforgettable. Despite the melancholy of their sound, they’re some of the most fun and genuine people we’ve met, and by the end of this epic journey, we were proud to call them friends.” – Gabriele Giaccari
“Our 2023 European tour with Swallow The Sun, Draconian, and Avatarium was one of the most beautiful and intense experiences of my life. Night after night, we poured everything we had into our performances, connecting deeply with audiences across 18 countries. This live album is our way of preserving and sharing that beauty, not only as a gift to those who joined us in the crowd but also for those who couldn’t be there to witness it.” – Davide Straccione
