Astralium (Italian Symphonic metal band), called Black Roses before changing the name, was born in 2014 thanks to the soprano Roberta Pappalardo and the bass man Giuseppe Pappalardo. After many changes, the first line-up establishes with Emanuele Alessandro on the guitar and Corrado Geniale (ex-Tamed Darts) on the drums. Between 2014 and 2016 Astralium, with this line-up, takes part to various Heavy Metal local festivals and all around Italy. The first was the Steel Legion Fest with Steel Raiser and several other bands. Astralium is successful and receives good live report/reviews from the Heavy Metal webzine, with the beautiful and eclectic voice of Roberta. In the summer 2017 Corrado Geniale leaves the band for personal reasons and the band welcomes Salvo Grasso (Hypersonic, Metatrone, ex-Denied) <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Astralium">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
