# 81db

**81db** is a progressive metal band, from Italy, active 2006 to present.

81db is an alternative metal band based in Italy, formed in April 2006 by Greek guitarist Kostas Ladopoulos. As he stated in the band's first interviews, the musical idea was to try to combine a new alternative rock/metal sound by mixing melodies and heavy guitar riffs with folk elements derived from Kostas’ Greek origins. The current members of the band are Kostas Ladopoulos, Filippo Capursi (Drums), Luca Giannoni (Vocals) and Vieri Pestelli (Bass). The band had their debut album Evaluation out on 2009 through Orion's Belt Records and published by EMI in Italy and distributed by Minos EMI in Greece. They released two more albums in 2011 and 2013, respectively, and a "Best of" in 2017. After the exit from the band of original singer William Costello, 81db released an Instrumental EP in 2021. In 2022, the band welcomed new singer Luca Giannoni and released a new single in 2023.
