Driving Mrs. Satan (ITA)

Claudia Sorvillo – vocal

The group Driving Mrs. Satan has succeeded in changing the rough metal sounds into sweet pop melodies. Maintaining the lyrical and melodic characteristics of heavy metal, the members created a unique sound that sometimes reminds of jazz or pop but remains sensitive and seductive.

Three years ago, the three Italian musicians wanted to rewrite some of the heavy metal classics by changing the sound. They chosen songs of groups such as Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Iron Maiden, and adapted them to suit a female vocal, bass and acoustic guitar trio. After their music was broadcasted on a radio show Sixx Sense, they immediately gained recognition and reached over 6,000 Facebook fans and 100,000 hits on YouTube. When their "heavy metal made easier" appeared on "Das Erste's TV Show", they started receiving invitations to perform all over Europe. Since they love it as much as their audience, they are till doing it today.
