LYRICS:
Children of the land, do you hear
Echoes of truths that once rang clear?
Two souls intertwined
One true love they did find
Bringing land and heavens near
But flames that burned full bright, soon fell dark
Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts
In the waxing gloom, did wane the lovers' moon
Watching as their worlds drift apart
One soul's cry, a passion dwelling within
Sacrifice, a final plea to her kin
Yet this bond of hope, by treachery was broke
Scattering her words to the wind
Swelling over long
Seas of blood are a song
And death an afterthought
To those who fight for naught
A throne lying empty
A reign incomplete
Alone for eternity
A pain without cease
Children of the land, answer this;
Why must you turn to empty bliss?
Tell me why break trust, why turn the past to dust
Seeking solace in the abyss?
Tell me why create a circle none can break?
Why must you let go, the life you were bestowed?
This I fear I'll never know
Never know

Coming soon

Here we are with one last cover, just before starting a new journey with you, made with our very personal reinterpretations of Nobuo Uematsu's work.
"Hollow" is a deep and beautiful song which marks the very end of Final Fantasy VII Remake; each one of us fell in love with it so much that we decided to let it out as a single to bring it on stage.
Dear 2023, with this we salute you: this year has been full and busy but the next one will be a blast.
Thank you everyone for your love and support, we will surely meet in 2024 playing the new album!

Chocobo Band: a progressive/symphonic metal Final-Fantasy inspired project. A true must for every Final Fantasy addicted out there!

Original music composed by Nobuo Uematsu
Arranged, played and produced by Chocobo Band
Mixed and mastered by Mike Pelillo

Dancing Mad, one of the most complex boss fight themes ever composed in the Video Games history: split into 4 different movements, ranging from classical to metal, including a fugue for organ inspired from Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, is an epic journey across the history and the psyche of a villain as crazy as intriguing as it gets.
A lucid delirium of nichilism and onnipotence culminating when the awareness of a cruel truth barges in: the search for complete destruction includes also self-annihilation.
So in the epic ending, sadness takes over rage, finally leaving place to the thin hope of who opposed themselves to all this madness.

CHOCOBO BAND - Somnus / Apocalypsis Noctis (Final Fantasy XV) [Official Music Video]

Chocobo Band 2019-11-29 | Somnus and Apocalypsis Noctis.
The calm and the storm.

Two conflicting souls, seemingly opposite, yet perfectly embodying the many facets of the wonderful and suggestive soundtrack of Final Fantasy XV.
This song is our way of blending them together as one, as two sides of the same coin, as the tragic main characters Noctis and Lunafreya.

But that is not all: this is also our heartfelt tribute to the legendary composer Yoko Shimomura, writer of soundtracks such as Kingdom Hearts, Parasite Eve or Xenoblade Chronicles, and of the beautiful songs heard during the troubled journey across the world of Eos.

So, let there be light and rise from your slumber.
However, you must not forget: as the night comes, the apocalypse will follow.

Enjoy.

LYRICS by The Black Mages
Sparks from the fire rise up to the sky
Higher and higher, oh I want to fly
Out of the story this time I'll be free
Wake up for a moment from this dream of me

Just a legend, cold words on a page
Lift up my eyes and I'm soaring away
On silver wings spread out to the sun
I'm leaving this city for the skies above

O'er the ruins and ancient light
Never lost, never failing
Follow me on my path to the heights
Before the shadows fade into night

Running back, but I'm out of time
I could tell everything
Hear the words that fill my mind
How can I say "She was mine"?

#StayChocobo

La Chocobo Band punta a riproporre i brani dei The Black Mages, il gruppo progressive metal giapponese creato da Nobuo Uematsu che rielabora in maniera aggressiva e unica i pezzi più belli presi dalle colonne sonore di Final Fantasy.

Grazie ad una line-up formata da musicisti esperti, i Chocobo Band propongono uno spettacolo che ripercorre tutti i momenti più emozionanti degli episodi della leggendaria saga videoludica, con la carica e la partecipazione emotiva che solo dei veri appassionati possono avere.

Se siete fan della saga di Final Fantasy, se amate il rock/metal infarcito da organi Hammond e melodie sinfoniche, o se siete semplicemente in cerca di un paio d'ore di buona musica, allora non potete mancare!
