TOM MONK: Live drumsShape of Water is an electronic art rock band hailing from Manchester, United Kingdom, formed in 2018 by Rox Capriotti and Luca De Falco. Known for their "genre-fluid" music that blends rock, electronic elements, and atmospheric soundscapes, the band invites listeners to experience their unique world without boundaries.Rox and Luca met in 2004 in their hometown of San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy, forming their first band, The Lotus. After relocating to Manchester in 2015, they founded Shape of Water, exploring themes of human emotion, societal issues, and political critique.Their debut album, Great Illusions, produced by Paul Reeve (Muse, Beta Band, Supergrass) with additional mixing by Sky Van Hoff (Rammstein, Kreator, Caliban), was released in 2020 to critical acclaim. Noted publications like Classic Rock, Rolling Stone.de, and Metal.de praised the album’s depth and artistry. When COVID-19 disrupted plans for live promotion, Shape of Water quickly adapted with widely received live-streamed performances. Early in 2021, they reimagined some of their music on the EP Lockdown On Mars and released a live EP, Livestream From Mars, recorded during their virtual shows. Post-pandemic, they resumed live performances, supporting acts like Radkey, Bad Touch, and Christian Death, and appeared at UK festivals such as Call Of The Wild, HRH Sleaze, and Heaven & Hell Festival 23.In 2022, the band released their second album, Amor Fati, via Eclipse Records. This album explores determinism and questions free will through a dark, introspective lens. For Halloween, they released a double single featuring “A Ghost In Manchester” and a haunting cover of “Mr. Sandman.”In 2024, Shape of Water officially began unveiling new music again, releasing covers of Sting’s "Russians" and The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights" along with alternative versions. On October 16, 2024, the band debuted their first song in Italian, “Amandoti,” a cover of the Italian alternative rock song by CCCP – Fedeli Alla Linea, capturing a dark and sensual vibe. This release acted as a teaser for their following single, The Silence Of The Lambs, released on October 30. Known for their heaviest sound to date, The Silence Of The Lambs was recorded with drums at NoiseBoy Studios in Manchester and mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering. This highly anticipated track will appear on their forthcoming third album, set for release in 2025.Shape of Water has been hailed as "potentially huge" by Classic Rock Magazine and described as "phenomenal" by New Wave Of Classic Rock Facebook Group Admins. Their music draws comparisons to Muse and Depeche Mode, with fans and critics alike lauding their electrifying live shows and innovative sound. BBC Introducing Lancashire has also featured their music, calling attention to the band’s engaging style.Beyond music, Rox and Luca bring a DIY approach to their visual art, designing album covers and promotional visuals themselves, adding a personalized touch that resonates with their dedicated fanbase. With each release, Shape of Water continues to expand their musical horizons and captivate audiences with their creative authenticity. As they prepare for their third album, Rox Capriotti and Luca De Falco remain a powerful presence on the scene, setting new standards for their genre and carving out an enduring legacy.
