Elektradrive Over The Space

2016, Elektradrive is one of the most significant band in the history of Italian Hard Rock. Born in 1981 as Overdrive, they are from Torino and they changed their name to Electradrive in 1983. The band was formed 1986 to 1993. Elektradrive debut single ,,Let It Survive" was released on 1984 by Smoko Records, that was at the times the label of Simone Falovo major brother, Stefano, who really discovered the band in his family. Immediately after Elektradrive were featured, in the same year on the compilation HM ERUPTION with the song ,,Lord Of The Rings", and in the compilation METALLO ITALIA with ,,Winner" the year after. The band's style then was a sort of hard/heavy rock similar at the sound of Iron Maiden/Dio/Ozzy Osbourne/Michael Schenker Group, but with a nice presence of keyboards synth sounds in it, so that Beppe Riva from Rockerilla Italian magazine, coined for them the term ´Space Metal` band. Elektradrive's debut full length album, OVER THE SPACE was finally ready and released in 1986.
