Future Is Tomorrow

We’re now in the year 1915, the war rages across Europe and quite everyone is involved in it. Italy had been a part of the Triple Alliance since 1882, but our nation had its own plans about the Austrian territories in Trentino, Istria and Dalmatia. To achieve its goals, Italy signed a secret pact with France in 1902, thus nullifying its alliance with the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires. These two countries wanted Italy to remain neutral, offering the french colony of Tunisia in return, but the Allies made a counter-offer in which Italy would receive the territories it set its eyes on, after the defeat of Austria-Hungary. Italy signed the Treaty of London and joined the Triple Entent declaring war to the Austro-Hungarians on May, the 23rd. The day after, the italian troops started heading east, and still now a popular song retains the memory of that day. The first verses are:

The Piave whispered calm and placid during the crossing
of the first infantrymen on 24 May;
the army marched on to reach the frontier
to make a wall against the enemy.
the silent infantrymen passed in the night
they had to be silent and go forward.
From the beloved river banks they heard
light and low the exultation of the waves.
It was a sweet and propitious omen.
The Piave whispered: the foreigner shall not pass!

Depiction of the Battle of Doberdò, 1916

It has been May, the 24th and it’s going to be May, the 24th.

On May, the 24th, Future Is Tomorrow is going to release its new single: “The Defeat”, for FREE DOWNLOAD!!!!

We cannot do anything to stop those acts but we go on, carrying a message with our words and our music: here, in the XXIst century, we want to believe that mankind can work to build a future where you can always find a way to talk things out, where violence is NEVER the right path to follow.

Thus, we jump again in our little time machine and we go back to the year 1914 to continue with our example of how things like that one can ignite something far more horrible.

Soon after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Austria-Hungary sent a letter to Serbia. Well, more than a simple letter, it was a full fledged ultimatum. Serbia accepted it just partially and started mobilizing its army. Austria-Hungary, then, declared war to Serbia.

During the last decades of the 19th century, all of the european countries had signed various treaties about mutual military support in case a conflict should occur, so this war declaration obliged everyone to set foot on the battlefield.

Austrian propaganda in 1914, after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand

While the Austro-Hungarians started the invasion of Serbia, the Germans invaded neutral Belgium and Luxembourg on their way to France. Due to this act, Britain declared war to Germany.In the meantime Russia was stopped in its invasion of East Prussia by the Germans and the Ottoman Empire joined the war opening up fronts in the Caucasus, Mesopotamia and the Sinai.

At that time, some countries were still on stand by. Among them, Italy…

Yes, this is another misleading post! Don’t get pissed off, on the next one we’re going to unveil the release date of our new single. If you successfully collected the clues in these posts and if you can guess the right date, drop us a line at band(@)futureistomorrow.it. You’ll receive the link to download “The Defeat” some hours before the rest of the world does!

Stay tuned for more…

As we anticipated here and here, we put the “Fit to Die” concept on hold to talk about a different thread: war! But why war? Mankind is struggling to achieve peace, but we need always to remember that millions and millions of people have payed with their own life for this goal already. Even so, we’re not even close to the end of many meaningless conflicts.

Let’s go back in time, nearly one century ago. We’re in Sarajevo, the date is June the 28th, 1914. Do you know the guy on the picture below?

Gavrillo Princip, irredentist of the “Black Hand”

Nowadays he would be called a terrorist. He’s Gavrillo Princip, a serbian irredentist of the group named “Black Hand“. On June the 28th, 1914 he shot two times the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, right after he and his accomplices failed to kill him with a bomb.

Why did he kill the Archduke? What can lead a person to take another person’s life? If we could know the answer to this question, nothing would have happened in Boston and Damascus would be a quiet place to visit. Sad to say, the truth is different.

Let’s get back to Gavrillo Princip: what was he trying to achieve? At the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, that area was a politically “hot” place. In 1878 Austria-Hungary received the mandate to occupy and administer the Ottoman Vilayet of Bosnia, while the Ottoman Empire retained official sovereignty.  The Great Powers (Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Ottoman Empire and Russian Empire) gave official recognition to the Principality of Serbia as a fully sovereign state, which four years later transformed into a kingdom.

The tide changed in 1903, when the Serbian Royal Palace was stormed by some serbian military officers, which brutally killed the royal family, thus installing a new king. This one was more nationalistic, friendlier to Russia and less friendly to Austria-Hungary.  Over the next decade, disputes between Serbia and its neighbors erupted as Serbia moved to build its power and gradually reclaim its 14th-century empire.

Many other things happened shortly after, but we think you are starting to get the picture. This brings us again to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

What Princip wanted was, in the end, freedom. What he didn’t know is that his actions have been the stepping stone for the beginning of World War I.

Did he do something wrong? Of course he did! Taking a human life is ALWAYS the worst thing to do! Was there another way to show his patriotic feelings? We will never know…

“The defeat” is not a song about Gavrillo Princip and what he did back then, but it’s a song about the loss of freedom in a twisted culture, where the value of feedom itself is lost in the drift of a decadent society. And it’s a blast!

First of all, we’re really glad to introduce you our new singer: Michele Guaitoli! I’m sure many of you know him for his great work as the leader of the band Overtures. They’re going to release their new album soon, so don’t forget to check it out!

Michele has recorded the vocals for our new single “The Defeat” already, and you can believe me when I say that his performance is outstanding! He’s a very talented and professional singer, he’s adding a lot of emotion in the new path Future Is Tomorrow as a band is taking. Michele’s also a skilled composer, so he’s giving his all to refine the songs of our upcoming album. It’s gonna be a blast!

Speaking of the new single, the song is currently in his final mastering stage with the great Staffan Karlsson (Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, The Roxette, Firewind), who is forging a new, powerful, epic sound we’re very proud of.

Want more? We’re plenty of surprises, but you’ll need to wait just a little bit more… so STAY TUNED!

We’re here after some silence (due to our dayjobs) for some great news!

We’re in the production stage of our new single, “The Defeat”. Drums and guitars were recorded last July, and now we’re going on with the bass. Here’s the first big new: we’re going to have a great guest on the bass guitar, and his name’s Fabio D’Amore (Pathosray, Serenity). Fabio has great instrumental skills and he deserves all the fame he’s having around the world. The bass parts he’s recording are simply awsome!

But the news are not over yet! Stay tuned for more…

Shortly after “Fit to Die” recordings I felt it was the time to improve our style a little, so I wrote “The Defeat”. This song was meant to be the next album’s opener, but things turned in a slightly different way. I guess the time wasn’t right in the end.

Time passed by, and when we started working on the new material we decided to start from scratch, therefore “The Defeat” lied on my desktop for a couple of years… I listened to it again some week ago and I found myself thinking: “Hey, that’s not bad at all, we can give it another try!”

So here we are! This song will help us in testing the mix among the new riffs, the new guitar sound and the new orchestral arrangements, so be prepared for something that will sound HUGE!

The lyrics take inspiration from the first chant of Giacomo Leopardi’s “Paralipomeni della Batracomiomachia”, the opera we’re talking about on our upcoming album. They may sound a little discouraging Well, we’re talking about people defeated by an overwhelming power in a war for freedom. Does it sound familiar? It has been written in the 19th century, but we hear about this topic everyday…

Stay tuned for more updates!
