🔥NEW UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT!🔥
🤘New release from: SANDNESS – Vertigo (May 16, 2025)🤘
Italian hard rock power trio Sandness is back with their fifth studio album, Vertigo, set to be released on May 16th, 2025 via Rockshots Records.
Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Alessandro Del Vecchio at Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio (Italy), the album marks a new creative chapter for the band, shaped by personal and professional changes.
Written during a time of transition, Vertigo captures the feeling of taking a leap of faith into the unknown. The band embraced a new way of working together, making the songwriting process different from previous releases. The result is an album that stays true to Sandness’ signature sound: energetic, melodic, and filled with catchy hooks and anthemic choruses.
“This album was born in a very special moment for us. Life changes forced us to rethink how we create music together, and that pushed us out of our comfort zone. Vertigo is about embracing uncertainty, but also about staying true to our identity as a band,” says Sandness.
With ten new tracks blending powerful riffs, sing-along choruses, and a mix of hard rock and power pop influences, Vertigo is an album for fans of UFO, D-A-D, The Darkness, and Y&T. The songs were carefully selected to reflect the band’s evolution, capturing both their high-energy live sound and a more mature, refined approach to songwriting.
To celebrate the album announcement, Sandness unleash the first single and official music video “Not Your Dog”, a hard-hitting track packed with attitude, energy, and a message of self-empowerment.
Blending driving riffs, punchy rhythms, and anthemic choruses, the song reinforces the band’s trademark sound. Built around a sharp, infectious melody and lyrics that push back against control and expectations, “Not Your Dog” delivers an unfiltered statement of independence. Its dynamic interplay of gritty guitars, tight drums, and bold vocals makes it an instant crowd favourite—perfectly crafted for both live singalongs and high-energy playlists.
The band will present the new album live on May 20, 2025, at Alcatraz – Milan, opening an epic night alongside Eclipse and Swiss hard rock legends Gotthard, in what will be their only Italian show!
Vertigo will be released via Rockshots Records on May 16th, 2025, and will be available on CD and a special limited edition purple vinyl.
