Nefesh Core new single “Lullaby,” featuring their new lineup with Andrea Marchesi on drums. The single is a cover of The Cure’s classic song, reimagined with a heavier sound and a more direct vocal approach.
The band comments on the new single:
Ghigas: “Proud of our connection to the 80s dark wave that has always distinguished us, we wanted to pay homage to this immortal anthem of The Cure. Through a fine rearrangement and a more metal-oriented vision, we have made it an integral part of our repertoire. We are super happy with what we have done!”
David: “When I thought about revisiting this wonderful historic song, which is very dear to me, I was particularly amused by the idea of transforming the whispered vocals into a more direct and catchy way, obviously on my strings, markedly dark and metal; I think I succeeded.”
Andrea: “Personalizing and playing one of the songs that has accompanied me, since I was a child, in my life growth makes me happy and excited!”
Bob: “We often quote songs that are part of our background and we have fun to nefesh-corize’. But the spark that starts it all has to happen. The original song is based on a rhythmic guitar lick on the two main chords, I reviewed it and created the looped arpeggio that kicked off our version. Doing it was incredibly natural, the song has a strong dark, reflective nature and hides a repressed anger that comes to the surface thanks to David’s interpretation.”

Nefesh Core: A Dark Fusion of New Wave, Metal, and Melody
Formed in 2018 by Italian music veterans Dave Brown and Stefano “Ghigas” Calvagno (known for their work in white-progressive metal band Metatrone), Nefesh Core brings a unique blend of dark music influences to the scene. Joined by Ivan Newton on drums, they draw inspiration from 80s New Wave and dark music, weaving it with elements of melodic hard rock, classic metal, and 90s gothic metal.
Nefesh Core stands out with Dave Brown handling both vocals and keyboards, creating a cohesive and impactful soundscape.
Their debut album, “Getaway,” embodies this fusion perfectly. Released in 2020 via Rockshots Records, it offers 10 tracks that transport listeners through a spectrum of sonic experiences, balancing dark atmosphere with catchy melodies. Mixed by Luigi Scuderi at Tower Hill Studios and mastered by renowned producer Jacob Hansen (Hansen Studios, Denmark), “Getaway” boasts meticulous production that amplifies the band’s creative vision.
The album’s artwork, crafted by Christian Wallin, further reflects the band’s aesthetic, adding another layer of depth and intrigue to their world.
With their unique sound and passionate approach, Nefesh Core is poised to leave a mark on the music scene. Stay tuned for their upcoming releases and live performances!
Today the band welcomed new drummer Andrea Marchesi, replacing Ivan Newton. Andrea brings new energy and talent to the lineup, completing Nefesh Core’s sound with his skill and precision.
