Rockshots Records announces the release of “Bodyless”, the brand-new single by Italian metal act Dust, out now on all digital platforms.

“Bodyless” is taken from Dust’s upcoming second full-length album, “Thoughts Of A Falling Ma“, scheduled for release on April 3rd, 2026, and represents a pivotal chapter within the record’s overarching concept. The song delves into a stark, uncompromising vision of judgment and damnation, portraying a liminal space where souls, stripped of identity and status, await their final sentence beyond life and time.

Lyrically, “Bodyles” explores the idea that, at the end of earthly existence, wealth, power, and social distinction lose all meaning. What remains is the weight of one’s actions and the inescapable confrontation with guilt, memory, and consequence. The track embodies one of the album’s central themes: a near-death journey in which the main character is forced to face unresolved sins and inner demons in a realm suspended between eternity and oblivion.

Commenting on the single, the band states:

“‘Bodyless’ represents a moment of total suspension. It’s the point where every mask falls away, and nothing can be hidden anymore. We wanted to describe a place where there is no time, no memory, and no privilege – only judgment. It’s one of the most direct and unsettling tracks we’ve written, both lyrically and emotionally.”

Musically, “Bodyless” highlights Dust’s evolved, more cohesive sound, combining aggressive death and groove metal foundations with sharp riffing, oppressive atmospheres, and tightly controlled dynamics. The band’s approach is raw and uncompromising, reinforcing the song’s sense of suffocation and inevitability while maintaining a strong sense of structure and impact. This sonic direction reflects the broader evolution of “Thoughts Of A Falling Man“, which marks a significant step forward in terms of heaviness, focus, and expressive depth compared to the band’s debut.

Expanding on the album’s vision, the band adds:

“This new record is heavier, darker, and more introspective than anything we’ve done before. Each track represents a spiritual stage of a single journey, and ‘Bodyless’ is one of the moments where the listener is forced to stop and confront the consequences of a life lived without escape.”

“Bodyless” stands as a key chapter within “Thoughts Of A Falling Man“, a concept-driven album conceived as a near-death experience unfolding between life and eternity. Through its relentless sound and uncompromising narrative, the single offers a clear glimpse into Dust’s renewed artistic direction and the darker, more mature identity shaping this new era.

​Dust Line-Up:​

Stefano D’Angelo: Guitars
Federico Ignini: Guitars
Francesco D’Elia: Bass
Eric Di Donato: Drums

Dust is an Italian metal band formed in 2016 from an idea by vocalist Riccardo Pirozzi and former drummer Stefano Brogi. Born out of a period of personal struggle and artistic urgency, the project took shape as a direct and uncompromising outlet for expressing inner conflict, anger and introspection. After an initial phase of experimentation, the band gradually assembled its core lineup, defining a sound rooted in heaviness, emotional depth and narrative intensity.

With the addition of guitarist Stefano D’Angelo and bassist Andrea Lege, Dust released their debut album “Break The Silence“, recorded and produced by Andreas Polito at Rocklab Studios in Turin. The record marked the band’s official entry into the Italian underground metal scene, earning attention for its raw approach and dark thematic focus. Shortly after, guitarist Federico Ignini joined the lineup, allowing Riccardo to focus exclusively on vocals and lyrics, particularly during live performances.

Following the album’s release, Dust became increasingly active on the live circuit, sharing the stage with established acts and performing across Italy and Eastern Europe, including shows in Serbia, Croatia and Romania. These experiences played a key role in shaping the band’s identity, strengthening both their musical cohesion and their commitment to an authentic, no-frills live approach focused on intensity and connection rather than visual excess.

After several lineup changes, Dust reached a stable formation in 2023, solidifying their current lineup: Riccardo Pirozzi on vocals, Stefano D’Angelo and Federico Ignini on guitars, Francesco D’Elia on bass and Eric Di Donato on drums. This renewed stability marked a turning point for the band, allowing them to refine their sound and push their songwriting toward a heavier, more focused and mature direction.

Conceived as a concept album, the new album “Thoughts Of A Falling Man” unfolds as a near-death journey, exploring themes of guilt, judgment, inner collapse and spiritual limbo. Musically, it represents a significant evolution from the debut, blending elements of death, groove, thrash and black metal into a darker, more compact and uncompromising sound.
