Hard rock band HAND ON HEART is proud to present the music video for the single “Love theme for Debora/When you fall in love”, taken from their debut album “Space”, released by Metal Zone Italia.

This AOR/rock/blues ballad captures the emotional journey of starting a new relationship, seen as a new season of life where the colors of love erase old wounds.
Directed by Massimo Vernacchio for Fotomaxver, the video was shot at the beautiful Hotel Cavallo & Gio in Montecatini Terme, Italy.

The video reflects the theme of the song, with model Federica De Angelis, whose performance perfectly conveys the emotional depth of the song. With a sound that blends melodic rock, blues and AOR influences, “Love theme for Debora” represents the intersection between past and future, a reflection on the transformative power of love.

The song is now available, along with the music video, on YouTube and marks an important milestone for the band.

HAND ON HEART is a Tuscan band formed in Montecatini Terme (PT) in 2017, dedicated to hard rock. All the band members have musical experience. Alessandro Moschini and Sergio Leonetti played in the 1980s in another hard rock band, G.L.A.S., known for their EP titled “Audax Vincit”, which is now sought after by collectors of 1980s Italian hard rock. Alessandro Moschini was also a member of H.A.R.E.M., a street metal band from Lucca led by Freddy Delirio—keyboardist of Death SS here acting as the vocalist—and of Charisma, an Italian-language hard rock project he founded together with Matteo Panichi, drummer of Damn Freaks. Gianluca Niccoli and Alessandro Moschini are also the two members of the acoustic duo COFFEE & FLOWERS, with two albums released. Christian Evans, an English guitarist who has been living in Tuscany for over 20 years, has played in many local bands. The band’s influences trace back to the hard rock of the 70s and 80s, from bands such as Van Halen, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Kiss, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi.

On October 23, 2024, the band’s debut album titled “Space” was released by Metal Zone Italia. A music video has just been released featuring the tracks “Love Theme for Debora / When You Fall in Love” from this album.

‘Space’ is the title of the debut album by Hand On Heart, a band formed in Montecatini Terme (Italy) in 2017 and dedicated to hard rock, but far from being beginners, considering the previous and current experiences of its members. Alessandro Moschini and Sergio Leonetti played in the 80s with G.L.A.S., authors of an EP entitled Audax Vincit, Moschini also played in H.A.R.E.M., a band led by Freddy Delirio – the keyboardist of Death SS – and in Charisma, a hard rock project with lyrics in Italian founded together with Matteo Panichi, drummer of Damn Freaks. Sergio Leonetti has also been part of the Ontario lineup for many years, a Tuscan country pop/rock band with three albums to their credit. Finally, Niccoli and Moschini are also members of the acoustic duo Coffee & Flowers, a musical reality with two albums in their curriculum. English guitarist Christian Evans, in Italy since 1998, has played in various local bands.

‘Space’, a work with its feet firmly planted in the hard rock that established itself between the Seventies and Eighties thanks to groups such as Van Halen, Def Leppard, Mötley Crue, Kiss, Whitesnake and Bon Jovi (who are thus considered among the major influences of the music branded Hand On Heart), has already been taken the single Roses. A refined taste of what you will find in this new, exciting release by Metal Zone Italia. The song won third place in the winter edition of the international World Songwriting Awards, coming in ahead of artists who have received Grammy nominations and the band has recently become a member of ISSA (International, Singer-Songwriters Association), an organization based in Atlanta, in the U.S.A. But if you really want to know what you will find listening to Space, Alessandro Moschini’s words are the best presentation:

“We grew up with the hard rock of the 80s, with the Los Angeles scene. We are sick of AOR and hard rock of that period. Our album is made with the heart and speaks that language. We are not interested in following the fashion of the moment, we only play the music we love”
