BIOGRAPHY : 🇬🇧

Reel is an Italian heavy metal band formed in Varese in 2021, consisting of Axel Reel, Matthew Reel, Christian Federico, Nicolas Pierro, and Beatrice Rampinelli. The band was founded in September 2020 by brothers Axel and Matthew Reel.

In 2018, while playing bass and singing in the Italian sludge/progressive metal band "Athon", Axel began writing new songs with the intention of exploring new sounds and developing his own artistic identity, laying the foundation for what would later become the Reel project.

In 2021, Axel left Athon to fully dedicate himself to the new project with Matthew, leading to the creation of their first album: 

"In Each of Us". 

The first part of the album was recorded in May 2022, with Axel on vocals, bass, and keyboards, and Matthew on guitars and backing vocals, accompanied by a drummer who preferred to remain anonymous. In the summer of the same year, Christian Federico joined the band, followed by Andrea Agliardi and Nicolas Pierro in February 2023, completing the lineup.

In 2024, the band recorded two music videos and performed at several live events, including "Rock Innsomma". They also took part in the selection for "Rock In Day".

In August 2024, Andrea left Reel to pursue other musical projects.
In February 2025, singer and guitarist Beatrice Rampinelli, known as “La Stria,” joined the band.

The band is currently working on the second part of "In Each of Us", scheduled for release in 2025. The first part was released between September and October 2024.
