SAD | European Metallica Tribute
Established in 2004, the band still performs in the most important stages in Europe, bringing the music of the Four Horsemen to life with a powerful tribute. Their solid sound, appearance, and, starting from 2024, a stunning videoshow, create an immersive experience for the audience.
Officially partnered with Zonametallica (Italian Metallica Fanclub #350), SaD is also in a strong relationship with St. Germany (the German Chapter #273), bringing representatives at some of the band’s most important shows, and Metallitarium (the Spanish Chapter #351) with whom recently started to share some events in Spain.
Approaching 1.000 shows, the band has toured extensively in Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Spain, UAE (Dubai), Croatia, Albania, and more countries are planned for future tours.
Several musicians have contributed to the band’s growth, alongside the founder Mattia Montin, but current SaD members are:
Mattia Montin – lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Matteo Bertoldi – bass, backing vocals
Eddie Thespot – lead guitar, backing vocals
Ronnie Battizocco – drums
SaD engagement is also being recognised for the huge effort in faithfully recreating the S&M (Symphony and Metallica) show featuring orchestra musicians alongside the band on stage. This massive show debuted on November 30th, 2019, at the Vicenza City Hall theater and is now ready to tour, offering a unique and unforgettable event.
