Scala Mercalli Posts "September 18, 1860" Music Video

Italian heavy metal band Scala Mercalli released latest album “New Rebirth” on October 10th worldwide via Art Gates Records. Now the band has released a video taken off the album - check out “September 18, 1860” in the player below.

Comments Scala Mercalli: "As said in the title, 'September 18, 1860,' this song tells us of how Sardinian Kingdom Army defeated the Pontifical States during the battle of Castelfidardo (AN). The occupation of the Pontifical States Army on Italian central regions kept parted the northern part of Italy from the southern, which Garibaldi had set free from Austrian dominion. The defeat of the Pontifical States meant the unification of what will have become the first Italian Kingdom. The video was filmed partly on Musone river, were the vanguards of the army engaged in battle.

"Thanks to the authorities of Castelfidardo, the remaining scenes could be realized inside the National Monument dedicated to those who fell in battle, one of the most important of Italian Risorgimento.

"With this video, the band wants to remember the sacrifice of those who, from south to north, fell in battle for the unity of our country, but also give an example of national unity (that we hope one day could be of the whole world) that we should try, nowadays, to recover, in order to set the people free, as was done before, from the true oppressors who would like us divided."
