The Italian born singer songwriter Gab De La Vega has unveiled his fourth studio album, Life Burns, through SBÄM RecordsSell The Heart Records, Epidemic Records, Motorcity Produzioni and Overdrive Records. From the dynamic drum rhythms and fierce guitar riffs of Off My Chest to the groove of the intimate and atmospheric Northern Lights, all the way to the incendiary punk and hardcore flavored track Preaching To The Choir, Life Burns showcases a diverse sonic proposition. With twelve tracks expressing different moods, it stands out as a multifaceted and surprising album. The songs come across as credible, well conceived and capable at the same time of living a life of their own as well as contributing to the unity of the album. Gab De La Vega will also be taking the album on tour both with Gab De La Vega & The Open Cages and as a solo artist.

“I can’t believe that finally ‘Life Burns’ is out! I have been waiting a long time for this moment, it has been a long and demanding work to release this album. I would first like to thank SBÄM Records, Sell The Heart Records, Epidemic Records, Motorcity Productions and Overdrive for allowing me to make this important chapter of my musical history available. This album is very important to me. It comes out of a phase of difficulty, suffering and bewilderment and perhaps that is what makes it an intensely sincere and honest album. I did not want to put filters on either my music or my lyrics. Everything you find in here represents me 100 percent and I could not help but be proud of it.

“Life Burns.” Because it does, indeed. Life burns relentlessly, often when you least expect it. And life burns, because sometimes it hurts, just to grab it and it burns you, but you don’t give up. You try, always. On the surface, that is what underlies the title of this album. As I was saying: a very personal album, but one that I hope will resonate with many people who approach the music and lyrics. For me, music is a fundamental form of expression, often allowing me to communicate things that I would not otherwise be able to share. This is a very diverse album, in sounds, atmospheres, lyrics and feelings. Each song lives a life of its own but at the same time I think it is one of those albums that has to be tackled all at once, from beginning to end.” (Gab De La Vega)
