BIOGRAPHY
Blending elements of electronic, techno, industrial, and deathcore, Venetian alternative metal act Hand of Juno carve out a distinct sonic identity driven by heavy breakdowns and haunting, melodic depth. The band’s prominent lineup — Melissa Bruschi (vocals), Elisa ‘Helly’ Montin (drums), Francesca Mancini (guitar), and Marco Valerio (bass) — bring a powerful visual and live presence that matches the brutality and beauty of their music. Club-style energy and metal catharsis in an apocalyptic sound design.
The group, signed to Out Of Line Music, have landed major festival performances at the likes of Summer Breeze Open Air (DE) and Resurrection (ES), and have performed alongside acts such as Jinjer, Aviana, House Of Protection, Lake Malice, Erdling, and Böse Fuchs.
Formed in the summer of 2021, Hand of Juno first emerged publicly with the release of their debut music video, ‘Right Now’, in spring 2023. In February 2024, their music video ‘Psychotic Banana’ was selected as a finalist at the Berlin Music Video Awards. Off the back of this early momentum, the band quickly established themselves across the European live circuit.
In November 2024, Hand of Juno released their debut album, Psychotic Banana, via Berlin-based label Out Of Line Music. To coincide, the music video for ‘Hug My Death’ was released, showcasing the band’s definitive lineup in a continuous long-take performance. Their momentum continued throughout 2025 and beyond, with festival appearances including Dissonance Festival (IT), Out Of Line Weekender (DE), SummerCrock Fest (IT), Isola Rock (IT), and PorkoRock (IT).
With upcoming 2026 performances at Reeperbahn Festival (DE) and Helsinki Industrial Festival (FI), Hand of Juno continue to build an increasingly international profile around their combination of crushing heaviness, electronic experimentation, dark atmosphere, and striking visual identity.
