The band's music blended elements of metal, darkwave, deathrock, alternative, and synthpop. Known for their unique style, which incorporated electronics, graveyard ballads, and emotive storytelling, Bella Morte gained a dedicated following in their underground music scene, affectionately referred to as "The Fallen".
In March 10, 2007, co-founder Gopal Metro left the band, and vocalist Andy Deane announced Tony Pugh as his replacement. Bella Morte's 2011 lineup included Andy Deane on vocals, Tony Lechmanski on guitar, Marshall Camden on bass, and Branden Shores on drums.
Having been signed to Metropolis Records from 2002-2014, Bella Morte also released albums through their own label, Some Wear Leather, and Cleopatra Records. In 2006, Bella Morte's album "Bleed the Grey Sky Black" reached number one on the Metropolis Records Preorder sales list.
On July 25, 2023, after the death of guitarist Tony Lechmanski, Andy Deane announced that Bella Morte had played their final show on March 31, 2023, at Dark Force Fest in New Jersey. Andy continued his musical journey as a solo artist under The Rain Within.
