As many things in life changes, it was four years later (2001) that one of the founding members, keyboardist Davide Bruno decided to begin a new spiritual journey bringing him to change completely his life becoming a Priest. After this important decision, another one will be essential: Metafora decided to change their monicker as METATRONE from that moment on. The new band’s name means “God is since now and forever”, consequently the band begins to write power-prog metal songs deeply inspired by a Christian Catholic view of life and human being. It was in 2005 when they produced with the help of TRP music their first album called “La Mano Potente” soon followed by the english version called “The Powerful Hand” distributed by Scarlet Records in Europe and King Records in Asia.
After its release, the band begins to play often live in Italy and around the world as well, playing at festivals like Elements of Rock twice, Tumbalong Park and World Youth Day in Australia just to name a few.
As many time happens, they toured a lot but immediately after they began to write new songs which bring them to a new and highest musical and lyrical level, songs were more influenced by prog but powerful at the same time. Most of that songs will be released on their third studio album, “Paradigma”. The new stunning 13 tracks album was produced by the band and TRP Music, officially released on 25 december 2010: the album features songs sang in english, italian, latin and spanish with some interesting growling vocal choruses performed by priest Davide himself getting very good reviews on the most popular metal magazines like Metal Hammer Italy, Metal Maniac and many other on-line magazines.
On May 2012 the band released their first videoclip, “In Spe Resurrectionis” from “Paradigma” (winning also the David Award as best italian song at V Premios David) while on june 2013 the band released a single track called “Heavenly Field” written against the Zionist policy supporting Gaza population at the time featuring italian hip hop band One Crew as special guest on vocals.
The band now is working at the new album release with a different line up: Tony Zappa and Virgilio Ragazzi has been now replaced by Dino Fiorenza on bass (Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, John Macaluso) and Salvo “T-Metal” Grasso on drums (Hypersonic, DenieD).
In 2015 Metatrone entered in the studio to record their third full-length album “Eucharismetal”. In November “Latest News From Light” has been released as video (http://bit.ly/METATRONE_LatestNews) first anticipation from the new album, to be released MARCH 11TH, 2016 by ROCKSHOTS. Along the new album will be re-released new versions of “The Powerful Hand” (remastered) and “Paradigma” with bonus tracks

Keep Running
Metatrone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Secrets in my mind
With my eyes wide open
Slid a hand to the light
I quiz my best time nowaday
So warm and wonderful, my ordinary life
There is no balancing my soul without grace
My head is running, I can feel the way
The freedoms in my only hands
Keep running
Keep running
I remember the grim reflections
In my death simile
Black venom pools ride upon your legacy
No need for praises, and no time for compromise
There is no balancing my soul without grace
My head is running, I can feel the way
In different scaling we all gaze, so blind to see
The freedoms in my only hands
RUN!
The sound of breathing narrows
His winning notes agree(?)
With broken breath, I am standing by your sacred shield
Stealing my light
Little me
Sleeping in tears
I can call me "man"
There is no balancing my soul without your grace
My head is running I can, feel the way
In different scaling we all gaze, so blind to see
The freedoms in my only hands
There is no balancing my soul without your grace
My head is running, I can feel the way
In different scaling we don't gaze, so blind to see
The freedoms in my only hands
I keep running
These lyrics from Metatrone's song "Keep Running" evoke a sense of struggle and perseverance. The opening lines describe walking in the sunrise and breathing, giving the impression of someone starting their day off on a positive note. However, there are "secrets" in this person's mind, suggesting that there is more going on beneath the surface. Despite this, their eyes are "wide open," indicating that they are alert and aware of their surroundings. The next lines suggest that the person is trying to live their life to the fullest ("my best time nowaday") and that they value their ordinary life as something "warm and wonderful." However, there is something missing in their life that they refer to as "grace." Without it, their soul cannot be balanced, and they feel like their "head is running."
The next verse takes a darker turn, with the singer remembering "grim reflections" and "black venom pools" that seem to be connected to someone's legacy. They don't want or need praise, but they also won't compromise on their ideals. Once again, the idea of grace is brought up, and the singer emphasizes that there is no balancing their soul without it. They sing "RUN!" as a call to action, suggesting that they are ready to keep moving forward no matter what.
In the final verse, the focus shifts to another person who seems to be struggling. Someone has stolen the singer's light, leaving them feeling small and helpless ("little me"). They are also "sleeping in tears," which is a powerful and heartbreaking image. In spite of this, the singer still calls themselves "man," suggesting that they are still trying to be strong and resilient. Once again, grace is mentioned as a necessary component for balancing the soul. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "I keep running," which echoes the idea of perseverance and determination that has been present throughout the entire song.
