History & Biography
Headless was screwed on in 1993, was beheaded in 2000 and reconstituted in 2011. The act was founded by cousins Walter (guitars) and Enrico Cianciusi (drums). The progressive band had a demo called Future To Past in 1996. The sexily entitled album debut was called Inside You and issued through something called Event 99th Floor in 1998. Mauro Buoninfante and Naigel Carusi left in 2000 at the time of disbandment and did not return when the act reformed in 2011. At the same time, Walter Cianciusi gave up his exclusive control to the microphone. Mike-for-hire Göran Edman was the vocalist upon reformation. The guitarists were part of Geoff Tate’s solo act and Queensrÿche drummer Scott Rockenfield helped with the return album. Martin Helmantel joined in 2020. Square One was supported by a video for Streetlight Buzz. The band opened for Geoff Tate in 2023. Dario Parente officially left in 2024.

Italy-based Headless had a video for the song Weightless, which was taken from a forthcoming album, Transitional Objects, which was to be released in late summer 2025.

The band has opened for the likes of Fates Warning, Queensrÿche, Candlemass, Angra, Skid Row and Bonfire.
