White Skull, an Italian power metal band formed in 1988. The group released their first demo White Skull in 1991 and began performing live shortly after. In May 1994, they released the demo Save the Planet. Their debut album, I Won't Burn Alone, was released in 1995 by Underground Symphony. The band gained significant traction with their concept album Tales from the North (1999), which featured collaborations with Chris Boltendhal of Grave Digger and was published by Nuclear Blast Records. This led to extensive touring, including the Excalibur Millennium 2000 Tour with Grave Digger in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Subsequent albums included Public Glory, Secret Agony (2000), The Dark Age (2002), Forever Fight (2009), and Will of the Strong (2017).
