Italian rockers THE ROCK ALCHEMIST have unveiled a new live performance video for ‚Passion Drives You Over‘, taken from their 2024 album ‚Lead, Love and Gold‘ via Lion Music. The footage was captured on February 28, 2026, at the auditorium of Magazzini Musicali Merula, one of Europe’s largest musical instrument stores.Turin-based rock outfit THE ROCK ALCHEMIST have released a new live performance video for their track ‚Passion Drives You Over‘, the latest visual offering drawn from their 2024 full-length ‚Lead, Love and Gold‘, issued through Lion Music. The performance was recorded on February 28, 2026, at the auditorium of Magazzini Musicali Merula, a venue housed within one of the largest musical instrument retailers in Europe, with mixing handled by guitarist Beppe Geracitano.
Vocalist Aldo Garrone offered insight into the song’s meaning, describing passion as the defining force of human existence and the driving energy that compels people to push beyond personal limits. The track’s title carries a deliberate double meaning, evoking both emotional drive and the physical act of going beyond — a concept the band chose to illustrate visually through the iconic setting of Monte Carlo, filmed in agreement with the Principality of Monaco and the ACI.
The release follows the band’s recent live video for ‚Limitless‘, also captured at the Magazzini Musicali Merula show, continuing a series of stripped-back, authentic live recordings. THE ROCK ALCHEMIST have been vocal about their commitment to performing without autotune, samples, or overdubbing, a stance they consider increasingly important in an era of technology-heavy live productions.
Formed in 2009, THE ROCK ALCHEMIST have cultivated an international following across Finland, the USA, France, Germany, Brazil, and beyond, while also carving out a unique connection to the world of motorsport. The band made history as the first rock act to perform on the podium of the Monza Circuit during the 2015 Monza Rally Show awards ceremony. Their music has featured on Eurosport and RTBF Belgium, and received airplay on Virgin Radio France.
