Generally speaking, I’m very covetous for things that shouldn’t go together but somehow do, sometimes in an impeccable and unprecedented manner. You know, chocolate and potato chips, Romeo and Juliet, greed and power, all that stuff. Taking things from the opposite ends of the spectrum and ramming them together yields some interesting results. There also tends to be no middle ground, as the outcome usually is either one of the greatest or the worst incidents in human history, career and style defining gestalt or a catastrophic mixture no one should’ve gone for. Giving the stink eye to pineapples and pizza here, that’s just nasty. But the band I aim to introduce to you today is of the former kind, excelling where others have failed miserably, rising above the grey mass in a brilliant and incandescent fashion.
‘The band was born in 2013, and at the time we were playing quite the basic kind of death/mathcore music, but suddenly decided to add more influences to those basics to make sure of putting more of ourselves into the music we perform. After that, we decided to add black metal riffs and atmospheres but without losing our own stamp. We then managed to get who we consider to be the best people to work with us in this project, and I’m very satisfied with everything we’ve been able to create ever since.’
‘At the moment we are looking for a compositional level where we try to deconstruct the concept of a ‘metal song’ and be as free as possible in order to express ourselves, changing from cacophonous moments to introspective atmospheres using our own, very personal musical rules. Most of our songs are written either by me or Daniele. Year after year we’re looking forward to creating something original by writing more and more complex and eclectic riffs. We are slowly getting rid of our mathcore side inspired by the works of bands like Kayo Dot and Amia Venera Landscape, both of which are artists we think use personal and anarchic compositions, but still sound coherent and stay true to themselves.’
‘I always try to make a connection between the music and the words that I can express alongside it. It’s usually a personal research. I mostly speak about my impression of the world in its entirety and the general human condition. Most of the time I’m forced by others to share the lyrics, since I think that people should be linked to the music in its entirety and not just be focused on the meaning of what I’m singing. Because the sense of what I sing is included to the feeling that our music gives.’
‘For the newest album we thought of connecting all the song together to create a unique and massive song, to be considered as a musical landscape with all the differences and peculiarity that could be found is such a large prospective.’
‘Considering that for us the music is a catharsis, it’s definitely not important to have goals as much as it is to enjoy composing and performing with people who feel the same way as we do.’
