Caso
Dieci tracce
12" + DVD

Andrea Casali, also known as Caso, is the new Bruce Springsteen. “Dieci tracce” lp & dvd is his own “Nebraska”. If you were looking for the italian folk new sensation, you’re in the right place. Give it a chance, you won’t be disappointed.
Folk is just a guitar and lots of feelings. You’re lucky: you get them both.

mp3: Prova di durezza Brinell / Inno generazionale di noi sfigati

Chambers
s/t
12"

Born from the ashes of Violentbreakfast and featuring current or ex members from Summer camp disease and Cohesion, this Tuscany based combo reminds me about bands like Haram, Fugazi or Drive like jehu - but with a screamo touch. Beautiful record and beautiful artwork by 108nero.com

mp3: A planet is on fire

Corea
Quien encuentra la madre conoce a los hijos
CD

Under the long title of ‘Quien encuentra a la madre conoce a los hijos’ here it is the second record for Corea. It is a record where they show 8 new songs that go from the Breach and Switchblade influences in the heaviest parts to the more subtle parts of tricks and games played between guitars and synths, reminding City of Caterpillar.
Getting away of the often artificial sound of some experimental bands, a great recording production gives the warmth needed to express the deep astonishing soundscapes that go out from the creativity of these guys.

mp3: Sin forma no hay deseo

Daitro / Sed non satiata
split
CD

This is a co-release with Echo Canyon , a new nice label from Lyon run by Julien and Gwen from Daitro. You know the bands, so you know I don't lie when I say this record is amazing. It comes in an awesome packaging with lyrics, translations and all the stuff that the old nostalgic punks usually like. But mostly, it's a benefit record as part of the incomes will be given to Spazio Autismo, a no profit organization that helps autistic kids to improve their many skills and their social life.

L'ipotesi della stipsi
12" pic

L'ipotesi della stipsi, the debut album from this band featuring members of Revolution summer and Laghetto, could well fit as a soundtrack for a space trip. Offering a cohesive experience, from the music to the lyrics to the layout, this record explores the sound pioneered by the likes of Neurosis and Breach. Awesome artwork by Ratigher for a full-color picture disc.

Lady Tornado
Da qualche parte tra la vita e la morte
one sided 12"

From Bologna / Parma / Modena, Lady Tornado (a kind of all-stars band includes ex members from Caligula, By all means, Society of jesus, The death of Anna karina and so on) play a brutal mix of grind and rock'n'roll. This is their first, furious LP, out after a 7"s split with Summer camp disease and a 10"s split with The infarto, scheisse! Don't miss it.

mp3: Il volto di ferro

Forest yell / Mastic
split
CDr

Sludge hc with lyrics about Mother Nature for Forest yell from Milano (we're not talking about hippy-core, they're very very angry), ultra fast powerviolence for Novara teen idles Mastic, tons of regazness for both of them! Don't miss this split!

mp3: Forest yell - Chi sparge orrore e distruzione / Mastic - He doesn't bike anymore

Marnero / Si non sedes is
split
12"

Si Non Sedes Is is a new creature born from the ashes of Concrete, Notorius, Fucking Blood and Los Vaticanos, bands which marked a turning point in the italian scene in the late 90's. Combining slow, articulated riffing and songwriting with black-ish vocals and psychedelic rock influences, this band has a massive emotional impact and a dark, gloomy mood that makes them unique. Marnero is the Laghetto's new deal project with members of Lady Tornado, Ed, D.u.n.e and Laghetto itself. PostHc. Getting older made them want to play slow, and so they did. They bring the heaviness of early Neurosis together with a desperate yet ironic lyrical approach, all mixed with a noisy attitude and a love for uneven times. This split 12" comes in a limited edition packed with a deluxe gold silkscreeneed cover featuring artwork from the mighty Andreco. First press 500 copies, 250 orange clear vinyl and 250 black.

mp3: Marnero - Trebisonda / Si non sedes is - Respekt die scheisse

Pyramids / Violentbreakfast
split
10"

Intense and obscure hardcore screamo with strong postrock influences for both bands. Pyramids are from the usa, if you've loved their previous releases then you'll love these 3 great songs too; Violenbreakfast are from italy, they changed a little bit from their last record, still "screamo" but with a more personal and original touch. Deluxe packaging, awesome music.

mp3: Pyramids - Ashen / Violentbreakfast - Porti grandi significa poche navi

Raein
Ogni nuovo inizio
CD

Raein "ogni nuovo inizio" cd was released in may: it features a long song splitted into six parts that mark the comeback of these lovely guys.
Thousand guitars and hundred vocals carve what probably is one of the best chaotic, yet rockish, tangled but still beautifully melodic screamo records around.

mp3: 01 / 02

Vague angels
Let's duke it out at kilkenny katz'
12"

Usa melodic post punk/indierock, ex The lapse & The van pelt, sweet melodies and vocals, beautiful lyrics about life and love and sadness and happyness.

mp3: The princess and the newt / Vague angels of vagary

Vulturum
Vineta
12"

Vulturum is a 3-piece band from the foggy suburbs of Milan. Two drummers, one axe, one throat. Their sound comes from the same psychedelic depths of Boris and Earth combined with heavy tribalistic drumming in the style of Breach or early Neurosis, yet they add a gloomy, melancholy touch which puts them a few steps beyond the standards of the genre. Something like watching an aurora borealis drinking cheap scotch with a hungry wolf sitting by your side. A moment of grace going to end in blood very soon.
Heavy 180gr black vinyl, cardboard cover + insert, printed inner sleeves, includes link for free mp3 download.
