TRACKLIST
1 - Caligula
2 - Cult Of The Witch Goddess
3 - I Drink Your Blood
4 - O Fera Flagella
5 - Dead King Rise

I Fangs Of The Molossus sono una Psych/Doom Metal band toscana formatasi nel 2011 e ,dopo diversi cambi di line-up, nel 2012 giungono ad una formazione stabile caratterizzata dalla presenza di tre chitarristi.
Debuttano con un CD omonimo che raccoglie cinque coinvolgenti brani, in due dei quali ( "I Drink Your Blood" e "Dead King Rise" ) vantano la prestigiosa partecipazione di Ain Soph Aour e JC Chaos , rispettivamente bassista/cantante e chitarrista della " cult " Black Metal Band italiana Necromass.
Il brano di apertura è la sabbatiana e ossianica "Caligula" dalle tinte squisitamente psichedeliche ( o esoteriche ) arricchita da assoli di chitarra che evocano i migliori Pentagram dei 70's ed il guitar style delle heavy/rock band americane di quegli anni.
La seconda song "Cult Of The Witch Goddess" denota un attitudine space/doom abilmente ispirata al sound dei Hawkwind, un vortice di sonorita che ipnotizzera' le vostre menti in un atmosfera macabra e oscura...
Segue l'energica "I Drink Your Blood" dominata da un cantato ruvido e tagliente che accompagna ritmi ossessivi da "true headbangers".
Dopo le sfuriate psych/Doom dei precedenti tre brani è il momento della song strumentale"O Fera Flagella"; nelle prime note puo apparire "soft" ma si conclude invece con un sinistro echeggiare di una voce che narra antiche e lugubri tradizioni cristiane esercitate per commemorare sanguinosamente la flagellazione di Cristo il giorno del Venerdi Santo.
Il Cd termina con la potente e minacciosa "Dead King Rise" che si apre con un intro dai toni lisergici e prosegue con un doom nebbioso e apocalittico e a tratti malinconico.
Nel sound di questo interessante esordio sono amalgamati l'oscurita dei Black Sabbath, la psichedelia e lo space/rock degli Hawkwind con l'energia del doom degli Electric Wizard e un lontano retrogusto dark/seventies che solo pochi gruppi come questo sanno unire intelligentemente a sonorita "moderne".
I Fangs Of The Molossus , con questo ottimo debutto , possono meritatamente imporsi tra le migliori band emergenti della scena Psych/Doom italiana.

SONATA SINISTRA - Marco Abbà introducing his one-man band "Sonata Sinistra"


SONATA SINISTRA  is an homemade one man project born in May 2010 with the goal to express in music my passion for 70's / 80's horror movies and doom metal, especially for that kind of essential doom that have as main reference the super-classics Sabbath's Master of Reality and the Saint Vitus' "Born Too Late", my two favorite albums of the genre. With the Sonata Sinistra i express my devotion to horror movies through narrative texts with very simple dark atmosphere, without giving too much importance to the message of the word and considering it as a compendium to the mood of the song.
Until now the songs uploaded on myspace and on the soundcloud page are more than anything else homemade demos, recorded by myself with guitar, bass, drum machines, synths, theremin, and vocals; i'm going to re-record them very soon in studio (finally being able to play the acoustic drum tracks) for the construction of an EP vinyl 12''.

Really thanks to all the people who follow my project "Sonata Sinistra" and especially "Italian Doom Metal" for his great support !!

In Doom !
Marco/Sonata Sinistra
