From Italy With Love…
Curated by Michele Giorgio

Italy was always able to leave a trace on the worldwide music scene, most of the times linking its peaks to a specific language/style: prog in the 70s, hardcore in the 80s, noise-rock in the 90s… Lately, it looks like Italian artists are able to embrace a richer and mixed texture, hitting different territories at once.

Even most influential international labels (from Southern Lord to Neurot, from Denovali to Riot Season, just to mention a few) were attracted by this new wave of Italian bands and signed them. Not to mention that many Italian labels demonstrated themselves able to play an important role on the worldwide scenario.

This is the main reason why, when asked to work on a Sonic Cathedrals episode, I decided to work just with Italian bands and to offer an almost complete and melted landscape, able to combine different languages: post-metal, hardcore, sludge, ambient, post-industrial, kraut, crust, noise, grind and so on.

I chose to pick up independent artists, people I met in person or saw onstage, moreover linked by a similar approach to music. While being born in the 80s hardcore and metal scene, I always enjoyed to taste different recipes and to be updated on new bands. To be honest, something quite easy for someone involved since decades in labels, media and shows like me.

That’s why I feel like this is quite an indepth/interesting window on the new Italian scene and what’s going on down here nowadays, also reuniting people active in supporting each other, often sharing same labels, side-projects and stages.

I guess there’s not much to be added, just try this sonic journey and enjoy its many flavours, as I tried to add a shape to balance different styles into a whole. You won’t regret the time spent and, maybe, you could find some exciting new band to follow from here on.

A HUGE thanks to Fabrizio and Adam for their neverending support and to all the musicians, who accepted to partecipate and supported my idea. Someone once said: Italians do it better!
