Rotadefero

More than two decades ago a Roman metal/hardcore outfit named Concrete (5) began its course, which led the band - with just a handful of records yet through hundreds of shows in the whole European continent - to become one of the most important, seminal acts in the Italian punk/hardcore subculture; fast forward 22 years in the future, and you will find all of its members still involved in various musical and/or artistic projects, revealing a never soothed interest for sound and visive exploration. Rotadefero is the latest project by Cristiano D'Innocenti and Tommaso Garavini, and absolutely feels like a consequential evolution and a mutated abstraction of those soundscapes, emphasizing the experimental performative side and new found personal handicraft interests. Primitive and pounding percussions emerge from noise-laden atmospheres, buzzing grindstones and drills, leading to a climax of corrosive non-music experience: it's evocative and disturbing, physical and muscular.
