Airfish
1993 Promo

The Airfish were one of the most promising bands of the first half of the Nineties: hailing from Palermo, they are a trio that (used to) craft industrial rock tracks, like "Into The Wild", above all, in this 1993 promo. A rhythmic foundation structured with drum machine and bass, enveloping and monolithic metal riffing, practically a kind of metal-core declined in an industrial sense, like a hybrid between Ministry of "K?F????T69" and Godflesh of "Pure".

It must be said that fortunately the group is still active, has become a quartet, according to the difficult-to-find information available online and even in person, and musically has incorporated more techno elements, in all its varieties, as always basing their "productions" on the Ballardian Crash concept between machines and sounds produced by instruments (Nine Inch Nails, Fear Factory) now softening and incorporating more pop elements, always in the path of a synth sound, more or less pure; the only and incredibly massive flaw: this gem of Italian Music, it is unclear if by imposed choice or by choice alone has never released anything, except for a few songs within mostly eclectic and celebratory compilations of a local scene. Incomprehensible eccentricity, or one of the most astonishing cases of major record label snobbery.

P.S.: It must be said that the review is forcibly lacking, critiques and additions are welcome.
