Bachi da pietra

The Profile

Bachi da Pietra are an Italian duo centered on Giovanni (Giambeppe) Succi (vocals/guitar) and Bruno Dorella (drums), described in reviews as a minimalist, heavy, dirty-sounding project often framed as deconstructed/post-blues with noise and rock intensity.

From the reviews: the core lineup is Succi (vocals/guitar) and Dorella (drums). Early releases include the debut album “Tornare nella terra” (2005) and “Non Io” (2007). They toured around the time of “Tarlo Terzo” (their third album). “Quintale” is referred to as their fifth album and associated with producer Giulio Ragno Favero and label La Tempesta in one review. Later works include “Reset” (described as 2021) and “Accetta e continua” (described as their eighth LP, with Garrincha Dischi/Sony Music), featuring electronic nuances via Marcello Batelli (synth/bass) in the review text.

Across these reviews Bachi da Pietra are portrayed as an Italian rock duo built on Succi’s hoarse declamation and Dorella’s muscular drumming, often delivering dirty, minimal, blues/noise-driven songs. Live reports stress how huge they can sound as a two-piece, with dark, “tribal” momentum and intense atmosphere. The discography is described as evolving from primitive/post-blues roots to heavier, noisier turns (e.g., Quintale) and later works with electronic touches (Accetta e continua). Several reviewers single out Non Io and specific tracks (e.g., “Casa di Legno”) as peaks.
