Stefano Moro (also go here) (Ita): Videoclip of "Cieli Neri", Bluvertigo (Ita) from "Metallo non Metallo" (1997)
We are prisoners of our destiny: we do not have the power to choose. Things just happen, and all we can do is face them with our heads held high or passively endure the consequences: whether the end is happy or bitter.
When things flow, it is not possible to stop them: we could linger on the outskirts of the hurricane, perhaps, but is it worth dying of inaction?
Dissolving fear and diving headfirst is not simple acceptance: forgetting, for a moment, our peaceful lives and challenging unfair monsters is not just madness.
Fate is terrible before us. We already know that sunny days do not await us, but rather gray and painful twilights: we are aware of this, yet we proudly climb those predator-filled paths. But if you think for a moment that this is resignation, you are greatly mistaken. The storm has erupted, and we are out there, dancing inside it, until the end, forever.
The video was shot in Stop motion inspired by the ancient art of Bunraku.
The most courageous and intelligent album ever made in Italy.
If all this had been done by an English or American group, the press would have, as usual, shouted a miracle.
Perhaps, at first listen (or at first glance), this band may seem ridiculous and pretentious, but I urge a more careful examination.
Metallo Non Metallo deserves a 4.5.
