Reunions are often attempts to scrape together money and to offer a repertoire that probably doesn’t even represent the current existential state of the musicians who 'once were'. A booklet as simple in graphics as it is in words, yet capable of letting us relive, through the eyes of former punk musicians from Turin, the story of one of the greatest Italian legends.

A truly heartfelt concert. Our guys, besides not being pretentious at all, are genuine institutions of Doom and Metal generally speaking. The peak is reached with the earth-shattering 'War Is Our Destiny,' because it’s a ridiculously great song and because, on this occasion, it’s played with enviable grit.
