 The chemistry between these musicians led to remarkable results: the sounds were characterized by a very dark-ambient that brought to mind the more experimental Lustmord and Cranioclast.

 The musician from Livorno has become a sort of shaman, seeking, through a sound based on distorted guitars, concrete noises, and electronic programming, almost a sacred dimension.
