Klimt 1918
Dopoguerra

Klimt 1918: a band from Rome with their second album. Afterwar: the title of their second album.
5: the score it deserves, and in truth, it might actually deserve even more.

I cannot hide a certain embarrassment in speaking to you about this curious work that our local Klimt 1918 have released on the market, a work that I hope, from now on, will get people talking. Dark, atmospheric rock unfolds in ten tracks, among which it is impossible to pick singles or cite any, as the cohesion of the work requires it to be listened to from start to finish without pause.
It is clear from the outset that I'm talking about a masterpiece, and even if I’m getting too enthusiastic, it doesn't detract from the stature of this album: one of those works that reveals its beauty listen after listen, repeatedly unveiling new layers, growing atmospheres and changing skins. Technique and melodic taste are not missing at all; the band has clear ideas and an extensive knowledge of various genres: 80s rock, Wave nuances, prog metal inserts, space and psychedelia enrich a mix that works right from the captivating intro.
Has the best album of 2005 already been released? Listen to it, let yourself be won over, they're Italian, but you wouldn't know until you hear "Sleepwalk in Rome," where alongside the customary English, you'll also hear verses sung in Italian. The idea of dealing with an international band is commonplace, but perfection is a prerogative of this album; they’re Italian, finally a noteworthy product to assimilate and hand down to posterity.

A dreamy work that makes you dream: it will be like standing before a nymph who, rising in flight and flapping her delicate wings, covers our face and eyes in purple, and we, spellbound, remain there watching her twirl until she completely disappears into one of the starriest skies ever... and, utterly bewitched, we will wonder "did I dream, or was it all true?".
Thank you, Klimt 1918.
