Linea 77 is an Italian nu-metal / crossover band from Turin, formed in the early 1990s, known for mixing hardcore, nu-metal and later electronic elements. They released albums on Earache and worked with producers such as Toby Wright and Dave Dominguez.

Turin-based band; signed early to Earache; producers mentioned in reviews include Toby Wright and Dave Dominguez; collaboration with Tiziano Ferro on "Sogni Risplendono"; lineup cited in reviews (Emo, Nitto, Chinaski, Dade, Tozzo); toured/associated references include acts like Lost Prophets (mentioned in reviews).

DeBaser reviews track Linea 77's progression from hardcore/nu-metal beginnings to more commercial and electronic experiments. Early albums like Ketchup Suicide receive praise for energy and songwriting; mid-period releases (Available For Propaganda, 10) get generally positive notes for production and choruses. Horror Vacui divides opinion, especially over production choices and the Tiziano Ferro collaboration. Reviewers consistently praise the rhythm section and live potency.

For:Fans of nu-metal, hardcore/crossover, Italian rock listeners and those curious about Italian-language metal

 Indeed, "trivial" is the first word that comes to mind when listening to "Horror vacui," all songs are the same and boring, even more flattened by a production almost like that of an Italian pop album that greatly detracts from the tracks, diminishing all their grit.

 The Linea 77 return with a bang, finally landing on a major label after their tumultuous past with Earache (a label dedicated to sounds very different from what our band had been proposing in their previous albums "Numb" and "Available for propaganda") and more determined than ever to gather followers even within national borders, after having made themselves known at the dawn of their career mostly abroad.

 The album is full of energy and the lyrics of the songs (especially those in Italian) are very poetic and full of meaning.
