The Profile

Massimo Volume are an Italian band formed in Bologna in 1991, known for Emidio “Mimì” Clementi’s spoken-word narratives over atmospheric, tension-driven rock. Reviews highlight their importance in Italian 1990s alternative music, a pause starting in 2002, and renewed activity from 2008 onward, with albums continuing into the 2010s.

From the provided interview review: formed in Bologna in 1991; debut LP “Stanze” released in 1993; released “Lungo I Bordi” via WEA; later worked with Mescal (releasing “Da Qui” and “Club Privè”); period of pause starting in 2002 lasting about six years; activity resumed around 2008; lineup names appearing across reviews/interview include Emidio Clementi (voice/bass), Egle Sommacal (guitar), Vittoria Burattini (drums), and later Stefano Pilia (guitar).

Across 18 DeBaser reviews, Massimo Volume are described as a key Italian alternative band: spoken-word narratives over tense, atmospheric guitars and tight drums. “Lungo i bordi” is repeatedly treated as a landmark/masterpiece; “Da qui” is often praised for maturity, while “Club Privé” divides strongly. Live reviews highlight the 2008 return and the interplay between Egle Sommacal and Stefano Pilia, with Vittoria Burattini driving the intensity. Later albums (“Cattive Abitudini”, “Aspettando i barbari”, “Il nuotatore”) are framed as evolving but faithful to a stark, disillusioned voice. Overall: rock as literature, catharsis, and nocturnal unease—either you love it or you hate it.
