Operaja Criminale

Operaja Criminale is an Italian musical duo from Rome—described in the review as an "ideological musical laboratory"—formed by Matteo Scannicchio and Andrea Ruggiero; their debut album Roma, Guanti e Argento was produced by Giorgio Canali.

Reviewed on DeBaser in 2012; the review credits Matteo Scannicchio and Andrea Ruggiero as members and Giorgio Canali as the album's producer. The group is active in the Italian underground scene.

A single DeBaser review (2012) praises Operaja Criminale's debut Roma, Guanti e Argento for its freshness, melancholic atmosphere and departure from classic verse+chorus structures. The duo (Matteo Scannicchio and Andrea Ruggiero) are described as part of the Italian underground and the album is produced by Giorgio Canali. Standout tracks noted include "E.C.G.", "Grave" and "Milano"; a couple of tracks are seen as weaker but the review concludes the album is excellent overall.

For:Fans of Italian underground rock and listeners who enjoy melancholic, experimental rock with literate lyrics.
