Vestfalia's Peace

Italian dark-wave group formed in 1997. Members named in the review: Eugenio Auciello, Gianni Caldararo, Duccio Del Matto, Salvatore Pallotta. First full-length album 'Loneliness' released 2017 on Swiss Dark Nights; earlier self-produced demos from 1999–2005 are mentioned.

Demos: 'Sleeping After Dawn' (1999), 'Fun in a Word' (2000), 'The Peasant' (2004), 'Tra Mari, Pantani e Ponti Rotti...' (2005). Side project: La Pietra Lunare (Del Matto and Caldararo) with an album released in 2015 on Lichterklang and later re-released by SPQR. Sound influenced by late-80s post-punk, 4AD acts, and dream pop; no industrial/EBM elements noted.

The reviews praise Vestfalia's Peace's 2017 full-length 'Loneliness' as a mature, well-produced dark-wave album with melodic and ethereal touches. The group—formed in 1997 and rooted in Molise/Tuscany—retains stable membership and revisits late-80s post-punk and 4AD-flavored dream pop influences. Review highlights include songwriting, vocal arrangements, and select standout tracks.

For:Fans of dark-wave, late-80s post-punk/new wave, dream pop and Italian underground music.
