BALLO DELLE CASTAGNE - VINYL SURPASSING ALL OTHER.. [VINYL]

Popis - SURPASSING ALL OTHER.. [VINYL]:
Il Ballo Delle Castagne is an Italian band that was formed in
2007 by two musicians coming from different backgrounds:
vocalist and lyricist Vinz, previously brainchild of a "low-fi
project" called Calle Della Morte and Marco Garegnani,
previously with a band called The Green Man. The line up was
completed by Diego Banchero (Malombra, Recondita Stirpe and
Egida Aurea) on bass and Jo Jo on drums. The name of the band
means 'The Chestnut's Ball' and it was inspired by a legend
involving Pope Alexander VI (1431-1503) and his luxurious
habits: the Chestnut's Ball was a kind of "Satanic Sabbath", where naked women used to dance in the light of candelabrums
picking chestnuts from the floor with their mouths. The music
of Il Ballo Delle Castagne is an interesting blend of hard
rock, progressive and new wave. Their sound is gothic and dark
and it could remind of bands like Antonius Rex or Il Biglietto
Per l'Inferno. Il Ballo Delle Castagne were formed in 2007 by
four musicians coming from different backgrounds. The music of
this band is an interesting blend of psychedelia, hard rock, progressive and new wave. Their eponymous debut album was
released in 2009 and in the same year they released a 10" vinyl
single featuring two covers, Biglietto per l'Inferno's
Ansia/Confessione and Franco Battiato's Paranoia. The
Kalachakra album was released in 2011 on the independent label
Hau Ruck S.P.Q.R. and distributed by Black Widow Records. It's
a concept album inspired by 'Wheel Of Time', a documentary film
about Tibet by Werner Herzog, 'Kalachakra'. The album is
dedicated to the Dalai Lama and to the struggles for the
liberation of Tibet. Their new album is released on BloodRock Records and distribuited again by Black Widow and its called
'Surpassing All Other Kings'. Inspired by the Babylonian hero
Gilgamesh, 'Surpassing All Other Kings' closes the Ballo Delle
Castagne trilogy that began with the 10" single called '108'
and the full length album 'Kalachakra'. In this third
instalment, the hero awakens after many centuries and rises
from his grave to find out what is left of mankind and what
destiny man has chosen for himself. A sci-fi story, a
psychedelic journey from Kraut to Space Rock, featuring special
guests Carmen Donofrio (ex-Argine) and the members of the band Egida Aurea.
