Vanadium

Hailing from Milan, the five-piece Vanadium were one of Italy's first successful heavy metal bands, releasing a string of quite popular LPs throughout the early '80s before being outpaced by a quickly evolving national scene as the decade wore on. In fact, the second half of their career saw a creatively weakened Vanadium rudely subjected to both ridicule and scorn by the next generation of Italian heavy metal bands, most of whom failed to realize the older band's hokey stage banter and...

Dj Mad Dog

Filippo Calcagni aka Dj Mad Dog started his DJ career just as joke. In 1995 after 3 years of hard work with the tecnichs, he met two friends (an M.C. and a DJ) with whom he formed a team: HARDCORE TERRORISTS. With this team Filippo has a lot of success especially in his city Rome.

A classic education

A Classic Education Amongst four blazing nights between Xmas 2006 and the year of 2007, A Classic Education recorded 3 songs in the middle of the mountains of centre-north Italy. Jonathan Clancy, Paul Pieretto & Luca Mazzieri played a myriad of instruments, adding layers over layers, to create a dense orchestral ecstatic liberation of their souls. Most off all this was done at night, wind blowing and dogs outside barking away. For one short moment "The Blazing World" is what glued everything together...a second later it was just A Classic Education.
