Dismal

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Italian Gothic Metal band. The jewel DISMAL was created back in June 1995, nearby Turin, when Bradac and Parsifal joined to the call of the Earth, gradually becoming one thing with it while cultivating in an inseparable way their art and spirit. The passion and the big efforts result in a new decadent artistic experience, deeply rooted in both medieval and classic music, which soon becomes the fruit of both the visions and the sensations of their sublimation.

BLOODCARGO

From a rough and frozen land we arose, with a will like rebels, a
common love for music and a stubbornness we needed to create our
significant tenacious and dirty non-compromise sludgerock. Imagine a
sound of steel, with two guitarists, with totally different expressions
but at the same time brothers in music. A rhythm section oozing of
fusion and madness, interspersed with vocals from heaven and hell!
