KLIMT 1918

Almost as amazing simply because their decision to look at a moniker — KLIMT 1918 — composed of the final name and expiration date of noted Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, may be the fact that Italian quartet focusing on modern fresh wave and gothic rock and roll with progressive tendencies started in a ’90s death metal band known as A LATER DATE. But so will go the uncommon biography of Italian brothers Marco (vocals/guitars) and Paolo Soellner (drums) before the founding of KLIMT 1918 in Oct 1999 — of which time in addition they began tinkering with those mellower noises via the pompously called first demonstration “Secession Makes Post Contemporary Music.” The appearance of second guitarist Alessandro Speed and bassist Davide Pesola in 2002 brought added balance to the music group but didn’t considerably affect their audio before the launch of the full-length debut, Undressed Momento, a yr later on. But KLIMT 1918 continued, growing their sonic palette making use of their 2005 follow-up Dopoguerra, which noticed them shifting ever further from metallic and embracing fresh noises such as for example darkwave and ’80s fresh wave.
