Nihilists. The - Oroboro (2025)

 

The debut album from this band from Italy.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band is totally new to me and they are new to me. The band comes from Modena, the home of the Ferrari cars and their Formula 1 team. Lamborghini, another sports car brand, also comes from this town in the northern part of Italy.

The music on this sixty-six minutes long album is indisputably RPI... but with a twist, as their take on RPI is not exactly run-of-the-mill and does not follow the formula. 

The music is a blend of RPI and eclectic psych rock. Mostly RPI it has to be said. There are also some avant-garde RPI influences here.

The songs are very eclectic and complex at times. This is not easy listening music. Neither is the music at times comfortable. 

The male and female vocals are in Italian. There are also some spoken words here too.

The art-work alludes to this being a dark music album. Well, that is not true. The music is slightly twisted and sinister but most of it has a good ambience. 

The result is a good debut album, showcasing a band with a great deal of promise. I hope we hear a lot more from them in the future.
