NOTTURNA – Dentro me / Sliptrick Records, 2013 / CD / dark rock / Italy
Notturna became a band in 1987 thanks to the lead singer and guitarist Michele Rizzi. Since their first recordings and live performances the band has been appreciated and positively reviewed from local reporters. The band’s particular and somehow indefinable sound – written and interpreted in Italian – is usually identified as Italian dark rock. The style feels the effects of many different musical influences opportunely mixed, so as to create a very unusual sound, quite different from classic metal.
In those years Notturna’s multiple experiences, such as winning first regional and then national music competitions (that allowed them to play in major spaces like “Palatrussardi” or “Forum” in Milan), consented them to grow up artistically. As a result the band recorded “Un’altra luna”, the first mini-CD; unfortunately, marketing problems and misunderstandings between the band and the management came to light and produced negative effects on the demos distribution.
Their second CD, “Le Tue Ali” was published in November 2005. “Dentra me” came on 2013, and band members are nowadays finalising its fourth release.
Members of Notturna are: Giuseppe Mechi – bass ; Christian Hirsch – drums ; Michele Rizzi – lead guitar, vocals
Starting with its name, Notturna (night – in Italian language), band Notturna is determining music style they are applying (dark rock). Their music presented on “Dentro me” (inside of me) issue is full of various expressions. In order to achieve that, their music is complex. The music on album is not acceptable on the first listening – it asks for repeated play on. Their music will be on the best way understood by the fans that appreciate dark rock.
Technically, the band members are capable to give us full range of different sound pictures. Although they sing in Italian, their music sounds Italian. It is their destiny, but that might be just plus for their career. On that way, they avoided to replicate American / English role models playing similar music style.
Bend Notturna je nastao 1987. godine zahvaljujući pjevaču i gitaristi, Michele Rizziju. Počevši od njihovih prvih snimaka i live nastupa, bend je bio cijenjen i pozitivno predstavljen od strane lokalnih novinara. Jedinstveni i nedefinirani zvuk benda – sa tekstovima na talijanskom jeziku – obično je identificiran kao talijanski dark rock. U njihovom stilu sviranja osjećaju se učinci mnogih različitih muzičkih utjecaja, kako bi stvorili vrlo neobičan zvuk, sasvim drugačiji od klasičnog metala.
Tokom godina, Notturna je multiciplirala svoja iskustva, što je pomoglo osvajanju prvog regionalnog i državnim natjecanjima (koja im je dalo priliku da sviraju u velikim prostorima poput “Palatrussardi” ili “Forum” u Milanu), pomoglo im je odrasti i umjetnički. Kao rezultat toga, bend je snimio “Un’altra Luna”, svoj prvi (mini) CD. Nažalost, marketinški problemi i nesporazumi između benda i managementa izašli su na vidjelo, što je proizvelo negativne učinke na to demo izdanje i njegovu distribuciju.
Njihov drugi album, “Le Tue Ali”, publikovan je novembra 2005. “Dentra me” stigao je 2013, a članovi benda ovih dana finaliziraju svoje četvrto diskografsko izdanje.
Članovi benda Notturna su: Giuseppe Mechi – bass ; Christian Hirsch – bubnjevi ; Michele Rizzi – solo gitara, vokal
Počevši sa svojim imenom, Notturna (noć – na talijanskom), bend Notturna nam određuje svoj muzički stil (dark rock). Njihova muzika predstavljena na izdanju “Dentro me” (u meni) puna je raznih ekspresija. Da bi se to postiglo, njihova muzika je složena. Muzika na albumu nije prihvatljivo na prvo slušanje – ona traži ponovno puštanje u CD playeru. Njihova muzika će na najbolji način biti razumljiva fanovima koji znaju cijeniti dark rock.
Tehnički, članovi benda Notturna u stanju su dati nam cijeli niz različitih zvučnih slika. Iako pjevaju na talijanskom, njihova muzika i zvuči talijanski. To je njihova sudbina, ali to može biti samo plus za njihovu karijeru. Na taj način, oni izbjegavaju oponašati američke / engleske uzore koji sviraju sličan muzički stil.
