Italy Strikes Back!
Doomed & Stoned Compilation Series
The latest installment in our quarterly compilation series is here! ‘Italy Strikes Back!’ (2016) was inspired by the flurry of activity in the doom-stoner heavy underground we’ve been witnessing over the past two years (see our story here). Thanks to our Italian contributor Mari Knox Knox for heading this one up. Here’s what she has to say about the new project:
Doomed & Stoned focuses its quarterly compilation series on the Italian scene for the first time. Here are 26 tracks by 26 artists, selected among the best budding Italian bands that agreed to join the mix. Through this perfectly arranged playlist, ranging from heavy psych and stoner rock to doom and sludge metal, you will experience a journey into the most dark, lysergic, and sour sides of the Italian underground.
Special thanks go to all bands who contributed their tracks to this project and to the gifted artist Franca Vecchio, who designed a magnificent artwork just for the occasion, taking inspiration from the erotic horror Italian comics of the past.
