Glacial Fear

Deviante creatura metallica nata nel 1993 in Calabria / Catanzaro, e qui cresciuta a colpi di sfuriate devastanti in sala prove, con sotto gli occhi dischi consumati dei Prong, Killing Joke, Voivod, Treponem Pal, Bay Area crew … Demo, ep 7”, ed un mcd su Nosferatu records lanciano la band nel “sottosuolo” che urla, poi i live in giro per l’ Italia (con Undertakers, Natron, Schizo ) ... arriva il full lenght “Frames” (1997 Nocturnal music) in un momento di crisi e di cambiamenti all’ interno della band … via gli orpelli e le keys lisergiche il nuovo corso è gia arrivato, ma il frutto si vedrà qualche anno dopo. “Fetish parade” (2000 Negatron rec.) è il grido, suoni carichi di rabbia hardcore e progressione metallica, niente freni! Ancora sudore live con Extrema, Arcadia, Infection Code, Mothercare, Browbeat … palchi sottosopra, nuova linfa, adrenalina, liriche di fuoco! Inverno 2003, raccoglimento spirituale (!!!) al Soundfarm studio, un nuovo ep in pista “Illmatic” (New LM Records), carico di odio contro il Sistema, sempre più opprimente ed alienante, un nuovo intricato rebus sulle trame sonore dei 4, ora più che mai in bilico tra fumante hc e metal dissonante e cerebrale ! Il discorso non cambia 4 anni dopo! Siamo al 2007 con un nuovo studio album “Filthy Planet” e nuova ispirazione, tanto odio pochi rabbiosi live in giro per l'italia! Stagediving a raffica! Nuovi brani in testa, ed un' idea malsana un doppio ep dal titolo “Equilibrium” part 1 & 2 ... il pirimo esce nel 2009 in vinile 12" completamente autoprodotto ... e siamo ai giorni nostri, “Equilibrium” pt.2 prende forma nell'estate 2013 ed è nuovamente metal inferno! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ENGLISH : Glacial fear came into being during December of 1992 as a trio of vocalist/bassist Andrea Rizzuto,guitarist Gianluca Molè and drummer Danilo Citriniti.. After some initial demo work the formation debuted with a self financed single “Secrets at the steam forest” in 1994. Subsequently Gianluka Anastasi , former member of Granma Monkey , took command of the drum whilst the oddly sobriqueted “deathead” enrolled as a keyboard player fot the “Atlasphere:the burning circle” mcd release. By the time during 1997 Glacial Fear had signed to Nocturnal music for the “Frames” album they had made the transition from straightforward death metal to a sort of cyberthrash with keys ! . Losing both Anastasi and deathead the band regrouped with the addition of singer Nicola Bavaro (Cruentus, Schizo) repute with S.p.l. drummer Enzo Rotondaro. For the “Fetish parade”(2000 Negatron rec) album pulled in the UNDERTAKERS vocalist Enrico Giannone to aid on guest vocals fot 2 tracks. The sound of this release is now more on a deathcore with weird influences… However , upon completion of the album , Rizzuto ended his eight years tenure with the band and duly opted out. One years after, 2001 a new bassist (Tato) joined the band, and two year after Peppe Pascale takes the place of Nicola Bavaro, just in time to record a new ep “Illmatic” the natural follow up of Fetish Parade, a 5 songs mcd released in February 2004 by italian label NeWLM records /Crotalo (www.crotalo.com) and still available !
