Who actually said that Italy is only the land of the sun and the Mediterranean flair? The Stompcrash 's new album is a sign against this prejudice, conjuring a masterpiece that is not only about the night and dark sounds, but also the feeling, the blurred boundaries and the bittersweet, melancholic world designs of a Poe, Lovecraft or Kafka. Since their debut album 'Requiem Rosa' from 2007, the Milanese have remained loyal and reinvent themselves with every new stroke. One may be reminded of times when The 69 Eyes, Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, and The Cruxshadows were undisputedly the throne of Gothic music. But The Stompcrash are justifiably accepted as new candidates for this position, because with their soulful mix of darkwave, post-punk and traditional goth-rock, they are drawn to the fans of dark sounds.
