Giallo Tenebrarum LP
GIALLO’s Tenebrarum sounds like a black-gloved killer stalking through a haze of feedback and flashing lights. Hardcore stripped of warmth and rebuilt with tension—cold, mechanical, and sharp like a knife. Named after the cult Italian horror movie genre, this record plays exactly how it sounds: soaked in menace. An eerie intro done by none other than TERROR CELL UNIT creeps in, and by the time it’s over, you are immersed in a Mario Bava movie. The second track displays the band in full swing with its angst-ridden stompy hardcore, the kind that makes you vent out in hatred. The vibe here is not too distant from HOAX or any of the mysterious bands from Youth Attack’s roster. A love letter to horror aesthetics filtered through cold hardcore abrasion. Play it loud, preferably at night.
