Ottone Pesante Doomood

Ottone Pesante (Heavy Brass in italian) is a unique and incredible band: trumpet, trombone and drums playing metal, making a huge step beyond the traditional idea of Extreme Metal, based on the classic sound of Bass and Guitar. The band formed in Faenza, Italy in 2015 and released 1 EP (Ottone Pesante 2015), 2 full lengths (Brassphemy set in stone 2016, Apocalips 2018), a split (Subsound records Split Series #8 2019) and a book of scores (Brassphemy set in score 2018). With more than 350 shows all over Europe through 18 countries in just 4 years, Ottone Pesante is currently destroying a lot of boundaries between Metal, Jazz, Brass and Avant-Garde genres. DoomooD is the third album and was composed in a palindrome manner, with a virtual mirror on the pentagram that overturn the composed sequences in two palindrome sides. The climax is the so-called reverse canon superimposed followed by the main voice coming down in a reverse motion, sometimes strict, sometimes changing rhythm or role from trumpet to trombone. Brass and drums are, as usual, the only sounding sources of the entire album, but to add a new dimension to their sound, the band invited two guest vocalists: Sara Bianchin from label mates Messa on the spellbinding single-track Tentacles, and long time friend Silvo Sassi from Abaton screaming his lungs on Serpentine Serpentone and Strombacea.
