La Quiete - "La Fine Non E La Fine" (CD)

The first reissue CD from La Quiete, one of the most important bands in the Italian screamo scene.

They are now captivating screamo fans all over the world, but their roots are in the 90's US radicalism, influenced by the emo violence of Orchid and other Ebullition bands. It is no wonder that they were invited by killie and heaven in her arms to tour Japan with Ampere. In their case, they were greatly influenced by the US rage, but they sought for a local answer and originality, and reached a new ground by suppressing the classical European sound and distortion, and by creating an edgy guitar ensemble and dramatic song structures. The tension is taut and emotional. The tension and emotional performance is excellent.

A beautiful chaotic hardcore world. A historical masterpiece that makes those who haven't heard it envy. They seem to have been following the recent skramz boom and have even reunited and are playing live.

In the later period, the songs are more refined and they have reached the borderline of isolation, but the frustration, desolation, and initial impulse of the early La Quiete are the best! European passion! European skramz!

イタリア激情シーン最重要バンドのひとつ、La Quieteの1st再発盤CD。
いまでは世界中の激情ファンを虜にしている彼らだがルーツは90年代のUS激情、それこそOrchid等Ebullition系のエモバイオレンスをモロに影響されていた。killieとheaven in her armsが招聘していた来日ツアーでAmpereと組んでいたのも頷ける。彼らの場合US激情の影響を大きく受けながらもローカルならでは答え、オリジナリティを模索し、欧州的なクラシカルな響きやサウンドのディストーションを押さえ、エッジの効いたギターアンサンブルとドラマチックな曲構成を組み立てることによって新しい境地に到達したのだと思う。張り詰めた緊張感とエモーショナルな演奏が素晴らしい。美しいカオティックハードコアの世界。未聴の人が羨ましいほどの歴史的名作。近年のskramzブームの追い風を受けて再結成もしてライブしている模様です。
後期ではより楽曲は洗練され孤高の境地へ到達したが、初期La Quieteの焦燥感、寂寥感、そして初期衝動の塊は最高!欧州激情!
