After leaving their previous progressive death metal band named Another Day, brothers Marco and Paolo Soellner formed Klimt 1918 back in 2000.
The pair decided to follow a new musical path and took influences ranging from the likes of Katatonia, Opeth, Novembre as well as bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears, to create an absolutely classic album. "Undressed Momento" is probably the best thing I have heard come from Italy for a while, it's interesting, moving, atmospheric and above all original.
With their elegant melodies and melancholy atmospherics, I think that Klimt 1918 is definitely a band that musical fans of all genres could listen to and enjoy. "Undressed Momento" isn't the heaviest thing I've heard, in fact it has a lot of 80's pop feel to it, which works well with the intricate guitar and the melodious vocal work from Marco Soellner. Great album from a truly unique band.
