Klimt1918 was formed by Marco (vocals/guitars) and Paolo (drums) Soellner
in October 1999. They were the only two members left of Another Day, a
band dedicated to progressive death metal sonorities. With this monicker
the band released, between the years 1994-1999, two demos ("Youth (the
castle of illusions) - 1996 and "Be Nothing but a bit of cold" - 1998) and
a mini-cd, "Fireworks Outside - Black Butterflies over the petals of the
sun" - 1997, unluckily never released.
In 2000 Klimt1918 started to work on new material, more focused on
different sonorities and suggestions. The musical influences can be
indicated with the Swedish and English Avantgarde Metal (Anathema, Opeth,
Edge of Sanity, Katatonia), the 80's Wave (The Cure, U2 - early years,
Police, Japan, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Smiths) and The Beatles (years
1967 - 1970).
In May 2000, at Giuseppe Orlando's Outer Sound Studios, Klimt1918
recorded "Secession makes post-modern music", first demo of the band,
feauturing other two new entries, Davide Pesola (bass) and Francesco
Tumbarello (guitars). "Secession makes post-modern music" was acclaimed
with great reviews by media and, after an important promotion, the band
signed a two albums deal with My Kingdom Music.
During the spring 2002 guitarist Francesco Tumbarello left the band due to
personal reasons. A new guitarist, Alessandro Pace, replaced him, so with
this line-up and after hard-working pre-production sessions, the band
entered again the Outer Sound Studios on July/September 2002 and under the
supervision of Giuseppe Orlando and Massimiliano Pagliuso (Novembre), they
recorded their debut album "Undressed Momento". |
