So, what do we have here? The sound on this EP has this
twisted combination of Thrash Metal mixed in with Alternative Rock and Hardcore
Punk rolled up into one. And let me just say that the three ingredients of the
genres, work well together and the Italian group, La Colpa, are one of the most
explosive yet exhilarating bands to come out of the Italian Rock scene of the
21st century. And while this is their debut EP, they have a long way
to go.
With five compositions and a cover of a blood-red background
featuring a dog getting ready to attack his tail, you know something adventurous
is about to happen the moment you put your headphones on for a loud and
roller-coaster ride you are about to embark on. The band considers Marco
Muscara on Lead Vocals, Salvatore Gabrieli on Guitar, Matteo Cogo on Bass, and
Luca Cometti on Drums. With a high voltage rumbling bolts coming out of the
walls, you have to understand how they really pull it off and would the crowd
go into a mosh pit with sweat all over them for an exciting moment in their
lives.
The fuzz harder bass lines, guitar riffs, and pummeling drum
work and vocals on the tracks that is the sound and concept of La Colpa’s
music, shows how they can go into various rocking movements to get you going.
The opening title track which starts off as a soundtrack to the El Mariachi
trilogy with a guitar riff, machine gun drum exercise, and metallic bass lines.
Not to mention Marco’s soft and shouting vocalization with a measure from
Matteo and Luca creating tension between their instruments that is like a
flaming fire getting ready to explode is electrifying!
La Dittatura Degli
Anestesisti (The Dictator of Anaesthetists) opens with Salvatore’s guitar
going into a haywire mode as Matteo and Luca go into some punk-like improve,
and then goes into an accelerating mode as it deals with what has gone wrong
with the world with war, violence, and the dictators taking over to prevent
Peace happening. It’s a strong political subject, but they nailed it to show
how disturbing and terrifying it is.
Il Nostro Passo (Our
Pitch) sounds like something straight out of The Offspring’s Ixnay on the
Hombre sessions, but with an attitude as it goes from soft guitar chords and
then goes into a powder keg to burst into stirring results. Piano Biblico Di Salvezza (Biblical Plan of
Salvation) is thrash punk like no other as they mixed in the Garage Rock
vibe in the midsection by paying homage to Count Five’s Psychotic Reaction
intro with a heavier reaction.
Then the closer, L’Impero
(The Empire) goes into chaotic mode. As the instruments go into town as
they sound like a speeding train to get into a full chugging sound for a
fast-driven finale that is ready for action to get you pumped up and not to
mention a thunderous Guitar roaring closer before Marco screams his vocals to
close it off with a bang. There are some amazing music to come out of Europe
whether its Rock, Punk, Metal, or Thrash, Mutuo
Perpetuo (Mortgage Perpetual) is a thrilling and explosive debut to come
out.
