OvO + New Noise


OvO: Italian radicals' ninth album "Miasma" now streaming in full via New Noise

One day ahead of the official release of OvO's new album Miasma, the Italian band has teamed up with New Noise to premiere the album in its entirety. 

OvO's ninth full-length, Miasma is the Ravenna, Italy duo's first offering for its new label home, Artoffact Records.

Eleven tracks of crusty, sludgy, electronics-laced, antifascist noise-metal, Miasma lives up to its name, conjuring an all-consuming miasma of rhythmic annihilation, fronted by the bizarre incantations of vocalist Stefania Pedretti. 

The band has described its music as: "Our personal ode to positive rage... a challenge against the inflexibility of the society... a united fight for everybody’s freedom."

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2020 – with over 1,000 shows played, nine studio albums released, and a slew of splits and live recordings – OvO is a singular force in the underground. With a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments, founding members Stefania Pedretti and Bruno Dorella take influence from the likes of Swans and Diamanda Galas, pounding out a theatrical and harrowing mix of what Stereogum has described as "music – rhythmic noise, really – owing equal debts to extreme metal, noise rock, industrial music, and dark electronica."

Miasma features guest appearances by members of Årabrot, The Soft Moon, Gnučči, and more, and sees OvO continue down its path, mixing tribalism and futurism by way of radical cross-contaminations of sounds, rhythms, and genres.

OvO's fiercely independent ethos and grinding live schedule have earned the band a rep as "the Jucifer of Europe," with a worldwide fanbase expecting nothing but the most daring and innovative music. A European tour kicks off this month.
