The veteran Italian duo's raw and dramatic sound is a unique mix of primitive industrial, horror-movie ambience, and noise-rock punishment, led by the theatrically demonic vocals of Stefania Pedretti.

Counting Swans and Diamanda Galas as their biggest influences, Pedretti and co-conspirator Bruno Dorella have spent the past 16 years releasing albums on labels like Load Records (Lightning Bolt, Prurient), and performing across the globe with the likes of Godflesh and Thrones for a total of almost 1,000 shows to date.

"They play music – rhythmic noise, really – that simmers with a flat-affect malice, owing equal debts to extreme metal, noise rock, industrial music, and dark electronica. Lurching metal/noise collages topped with wordless shrieking... Feverish energy... A melodic heart that calls '80s slasher scores to mind."

–Stereogum

"Rhythmic, layered, sludgy noise... A David Lynch dance party."
–Decibel

"Dirgy ocean of pulsating noise... It's time to get your freak on."
–Cvlt Nation

"Punctuated by slamming, swampy drums, squalls of feedback and punchy guitar riffs, as well as Stefania Pedretti's no-holds-barred vocal."

–The Quietus

"OvO uses the lexicon of noise and metal obliquely, and Stefania's growl manifests an ancestral femininity that speaks of monsters and ghosts, not as a bogeyman fairytale, but as a manifestation of existent possibilities."
–Noisey Italia
