With well over 1,000 shows played since its formation in 2000, and a slew of recordings released, OvO is a singular force in the underground. Taking inspiration from the likes of Suicide, Swans, and Diamanda Galas, Pedretti and Dorella pound out a mix of what Stereogum has described as "music – rhythmic noise, really – owing equal debts to extreme metal, noise rock, industrial music, and dark electronica." Decibel Magazine has hailed the band's sound as “a David Lynch dance party.”
Described by OvO's Stefania Pedretti and Bruno Dorella as "a manifesto of transformation," Gemma marks the eccentric and mercurial duo's 25th year in action. It will be released October 3rd via Artoffact Records. Recorded in the wake of vocalist Pedretti's successful battles with cancer and encephalitis, the album is a masterpiece of dance-doom. The electronic and analog realms intertwine in music that exudes inhuman coldness and smoldering passion, simultaneously. Stark beats, primitive synths, sludgy guitars, and Pedretti's otherworldly vocalizations combine. Dorella states: "Our previous albums were mostly focused on the dark side... But after Stefania being on the edge of death in the last few years, we felt like focusing on birth, rebirth, nature."
Premiering the new single today, CVLT Nation reports: "It’s hard to describe OvO's sound, because they interweave so many genres seamlessly to create something that makes me feel like I’ve fallen into an abyss and landed in an earth witch’s lair. Whether it’s the thudding, buzzsaw sound of '90s industrial, or the scathing vocals, or the almost playful EBM beats and melodies that make me want to dance, these two musicians bring a weight of experience and talent to every track they record."
