Desaparecido

Acting as the first installment of their 'Trilogy of Power,' this debut full-length stands as a seminal monument of Italian new wave. 'Desaparecido' blends the atmospheric chill of European gothic rock with intricate Mediterranean acoustic flourishes and Piero Pelù's highly theatrical, impassioned vocal performances. The record proved that the dark, introspective energy of post-punk could be effectively adapted into a distinctly Southern European musical context.
