Arditi

Tapping further into the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical ambiance, Arditi present their ever effective use of crushing orchestrations and evocative speeches. Spearheaded by H. Möller and M. Björkman, Arditi's first recordings came to light in 1997, inspired by the Italian Futurist Movement of the early 20th century.

Given both members' involvement in other projects (such as Puissance or Algaion), it was not until 2002 that the first Arditi output would come to be released - the limited edition 7" EP "Unity of Blood" (Svartvintras Productions, 2002) earned the project excellent criticism which served as motivation for the preparation of a few other efforts put out during the following years, among which their debut album, "Marching On To Victory" (Svartvintras Productions, 2003), the split CD "United in Blood" (Neuropa, 2004), shared with the Swedish Toroidh, and most recently "Spirit of Sacrifice" (Blooddawn, 2005) and "Standards of Triumph" (Equilibrium Music, 2006).

Boasting the unique personality of this Swedish combo, their music taps further into the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical ambiance that has become the band's trademark - ever effective in their use of crushing orchestrations and evocative speeches, Arditi hereby drags the listener around muddy trenches, and casting an hypnotizing veil over the turmoil of warfare-inspired Industrial soundscapes.
