CREPUSCOLO was founded in 1995 in Macerata, a small town in central Italy, distant 30 km from the Adriatic Sea. This town has a rich and long history, dating back to antiquity.

Before this album the Italian trio released a lot of rehearsals, three EPs and one full-length album. The title of newest album “You Tomb” makes an allusion to the well-known Youtube.com portal.

The music is largely based on hardcore. The album’s production is raw, but correct, except the drums, which sound like knocking or they are too hidden in the background. The musicians are not virtuosos, but they play at a good level, none of them stands out. The guitarist enriches the music with interesting playing, melodies and solos. The bass is used extensively and often it gives show its playing. The vocalist primarily sings with a hardcore’s mannerism, grunting, but he can also use growling and screaming.

The base for Italians is sharp hardcore, but often combined with different types of metal music, death-metal as well as dark-trance climates. There also are moody and mysterious fragments. The song “Shock” refers to rap-metal, “Reflected Soul” is a metal, instrumental ballad, while in “Memento” you can hear Black Sabbath echoes.

CREPUSCOLO creates an aggressive message, but it is not extreme music. The Italians combine different types of playing in an interesting, graceful way. The songs are skillfully composed, varied, have many colors and shades. The trio from Macerata did not invent gunpowder, but yet they have its own individual countenance. Together, the musicians form a convincing, coherent whole. For me it is another successful album from Italy.
