Contropotere mixed the blind, furious rage of classic Italian hardcore with more industrial/metal influences and dark, avant-garde atmospheres: almost like what Neurosis would later become, and anticipating the sounds and visions of labels like Neurot and Southern Lord. After years of over-the-top shows throughout Europe, with singer Lucia’s powerful and aggressive presence and a theatrical approach to the stage, alternated with frantic political activism in the extreme-left movements and the squat scene of their hometown, Naples, the Contropotere “collective” acquired a true cult status which shows no sign of disappearing, even after twenty years.
