OTTONE PESANTE IS AN INSTRUMENTAL, EXPERIMENTAL TRIO WITH THE FOLLOWING LINEUP: TROMBONE, TRUMPET AND DRUMS.
FROM THEIR EARLY WORKS, THEY PRODUCED AN INIMITABLE AND HIGHLY ORIGINAL SOUND CHARACTERIZED BY THE EXTENSIVE AND INCREASING USE OF ELECTRONICS ON THE BRASS INSTRUMENTS AND EQUALLY RECOGNIZABLE DRUMMING WITH STRONG ROOTS IN BOTH GRINDCORE AND RHYTHMIC/TIMBRAL EXPLORATION. THE RESULT IS VARIED, RICH AND UNIQUE SOUND AIMED AT BREAKING MANY GENRE BOUNDARIES, ALLOWING THEM TO BE APPRECIATED BY FANS OF BRASS BANDS AND JAZZ, AS WELL AS IN THE EXPERIMENTAL, AVANT-GARDE SCENE AND EVEN AMONG METAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ROCK ENTHUSIASTS.
THIS HAS LED THEM TO AN INTENSE LIVE ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT EUROPE, INCLUDING PARTICIPATION IN IMPORTANT FESTIVALS SUCH AS FEKETE ZAJ HU (2021), BRUTAL ASSAULT CZ (2022) AND INFERNO NO (2023). THEY HAVE RELEASED 3 STUDIO ALBUMS, 2 EPS AND A SPLIT AND HAVE COLLABORATED WITH NOTABLE ARTISTS SUCH AS TRAVIS RYAN (CATTLE DECAPITATION), SARA BIANCHIN (MESSA) AND CALIBRO 35.
