The Italian superband FORMALIST to release its debut in collaboration with Third I Rex, WOOAAARGH, and Toten Schwan Records!

Third I Rex, in collaboration with Wooaaargh (Germany) & Toten Schwan Records (Italy), proudly announce the signing of the Italian superband FORMALIST, due to release its first album in February 2018.

“The FORMALIST unit was founded in 2014 when long-time associated individuals from the Italian heavyweights FORGOTTEN TOMB [vocals], MALASANGRE [bass & drums] and VISCERA/// [guitars] joined forces with the aim to open new gates to total sonic horrors. Excelling in the art of low-tuned sickness, the band members managed to forge together their many influences and proceeded to write and record the first full-length album during summer 2016, featuring 3 songs for a nightmarish 40 minutes length where extreme Doom, Black Metal, Sludge and Ambient/Drone combined with a completely hostile, nihilistic approach to vocals and lyrics. The album will be finally released in the first months of 2018 and the band will soon manifest itself through selected stage appearances.”

It is pointless adding anything to the short biography above. Brace yourselves and get ready for one of the heaviest releases of 2018.

FORMALIST is:

Ferdinando Marchisio – Vocals

Michele Basso – Guitars

Nicola Casella – Bass

Riccardo Rossi – Drums & Electronics
