Spiritual Front: strong lyrics and passion!



Hello!
My favourite band is called Spiritual Front, an Italian band of neofolk formed in Rome (in underground scene), but they classified like “nihilist suicide pop” perhaps because their musical influences – groups like Death In June, Cabaret Voltaire, Sol Invictus, and others; music styles such as neofolk, new wave and dark wave, Italian avant-garde, indie pop and brit pop (specially The Smiths and Joy Division).
The band born in 2000 as solo project of Simone H. Salvatore (affectionately called Hellvis for his fans, because his personality is very attractive and mysterious, and he is handsome), but with the time joined others members to the band, currently are: Rossano Baldini (Piano and keyboards), Andrea Freda (drums), Giorgio Maria Condemi (electric guitar) and Amorosi (bass). There is Also a significant number of members who left the band, including: Piergiorgio Ambrosi (2006-2009: piano, keyboards and string arrangements), Steb Puri (2004-2006: Piano, keyboards and string arrangements) and Jack Puri (2004-2006: electric guitar). Simone is the frontman of the band and the most important song writer. Simone defines its music as “Nihilist catchy ballads for heartbreaker nihilist youth”, his sounds are very personal and particular, and this is a reason for these become my favourite band. And for their songs talk about love, sex, betrayal, spiritual journeys and other similar topics, in addiction the pagan lifestyle of neofolk.
Their disc is:
"Songs for the Will" (1999)
"Nihilist Cocktails for Calypso Inferno"(2001)
"Twin a Tin Tin Towers"(2002)
"Nihilist EP" (2003)
"No Kisses on the Mouth" (2003)
Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio & Spiritual Front
"Satyriasis: Somewhere Between Equilibrium and Nihilism" (2005)
Naevus & Spiritual Front
"Bedtime/Badtime" (2005)
"Armageddon Gigolò" (2006)

The last disc is my favourite because for their songs (specially “Love Thought Vaseline” and “My Kingdom for a Horse”) and music arrangements...

And a special data, I have to Simone Salvatori as a friend on Facebook.
