Biography : Deadman (ITA)

Deadman was born in Turin in 1979.
But his true birth, the artistic and spiritual one, took place in 1995 when theater, literature and music began to resonate within him with progressive and exponential swings, becoming lifeblood.
The first immature attempts were made with the music, when he joined the Turin black metal band Adversam as a guitarist.
The experience lasted about two years during which Deadman came into contact with the dark black metal universe, and he began to develop its own compositional technique which draws without neither limits nor limitations from the secular history of music.
In 1997 he left Adversam to explore other musical fields, from psychedelic rock to grunge, from classical to jazz.
During this time of intense experimentation he also played the drums, the bass and sang.
This until 2000, when he started to devote himself totally to theater and literature and left the music for 8 years…
He culminated this long period of study, marked by mute melodies and absence of sound, with the publication of a book, a collection of stories entitled “From a street corner” (“Da un angolo di Strada” – The Wire Publisher), -and making a play for the Academy Filodrammatica of Milan, titled “Horror of an invented being.” (Orrore di un essere inventato).
In 2008 the Music returned. First it materialized as Obsend, a technical-death metal project of which he is founder and composer; then it went on until the most experimental and mystical side of Deadman found its ultimate place to be in the homonymous one-man-band.
“Spirito di pietra” (Spirit of stone) is simply the result of a constant process of emptying, a progressive loss of a condition beyond Man and his own dimension.
A powerful and ambience black metal, sometimes apocalyptic, purely experimental, with post-rock, industrial, and psychedelic finishing touches, generating Orwellian visions where melodies, stuffed with a continuous lifetime-long research, echoed and are accompanied by the mystique of the Shakespearean sonnets and Pound’s dizzy verses.
