Sesta Marconi is a Doom band born in 1999 in the South of Italy but currently settled in Rome, where the four members live and create their music. In 2003 the band self-produced a promo titled “Black Soul Star”, containing two tracks inspired by 70's rock-prog and Doom metal. In 2004 Sesta Marconi performed several shows, but then faced a long stop when the band entire moved to Rome and had to solve lots of logistical problems. Passed this turning point, Sesta Marconi started to work to new songs with a new strenght that allowed the creation of lots of Doom-scarred pieces enriched by lyrics often exploring social themes in the form of grotesque and freaky tales. In March 2008 a chosen part of this new musical material went to constitute “RITUAL KAMASUTRA KITSCH”: that's a 30 minutes cd, in wich the band wanted to crystallize 4 songs summing up the exploration trough vices, beauty, contradictions, purity and grime of the world, in the way the band personally feels. “Retrogradio” is a ironic-audio-collage introduction to this world, simbolyzed by the strange reality behind the door pointed by the Old Man on the cover.
