NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – November 10, 2021

Rockshots Records – EXTREMA Announces “Headbanging Party UK Tour 2021” w/ DIE KUR, THE HERETIC ORDER

Italian metal titans EXTREMA have scheduled a 5-date UK tour of England during the last week of November (details below).

Extrema guitarist and founding member Tommy Massara said, “After a long inactive period forced upon us by Mr Covid, we thought it would be a great idea to connect with Metal fans, and what better way to do that than some intimate club venues!”

From its humble beginning in Milan back in the mid-1980s, the band has since then toured and shared the stage with the like of Metallica, Motörhead, Death Angel, Korn, Megadeth, and Slayer. Extrema fuse Bay Area Thrash sonorities with Motörhead-like undiluted power.

DIE KUR is based in London and through the course of 5 studio albums, they have built a reputation as a point of reference in Industrial Metal. The band’s music is unpredictable, dark, intense, and heavy as fuck.

THE HERETIC ORDER describes themselves as a ‘Classic Metal band for the modern age’. The band’s live shows are infamous for their horror-themed imagery. Imagine King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Sabaton and Black Sabbath converging on the same stage…..that’s roughly what you should expect from The Heretic Order. Check out “Evil Rising” – the most recent full-length from The Heretic Order, released by Massacre Records in 2018.

With such a powerful and exceptional bill, Headbanging Party UK Tour is going to be unmissable!

Dates:
24th November  – ‘The Musician’ (Leicester)
25th November  – ‘Doctor Browns’ (Middlesbrough)
26th November  – ‘The Fenton (Leeds)
27th November  –  ‘The Giffard Arms’ (Wolverhampton)
28th November – ‘Electrowerkz’ (London)

Advance tickets from www.seetickets.com for all dates except ‘Doctor Browns’, which is a free entry event.

Rockshots Records: EXTREMA Release Cover Video of Judas Priest’s “The Ripper” via MetalInsider

Donating Proceeds To Italian Covid-19 Relief

Album “Headbanging Forever” Out Now! via Rockshots Records


During their studio sessions for their latest album “Headbanging Forever”, Italian groove thrash metallers EXTREMA recorded a cover version of Judas Priest’s “The Ripper”.

Today, the band is sharing its video for that cover with its premiere via MetalInsider.net HERE. 

Adding to the cover track’s release, with their home country of Italy hit hard by the Covid 19 pandemic, EXTREMA will be donating all profits from downloads and streams to the Italian Civil Protection, who are the frontlines in the battle against this virus, coordinating the nation’s pandemic response with Italy’s Ministry of Health.

Digital download available on Apple Music.

Mastermind and guitar player Tommy Massara comments:

“Our cover of ‘The Ripper’ was originally conceived as a bonus track of ‘Headbanging Forever’ for the Japanese market. As we did not find the sought license in Japan, the song was closed in a drawer. To me, Coronavirus is like Jack the Knife hitting you from behind, so I felt the need to release the song as a digital single. All the royalty’s proceeds will be donated to the Italian Civil Protection. I discussed it with Gabri, Frullo, and Tiziano, and they accepted enthusiastically. I hope you enjoy our version of this timeless Judas Priest’s classic hit”.

EXTREMA’s singer Tiziano “Titian” Spigno adds:

“This emergency, which arrived in the midst of our Italian tour, caught everyone unprepared. During these times music, books, movies, and art in general, although so badly affected, in many cases are a refuge for those people isolated at home, managing to get a few moments of serenity. Extrema want to contribute with this cover, recorded during the recording session of ‘Headbanging Forever’”.

EXTREMA tour dates have been rescheduled as follows:

September 2020
12 Bolzano  IT – Pippostage
26 Roma IT – Defrag
27 Milano IT – Milano Headbanging Fest @ Magazzini Generali

November 2020
07 Mantova IT – ArciTom

EXTREMA‘s latest album “Headbanging Forever” is available as CD Digipack Deluxe and Vinyl Gatefold Limited Coloured Edition with a signed poster. Order it here.

Bio:

EXTREMA’s original line-up was established between 1985 and 1986 in Milan, Italy. In a very short time, the band led by guitars player Tommy Massara achieved a huge success. Tommy is the only remaining member of the original line-up, and over the years he also played the role of artistic and executive producer.

Hundreds of concerts made the band more and more close-knit and open towards a constant growth path, capable from the beginning of welcoming influences external to heavy metal, a consistent choice within an evolutionary framework which saw EXTREMA start from the rebellious attitude of MOTÖRHEAD to later incorporate the style of Californian thrash metal, a scene with which the band shared the utmost care for the technical side of music and a devastating presence on stage.

The band’s reputation as musicians and performers kept growing in a perpetual live context, with extensive tours and the participation to prestigious festivals with the likes of METALLICA, SLAYER, MOTÖRHEAD, and KORN, a.o.

Extraneous from the beginning to political and ideological implications of any kind, EXTREMA’s lyrics have always strived to alternate challenging and contemporary themes with lighter subjects, true to rock’n’roll form.

In May 2017 the band welcomed the new frontman Tiziano Spigno. Thanks to his entry, EXTREMA can finally release all the creativity repressed in recent years: a violent, direct and engaging approach which is – at the same time – also varied, courageous and experimental, resulting in the new album “Headbanging Forever”.

EXTREMA is:
Tiziano “Titian” Spigno – Vocals
Tommy Massara – Guitars
Gabri Giovanna – Bass
Francesco “Frullo” Larosa – Drums

EXTREMA Unleash New Music Video For Title Track Off New Album “Headbanging Forever”

“Headbanging Forever” Out Now! via Rockshots Records


Italian groove thrash metallers EXTREMA are sharing their new music video for the title track off their seventh studio album “Headbanging Forever” released this past May via Rockshots Records.

The video is a collage of clubs shows and festivals that the quartet performed this year. The band is now working on a tour of Europe to be announced at later date.

Guitarist Tommy Massara states:

“‘Headbanging Forever’ I don’t know a better way to explain what the path of this band has been over our long career, we have never reached the international greatness, but the attitude, the energy and the will to keep on doing honest metal is still all here. The words of the song catch exactly the essence of what metal it should be for us. The video – edited by our singer, Tiziano ‘Titian’ Spigno, and filmed by some of our crew members Steve Travaini, Kalo Mazzarisi and Emanuela Giurano, to name few – is a collage of some of the latest shows played from the band over the last year. No special effects, just a metal band on stage at its finest”.

Featuring 10 crushing tracks produced by EXTREMA guitarist Tommy Massara & Gabriele Ravaglia.

Tommy Massara comments:

“It’s a 100% Metal Album that leaves the listeners breathless. The songs are well balanced, there’s a lot of double bass, tempo changes and screaming lead guitar solos like in the old days. The songwriting of the album reminds me of something classic with modern production.”

EXTREMA’s frontman Tiziano Spigno comments:

“The lyrics are inspired by H.P. Lovercraft’s prose poem ‘Nyarlathotep’. The poem itself is a bleak view of human civilization in decline: Nyarlathotep is a tall and swarthy man, whom wanders the Earth, demonstrating his magical powers. In every city he gets, he brings terror and destruction, announcing the world’s collapse”.

Recently the band also released their music video for the first single ‘For The Loved And The Lost’. Watch it now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GlKb41YW5I8

The video was directed and edited by Daniele Farina, who has directed three other EXTREMA videos. The choreography was filmed in Orlando, Florida and the dancers represent “Las Catrinas de los dias de los muertos”.
