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. The album was recorded and mixed by Gabriele Ravaglia & Maxx Canali at the Fear Studio in Italy plus mastered by Alberto Cutolo at Massive Arts studios in Milan. For this album, the band enlisted Gustavo Sazes (MACHINE HEAD, ARCH ENEMY, ANGRA, ICED EARTH, GUS G., AMARANTHE, a.o.) to create the album artwork.

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.”

New Album “Headbanging Forever” Out May 10, 2019 via Rockshots Records


Leading up to the release of their seventh studio album “Headbanging Forever” via Rockshots Records on May 10th, 2019, Italian groove thrash metallers EXTREMA have unleashed another track off their new record.

Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2KUeBO6

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”.

You can listen to the song here: http://smarturl.it/HeadbangingForever
