Trailer for LAETITIA MANTIS' forthcoming exhibition, sounds by FORESTA DI FERRO
"FORESTA DI FERRO's idea was born around 1995 but became a more serious project around 1999 featuring the actual line up consisting of Marco (WERTHAM, DPI, ecc), Richard (STRENGTH THROUGH JOY, OSTARA, KAPO, ecc) and John (KNIFELADDER, SPK, KRAANG, SHINING VRIL, ecc) plus contributions of friends like Francis Tami, Wendy Van Dusen, Jim Morton, Andrew King and others.
FORESTA DI FERRO stands for IRON FOREST and although inspired by the Edda and the Voluspa, it is a name which refers to an immense decaying industrial site nearby COMO city center where Marco lives.
The monicker intends to express various dualities as natural/metallic, wild/technologic, acoustic/electronic, progressive/traditional, past/future with all the fascination, interest and obsession we all have for these factors, all sparks of a wider confusing reality we feel somehow trapped in.
FDF is an open story-telling machine interested in creating sounds, texts and visuals linked to all these obsessions, basing most of them on history or first hand experiences in a world where lowlives and aristocrats share the same table...
Thieves, whores, soldiers, refugees, war criminals, cons, heroes, cowards, victims, sadists, story tellers, warriors, martyrs, gipsies, and so on are our main characters, most of them have been real, and reality is our main source yet we don't pretend to tell a truth or state a dogma.
Our range of sound is a mix of influences surely coming from our past/present experiences and collaborations, although we are trying to mix experimental/industrial parts with more acoustic/musical atmospheres yet it's not our interest to fit in a category, a movement or anything else.
We are working on a brand new release.
This is our updated discography:
NOVY SVET/FORESTA DI FERRO : BULLI E PUPE - DOUBLE 7"
FORESTA DI FERRO: COMBAT FOLK 7"
FORESTA DI FERRO: BURY ME STANDING CD
VARUNNA/FORESTA DI FERRO: MILLENNI 10"
