‘ Infection Code follow their direction, unaware of having
chosen a very hard path covered with pointy prongs.
As a matter of fact the band wants to create a feeling
of discomfort, fear and confusion with an outrageous rock..
Their music is characterized by nervous convulsive jerks,
where the most rooted and violent movements
of the last 20 years’ rock experience are channeled.
(RUMORE – Ita)
‘….Sterile is a bomb loaded with the most
feral industrial core currently around, it shows
different elements from Napalm Death, Godflesh
and the early Fear Factory and Discharge, creating
a disturbing assault, distraught by electronic
effects and characterized by purposely livid,
void, rusty and essential sounds, far away
from any commercial aim…’
(ROCK HARD – Ita)
It's the fall of 1999 when five piedmont musicians decided to give life
to a different project. Different from what they were playing or have
played prior with other bands. Different from the majority of the music
setting at the time. Different as a concept.
Starting as a rough experimental project Infection Code became an out
and out band. From the very beginning their identity is very clear for
their music knows no boundaries, exploring genders ranging from the
brutality of death metal to grind along the claustrophobia of noise and
industrial coldness with a underground post-core ready to explode. '"We
were just having fun, it all begun as a game. We all met when we all
belonged with different bands and from the very beginning we knew we
had a lot in common. That's why we decided to do something together,
with no preconceived notions." says lead vocalist Gabriele.
In 2000 the five piece release the acclaimed EP 'H.I.V. 999' with four
songs revealing the band's cutting edge personality. Both Italian and
foreign critics describe Infection's sound as groundbreaking, although
complex and strenuous. "We off handedly wrote the songs of 'H.I.V.
999', we felt a creative compulsion that led us to the songs" adds
electronics/graphics bassist Enrico. After several live shows Infection
Code focused on their debut album "Life Continuity Point" released in
2001. On the album they carried on their courageous project becoming
one of the fore-fronting bands in the Italian scene. Comparing them to
the likes of Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah and Godflesh
to name a few but in reality it is apparent they do not deny such
influences for Infection Code stretches their extreme consequences to
their intricate concept of reconstructing music. "Creating this album
has not been painless, we had to face several problems inside our group
and several others after the release of the album. Anyway it's been an
important step in Infection Code's life because this is when we started
to work on "Sterile", explains drummer Ricky. Shortly after finishing
the full-length, two members departed ways leaving Infection Code to
persist forward. Finding the additional element as a replacement former
leader of post thrashers Arcadia, Demetrio Scopelliti enters the group
adding to the intensity of an already established act prompting the
band to record Aspasic. Land marking the group to higher achievements
upon recording of the song it was proof enough that this band is indeed
a force to be reckoned with. It is clear that Infection Code hates
stillness. The song represents a further evolution of the piedmont
group, and for this reason they decided to add it to the new album
"Sterile". The members are well aware of their achievements but at the
same time they know that their growing process is not over yet. They
keep on portraying the standardized individual evolution. All human
beings are trapped inside fixed patterns imposed on them by society.
This concept is expressed in their lyrics as well as the graphics.
In 2003 Infection Code are chosen to play a french tribute to Godflesh's
song Nails shortly thereafter the recording of the song Demetrios
departed ways in his replacement the band recruited guitarist Davide
who brought fresh ideas to the mix. 'It's great to belong to the
Infection family. I love their cutting edge sound, free from any gender
classification. ..Sterile.. is totally different from the group's
previous works. We managed to create something unique and I'm terribly
proud of it." Davide eagerly explained. From the underground post-core
sound, noted from the very early days of the band, is mixed with
electronic innovations and explodes now with a larger than life roar.
Producing the album in the Nadir Studios is Tommy Talamanca, from
Sadist, who can rightly be considered the fifth member of the group and
who succeeded in conveying the Infection Code's rage, pain and
misanthropy into music.
Sterile received good reviews in numerous European magazines and online
webzines boosting the band to newer levels of professionalism.
Performing in Italy along in Germany and Czech Republic the group
shared the stage as a supporting act with named artists Anthrax, Cult
of Luna, Barcode, Sadist and The Ocean.
Presently the band is in the process of writing new material for their
new album entitled INTIMACY. An album that opens a new sonic chapter
where experimental noise meets the sickness and the feelings of human
beings. Recording sessions start in January 2007 and the release date
is scheduled for an fall 2007 unleashing.
INTIMACY will be produced by BILLY ANDERSON famous engineer of such
masterpieces as NEUROSIS-Through Silver In Blood and MELVINS-Houdini at
Lowered Studios in San Francisco, California. Meantime the band signs a
worldwide deal with Beyond Productions with a distribution on Masterpiece Distribution.
INTIMACY will be out in October .Meantime the band signs a deal also with Nadir Rock an Italian booking to plane the next Italian tour that will starts in Autumn 2007.
