“ This case illustrates the complexity of diagnosis in a person with a first presentation of psychotic symptoms” born: autumn 2001 – Novara/Piedmont/Italy gender: three-penis entity occupation: creating notes, noise, anti-rhythm From the birth to August 2002, Psychofagist has been a client of its community mental health centre receiving treatment for post-adolescence malaise... In the beginning of 2003, the japanese neurological centre Amputated Vein Records noticed the case and decided to follow it out at the same time of a Belgian criminal asylum patient. After years of identity crisis, the Fiamma+Cello+Ste-composed line-up allowed to stomp the cold halls of italian and european mental hospitals. Denoted improvement in relationship (Natron, Ephel Duath, Misery Index, Mastic Scum, Cripple Bastards, Cataract, Aborted, OvO, CBT, DAMO SUZUKI). Spring 2004 – a new lunatic asylum noticed Psychofagist, this time in Trento-Italy: Subordinate Productions granted the privilege of its assistance. Psychofagist has had at least forty hospitalisations over the last four years with what sounds like an exacerbation of his schizophrenia. In Spring 2007 Fiamma was discharged home from the liaison psychiatric service. At the end of the summer, a new malformed neurovegetative mass appeared: El Ducaconte joined Psychofagist. Three new cerebral disablements appeared in the latest Split CD with OvO and Inferno, now available through BarLaMuerte/ShoveRecs/DonnaBavosaRecs. Late 2007 – Reflections of Psychofagist’s quadruple personality disorder materialize via the Luca T. Mai breathing apparatus. This pure form of psychoplasmia is currently inducing excruciating high-tunes and alien resonances. Presently, Psychofagist is engaged with the yelling out of new degenerative opuses. Current medication, duration of treatment, efficacy and side effects should be documented...

Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! Dopo l’uscita del secondo album Erasing the Remembrance ed il successivo tour europeo ed alcuni festival, annunciamo con molto dispiacere la decisione di Valerio di lasciare la band. Molestius preferisce continuare concentrandosi su altri progetti e sulla propria vita privata. Gli auguriamo tutto il bene possibile, perché nel corso del tempo è stato parte integrante dei DOOMRAISER, un fratello e un grande chitarrista. Che ha contribuito a rendere questa realtà ciò che è oggi.
Tuttavia, per una porta che si chiude, ce n’è un’altra che si apre. È con grande piacere che annunciamo l’entrata nella band di Willer. Da sempre sesto uomo della band, già conosciuto per la precedente esperienza nei Grimness e per il progetto Black Land che porta avanti da anni. Le prove con lui ci hanno meravigliato ed il feeling nel gruppo è scattato subito. Il suo talento alla chitarra contribuirà a dare una nuova dimensione, ancora più oscura e acida, al suono degli heavy drunken doomster.
La prima esibizione con Willer è fissata per il 21 novembre al Sinister Noise Club di Roma: occasione speciale perché festeggeremo il compleanno di uno dei locali più importanti della scena rock underground italiana e estera.
Stay tuned… and slower, harder, drunker!
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral
