Search - Extrema :: Headbanging Forever

Long-running Italian groove thrash metallers EXTREMA are going to release their seventh studio album, Headbanging Forever, on May 10, 2019 via Rockshots Records. EXTREMA's original line-up was established in 1985 when the band recorded the first EP We Fucking Care and, within a single year, opened for Slayer on the Italian leg of the Reign In Blood tour. Hundreds of concerts and several releases 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. 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. A record combining innovation and tradition with the experience and passion of a band that has always set its own course in the heavy metal world. In 2019, EXTREMA's Headbanging Forever does not want to be a trivial manifesto of bad intentions, but rather represents the only possible way to understand and play their amazing music.
