While Dave Curran's trademark mountain-heavy bass tone and gritty shrieks cement the trio's sonic attack past devastating levels, "The Sweet Smell of Unrest" is a rabble-rousing delivery from start to finish and explores different facets of the Baratro arsenal from uptempo hardcore assaults to nasty doomy breakdowns, all mixed up with their penchant for odd time signatures, ear-shattering riffs and thunderous grooves as shown in their recent "Fight The Parking Meter" video. Time to raise those fists high and make this chaotic world ours again...
“The Sweet Smell of Unrest” was fully recorded, mixed and mastered by the band. It will be released in LTD Dirty Red vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital on February 2nd through independent Italian label Improved Sequence Records.
Baratro was born when guitarist Federico Bonuccelli (Council of Rats) and bassist Dave Curran (Unsane) met at a show in legendary Milan squat Cox18 and started to trade riffs and song ideas. These experiments led to the band's creation, with Luca Antonozzi (Marnero) joining in to complete the lineup. After a few months of practice and a couple of shows in Italy, they recorded their very first six songs in the empty concert hall of Cox18, consequently released as the “Terms and Conditions” EP via Sangue Dischi Records in July 2021. Given the worldwide shutdown of live performances through 2020/2021, the band focused on writing new music and eventually started tracking down eleven tracks for their first full-length effort “The Sweet Smell of Unrest”, to be released in the winter of 2024 through Improved Sequence Records.
