In three weeks, on May 10th, 2019, Italian groove thrash metallers EXTREMAwill release their seventh studio album “Headbanging Forever” via Rockshots Records! Today the band has unleashed another track off their new record. Check out the breakneck-paced track ‘Pitch Black Eyes’ over on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zN-r_YPshs4
Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2KUeBO6
EXTREMA’s frontman Tiziano Spigno states: “The lyrics are inspired by Lovercraft’s prose poem ‘Nyarlathotep’. The poem itself is a bleak view of human civilization in decline: Nyarlathotep is a tall and swarthy man, whom wanders the Earth, demonstrating his magical powers. In every city he gets, he brings terror and destruction, announcing the world’s collapse”.
The album “Headbanging Forever” will be available as CD Digipack Deluxe and Vinyl Gatefold Limited Coloured Edition with signed poster. Pre-order it now here: http://bit.ly/EXTREMA_Store
Recently the band released the video for the first single ‘For The Loved And The Lost’. Watch it now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GlKb41YW5I8
The video has been directed and edited by Daniele Farina, who already directed other three EXTREMA videoclips. The choreography has been filmed in Orlando, Florida and the dancers represent “Las Catrinas de los dias de los muertos”.

EXTREMA’s original line-up was established between 1985 and 1986 in Milan, Italy. In a very short time, the band led by guitars player Tommy Massara achieved a huge success. Tommy is the only remaining member of the original line-up, and over the years he also played the role of artistic and executive producer.
Hundreds of concerts 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.
Extraneous from the beginning to political and ideological implications of any kind, EXTREMA’s lyrics have always strived to alternate challenging and contemporary themes with lighter subjects, true to rock’n’roll form.
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”.
EXTREMA is:
Tiziano “Titian” Spigno – Vocals
Tommy Massara – Guitars

Francesco “Frullo” Larosa – Drums
