Legendary Italian parody metallers NANOWAR OF STEEL have revealed their new lyric video, “La Marcia Su Piazza Grande“, taken from their latest album, Italian Folk Metal, out now via Napalm Records. “La Marcia Su Piazza Grande” is a hymn to Giancarlo Magalli, a popular Italian TV host, celebrating his political leadership and power – all through NANOWAR OF STEEL’s satirical lens, of course!
NANOWAR OF STEEL on “La Marcia Su Piazza Grande”: “A hundred years after the unfortunate government takeover by Mussolini, we wish that a new, benign and enlightened leader may now rise to power and become Italy’s only king and master: Giancarlo Magalli. This is an anthem we wrote to celebrate his magnificence and power!”
Parody metal powerhouse NANOWAR OF STEEL turns to the musical roots of their homeland, bringing heavy new life to traditional Italian music on their new album Italian Folk Metal! Filled with references to Italian folklore, NANOWAR OF STEEL puts its own comedic metal twist on the various traditional sounds of their beautiful country. Each song on Italian Folk Metal is performed in a distinct style of Italian folk music: Napoli-based sounds of musica neomelodica clash with melodic guitar sweeps on “Scugnizzi of the Land of Fires” and speedy accordions (prominently known from northern Italy’s mazurka) are layered with dizzying guitar solos on “La Mazurka del Vecchio che Guarda i Cantieri”. Mixed with the band’s eclectic, comprehensive brand of catchy, comedy-infused metal, Italian Folk Metal is a truly multi-faceted listening experience and a deep dive into the roots of Italy’s folklore!
