Neroargento - Underworld

NeroArgento is a project created by multi-instrumentalist Alessio NeroArgento (songwriter, producer, programmer and remixer). NeroArgento’s music is a concrete mix of grunge rock, metal and electronic music enriched with orchestral nuances, acid, industrial and fx sounds. The first independent release, an half-Italian half-English sung demo compilation called “Self-Control Juice Manifesto”, began to catch some attentions since the release of the first single “Trust”. The first distribution partnership came on November 2010 with the famous electronic/D&B/rock label FiXT owned by Klayton of Celldweller. NeroArgento’s music slowly began to attract attention by appearing on video trailers and movies of the game “World of Warcraft” on YouTube, on the Warcraftmovies.com network and on the famed Machinima network, then followed few other appearance on independent gameplay Internet vids and on several official freestyle snowboard DVDs. The first videoclip of the song “Trust” got an unexpected success on Internet in few months, thousands of views from all around the world, followed by a second video of the song “Helpless” that helped NeroArgento’s music to get spread through many supporters from everywhere, which, with their voices, have become soon an important part of its growth. Ettore Rigotti (mainman of the metal band Disarmonia Mundi and well known producer) appears on both videos as guest vocals. NeroArgento re-arranged the song “Nausicaa Requiem” for the project called “Imaginary Flying Machines” (MediaFactory/Radtone Music) that includes bands such as Disarmonia Mundi, Blood Stain Child, Destrage and Living Corpse that reinterpret 12 very famous songs taken from the films produced by Studio Ghibli in an extreme metal way. “Three Hours Of Sun”, NeroArgento’s first official album, has been released worldwide on June 2011 via Coroner Records and includes re-arranged versions of “Self-Control Juice Manifesto” songs plus some new songs for a total of 11 tracks. The album has been written, recorded, produced and arranged by Alessio in his own AExeron Studio and has been mastered by Ettore Rigotti at The Metal House. “Three Hours Of Sun” was subsequently realeased in Japan via Media Factory/Radtone Music in a brand new special edition including some bonus tracks, like the lucky “Helpless Like You -Japanese Version” featuring Yoko Hallelujah on choruses and in an exclusive bonus cd only for Tower Records shops. A brand new digital EP called “The Advertising Box” was released on march 2012 via Coroner Records including some songs featuring Dalay Tarda from Spanish band Rise To Fall, American remixer Scorned Society, a mash-up with Celldweller and a crossover track featuring major Italian rapper/freestyler Rayden. After the big success of “Princess Ghibli”, Alessio took part in the “Princess Ghibli Vol. 2” with a new track and two remixes, and “Princess Ghibli Vol. 3”, with two remixes. In the early 2012 NeroArgento became also the keyboardist of the melodic death metal band The Stranded, together with Ettore Rigotti, Claudio Ravinale (Disarmonia Mundi) and the pro american skater Elliot Sloan they released the album “Survivalism Boulevard” worldwide via Coroner Records and in Japan via Media Factory/Radtone Music. Alessio was also a guest on the Rayden’s song and video “Fin Qua” included in the major release “L’Uomo Senza Qualità”, the video was promoted on Italian mainstream networks, including the main music tv channels and the RedBull Italy website. After a short but good and lucky NeroArgento live chapter, Alessio flew to California with new plans for a new sound, style, look and new influences to meet new media partners and start to produce the new album “Underworld”. Together with new media partners NeroArgento released on November 26 the brand new videoclip “Underworld”, taken from the upcoming album “Underworld”. On December 2012 the label FiXT released the album “Trust Remix Compilation” including the best submitted remixes on fixtstore.com during the homonymous remix contest that took place on April 2011.
