GF93 Biografia
......................................................................................................................................................... |
Formed in 1996 and oriented from the
beginning to the dark side of music GF93 produced 3 albums, that can easily represent
the band's history and evolution.
The band recorded the first album "Beaten" after one year (1997) of production
with Paolo Favati (Einsturzende Neubauten, Pankow, Dive and more).
The sound in the band's very first experience was totally influenced by the industrial
metal movement, due to the production of P.F. and the background of the musicians
featured in the project. Carlo Bellotti was singer and leader of the black metal
cult band Necromass, and Paolo Favati was a significant influence in the European
Electro-Industrial scene. A considerable fanbase was builded in Italy with the good
album's sales, and promotion but the band was looking for more: the European market.After
a short period of silence (due to the recording of some new songs) GF93 signed on
Copro Records/Plastic Head distribution , for the second album.
The band started writing the songs with the Hardcore producer Dave Chang. In fact
the second album recorded and produced in 1999 changed the band's future. More melodic
songs made GF93 a well known band, respected across the whole Europe. After this
important second release GF93 reached many important goals.
-Toured Italy with Earthtone9, UK with Misery Loves Company, again UK on headliner
tour,
-Supported NOFX, Wasp, Ultraviolence, Swamp Terrorists and many more,
-Produced a Video for the song "Sleepless",
-Appeared on national and foreign Rock TV channels,
-Headlined the famous Beach Bum festival's Tent Stage,
-Appeared on many magazines, cd compilations, webstites....
After the band came back from the last UK tour a lot of things changed. 3 of the
members left the band, giving space to a new drummer: KOREA, new bass player Fabba
and Vittorio on guitars. The sound changed with the line up. The new album "Convulse
all-star" saw the light in October 2002 produced by Alessandro Paolucci and
Martin Barbour out on Copro Records again. As soon as the album was released( with
worldwide distribution by Plastic Head) the band started working on the new Video
that is still broadcasted on MTV, Rock TV, Viva and many more foreign channels.
Patrik Wiren of Misery Loves Company is an important guest in the song ìEight Yearsî.
The band also appeared on PRP, Shoutweb, Rock TV, Rock FM, Rocksound, Channel Sky,
MTV,TMC2, Matchmusic and many more.
The new Album is out now titled OSR, produced by Alessandro Paolucci, Kurt Ballou
(converge) and Martin Barbour. |
