Kratos - Seventh (2013)

“KrAtOS (real name Diego Strazzullo) was born in Naples, Italy, in 1978. He starts early to play classic piano and soon was hypnotized by the industrial experimental UK scene (Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Psychik TV) discovered by tape cassettes of his uncle. At the end of 90s he was captured by DUB (Bill Laswell, Adrian Sherwood, Almamegretta, Scorn) and he started to process sounds with the intention to melt a lot of different influences. With music he found big friendships in Naples (BLACKYB., FONOTECA, 73, SODOSTUDIO) but in 2009 he left Naples to Greece for work. The joy of music-making still alive, thanks to social networks, he collaborate with others producers and artists (Inference, Marianne Holland, Bissecta, Radical Elsewhere, Natalie Alva) customizing a proper style: a dark experimental DUB. In 2012, he collect 18 tracks with the same noir spirit into a LP called Seventh, a cinematografic hommage to Bergman piece ‘The seventh seal’. Currently, KrAtOS collaborates in project XSYNAPSIS with BLACKY B. and in UK experimental band Radical Elsewhere.”
