Hi Arianna, thank you for the space you’ve given us.
I’d like to start by telling you how the “Music From The Dark” project was born, and who the members are.
After my mother passed away, I went through a long creative shutdown. Musically, everything stopped. But during the Covid period, locked inside my garage, I found myself spending many nights alone with just my guitar and a few records.
In those moments, I began to feel strong vibrations again, and the urge to write slowly took hold of my soul. I started dreaming again, thinking about a phrase a friend once told me:
“A life without music is not a life at all.”
From an extremely negative situation, the idea for Music From The Dark was born. Now that the journey has begun, we’re trying to merge our thoughts, our emotional states, and our most intimate sensations with the melodies of our songs. On this foundation, we’re building a sonic experience meant to leave a mark over time.
I want to thank my longtime friend Max, who pushed me to step out of that garage and turn these songs into a new musical project. Together, we founded MUSIC FROM THE DARK.
Max Tosi and I started playing together when we were 15, and he couldn’t be anything but the perfect companion — an outstanding drummer and arranger — for this new adventure.
In recent years, another longtime friend, Mattia Facchini, joined us. He’s doing an excellent job on lead guitar as well as arranging alongside the rest of the band.
I’d like to tell you about the essence of the tracks that make up our first EP.
“FOREVER NIGHT”
It expresses a deep existential pain and the definitive end of a toxic relationship marked by loneliness and ruin. An inevitable acceptance of the end, where shadows and darkness take over every remaining hope.
“A relentless search for the final goodbye… a pain capable of carrying you toward a new dawn or sinking you into an eternal night.”
“CRY FOR YOU”
It speaks of the loneliness you feel when something important — something that was part of your life — disappears forever. You desperately try to hold onto it so you don’t lose it, even though you already know that dream has faded. Yet you still find the strength to stand up and start living again.
“BLOOD DRESS”
One of the most intense tracks of the EP, blending punk‑rock‑goth elements with lyrical female vocals (Betty). The song explores themes of passion and pain, told through the voice of a man who has fallen into a path of misery and solitude.
“MY SECRET SUICIDE”
Our first single — a track we deeply care about — deals with the theme of an emotional, mental suicide… not a physical one.
A constant restarting from the beginning, resetting and letting the mind die. At that point, at “zero,” everything is allowed to decay, and from there a true rebirth begins.
Lastly, I’d like to thank everyone who helped us along this journey.
I want to thank all the musicians who played on our new EP, and a special thanks goes to Daniele and Stefano from Music Inside Studio (MO).
A huge thank‑you also goes to Mr. Jack from Waniykia Records, who believed in us from the very beginning, and to other realities like Thunder Rock, who helped us share our songs with so many people around the world.
Thanks to all this, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback that’s giving us the energy to keep moving forward with our project.
A warm greeting, and thank you Arianna for this interview. I hope this new single can make you feel the same deep and dark emotions it created in us.
