Magnitudo 8 is an italian one man band composed of Elfire.
Elfire, after having collaborated and carried out different extreme
metal projects, gets satisfaction from composing melodies and black
metal songs.
Indeed, he wrote songs, demos and albums and took part in concerts
making himself heard in the old-style black metal scene.
In 2007, he had experimented with electronic music and by means of
special synths, drum machines and softwares, he started creating
electro-ambient music in his study.
But this period didn’t last very long because he discovered new
sounds on the way and, remembering its origins, he broadened his
works giving life to Magnitudo 8, his power-noise-industrial band.
The noise crept more an more into Elfire’s mind who started feeling
a desire to express himself with noisy and distorted electro music.
In 2008, the Magnitudo 8 band created
an art demo composed of five pieces to download free on e-mule.
Thanks to this system to make itself known, the band gained the
attention of some djs that put some of its songs on the playlist.
In the meantime, Magnitudo 8 gave character and professionalism to
its sounds and in 2009, it signed a contract with X-Records that
placed its trust in the band and decided to help it in the
production and the distribution of the first album entitled “Lucro
Chimicaâ€.
Elfire with Magnitudo 8 and its new electro sound, wants to express
its own negative vision of the word and of humanity, of atrocity
and accidents that embrace our minds and make us feel pain.
“Science used to destroy, chemistry used to poison, many generations affected by diseases and strange pathologies that have only one goal: power.
The band with its industrial power noise made of violent and distorted sounds, wants to recreate an atmosphere characterized by gratuitous pain and suffering that have been recurring endlessly and will continue to do so…
…but unfortunately some are happy the way they are…!
