10 Heavy Metal Bands Genuinely Progressing The Genre
7. Ottone Pesante
Think of a Heavy Metal band, picture them in your mind, and I’m going to assume you’re seeing some deviation of the standard vocalist, guitarist, bassist and drummer four piece. Sound about right? Well, not if you happen to live anywhere in the vicinity of Italian brass botherers, Ottone Pesante.
If you want to have your face melted by a guitar solo then get ready for an amplified trumpet to tear through your skull, and for fans of the low end rumble, there’s the roar of the trombone to have the earth shaking at your feet.
With a ferocious drumkit backing this brass onslaught, the band have been flooring audiences all over Europe since their formation in 2015 by taking the blueprints of extreme music and putting a genuinely unexpected spin on proceedings.
With 2020’s bizarrely palindromic ‘DooMooD’ bringing guest vocalists into the fold, the sounds of a seriously heavy marching band are sure to keep coming for some time.
