KLIMT 1918 was formed by Marco (vocals/guitars) &
Paolo (drums) Soellner in October 1999. They were the
only two members left of Another Day, an Italian act
dedicated to progressive Death metal sonorities. With
this moniker the band released, between the years 1994-1999,
two demos ("Youth - The Castle Of Illusions"
- 1996 and "Be Nothing But A Bit Of Cold"
- 1998) and a MCD "Fireworks Outside - Black Butterflies
Over The Petals Of The Sun" - 1997 unluckily never
released.
In 2000 KLIMT 1918 started to work on new material,
more focused on different sonorities and suggestions.
The musical influences can be indicated with the Swedish
and English Avantgarde Metal (Anathema, Opeth, Edge
of Sanity, Katatonia), the 80'ies Wave (The Cure, U2
- early years, Police, Japan, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode,
The Smiths) and The Beatles (years 1967 - 1970).
In May 2000, at Giuseppe Orlando's Outer sounds Studios,
KLIMT 1918 recorded "Secession Makes Post Modern
Music", first demo of the band, featuring other
two new entries, Davide Pesola (bass) and Francesco
Tumbarello (guitars).
"Secession Makes Post Modern Music" was acclaimed
with great reviews by media and, after an important
promotion, the band chose to accept a deal for two albums
with MY KINGDOM MUSIC.
During the spring of 2002 guitarist Francesco Tumbarello
left the band due to personal reasons. A new guitarist,
Alessandro Pace, replaced him very soon, so with this
line-up and after hard-working pre-production sessions,
the band entered again the Outer Sounds Studios on July/September
2002 and under the precious supervision of Giuseppe
Orlando and Massimiliano Pagliuso (NOVEMBRE), they recorded
their debut album "Undressed Momento".
It is a wonderful painting of intimist and desolate
atmospheres, a pure manifest of Post Modern Art. Enjoy
their emotional, uncomfortable Rock Music!
