Ottone Pesante - Scrolls Of War

Featuring Shane Embury and Lili Refrain. Ottone Pesante from Italy is probably the first Brassmetal band in the world, with a unique line-up composed by trumpet, trombone and drums. Scrolls of War is their new Album with seven incredible tracks full of ferocious dissonance! Scrolls of War is the first album of a concept trilogy about the history of brass music. There was a time long ago when droughts, famines, earthquakes, floods, and epidemics occurred almost simultaneously, within a very short period, forcing peoples to migrate for survival. These mass movements were desperate and caused atrocious and extremely violent wars. The ancients sanctified these wars in the name of a god leading them to victory, delivering the so-called rules of war. Priests were in charge of announcing the movements of the army to the sound of their trumpets and horns. Ottone Pesante embark on an imaginary journey through history, mythology, and archaeology in an attempt to analyze and exorcise the historical relationship of brass instruments in wars, starting from a document dating back to the 1st century AD found in Qumran, Palestine at the end of the 1940s: The War Scrolls.
