The Orange Man Theory:
Formed in 2003, in Rome, Italy, the extreme rock quartet The Orange Man Theory
delivers a raging sound influenced by a strong passion for groovy
dissonances, angular and odd rhythms, a perverse addiction to death
metal and a real devotion for 70's super rock. Once recorded their
debut cd “Riding A Cannibal Horse From Here To…” with Steve Austin of Today Is The Day, they signed to the US Supernova Records. Their album soon caught the attention of the worldwide press that acclaimed the album on the most important magazines, and The Orange Man Theory toured extensively throughout Europe, USA and South America. They performed at SXSW 2008 in Austin, TX, and played with bands like Sick Of It All, Today Is The Day, Jucifer, Dark Funeral, Ephel Duath, Cripple Bastards, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Their second ground-breaking full-length “Satan Told Me I’m Right”, produced by Steve Austin again, will be released by Subsound Records. 

Zippo:
Zippo starts in Pescara (Italy) and takes its first steps in the summer
of 2004. The original aim was to play a thousand-faces-stoner-rock,
from massive and pachydermic sounds to moments of quietness and peace. 

Our guys work hard creating their music, entrenched night and day in
their little and humid rehearsal room, turning their anger into
vibrations. The results of their efforts can be heard on their
self-produced debut named 'Ode To Maximum', released in the early days
of 2006 and well acclaimed from fans and critic for its freshness and
good attitude. 

However, the only way to enjoy the band’s sound is to be at one of
their gigs, the very high volume is the necessary condition to feel and
live their energy. Live activity has always been a priority, as you can
see from the good many concerts around Italy and Europe, sharing the
stage even with great bands such as Orange Goblin, Colour Haze, Brant
Bjork And The Bros, Witchcraft, Solace, Stereochrist and more... 

Meanwhile, the sound got heavier, darker, more psychedelic and
prog-oriented; somewhat far from labels of any kind. Self-will and
addiction lead to Zippo's second album, a conceptual work inspired by
the highly discussed book by Carlos Castaneda, 'The Teachings of Don
Juan' (1968), a true report of his experiences with a Yaqui indian
shaman. Recorded and mixed in Italy at Twelve Studio by Andrea Di
Giambattista and Francesco Di Florio and mastered in California by John
Golden at Golden Mastering Studio (Neurosis, Melvins, Primus), this
work denotes awareness and determination, as well as a glowing
production. 

After this process, the all-time line-up – Dave (vocals), Sergente and
Silvio (guitars), Stonino (bass) and Ferico (drums) – loses an
important member. Silvio leaves the band due to personal reasons, soon
replaced by Devis (also axe-man in the Italian thrash/death metal
bastards Sothis). The band is ready to hit the road again. 

In Summer 2008 Zippo signs a deal with the roman label Subsound
Records. 'The Road To Knowledge' has been released by the end of 2008
and distributed worldwide from the early months of 2009.
