EXTREMA Announces New Bassist

September 16, 2010

Veteran Italian metal band EXTREMA has announced the addition of bassist Gabri Giovanna (FUZZ FUZZ MACHINE) to the group's ranks.

Giovanna previously filled in for bassist Mattia Bigi during EXTREMA's last summer tour.

The setlist for EXTREMA's next club tour will once again focus on the band's latest album, "Pound For Pound", but it will also include highlights from the band's 1993 classic, "Tension At The Seams".

In other news, EXTREMA will be featured on the soundtrack to the western/horror movie "Undead Men", in which guitarist Tommy Massara also has a small role.

"Pound For Pound" came out in May 2009 via Scarlet Records.

Following the group's 2005 effort "Set The World On Fire", the CD saw EXTREMA going back to its thrash metal roots, displayed in 13 powerful tracks which have already been described as some of the best ever written by a band that has been active in the scene since 1986. "Pound For Pound" consists of 13 tracks of groovy thrash metal with plenty of attitude, including a stunning version of KISS's classic "Deuce". The CD also features a very special guest apearance by HELMET's Page Hamilton on the track "You Make Me Sick".
