Nero Argento

NeroArgento is a project created by multi-instrumentalist Alessio Nero Argento (songwriter, producer, programmer and remixer). NeroArgento's music is a concrete mix of grunge rock, metal and electronic music enriched with orchestral nuances, acid, industrial and fx sounds.
The first independent release, an half-Italian half-English sung demo compilation called "Self-control Juice Manifesto", began to catch some attentions since the release of the first single "Trust". The first distribution partnership came on November 2010 with the famous electronic/D&B/rock label FiXT, owned by Klayton of Celldweller.
NeroArgento's music slowly begins to attract attention by appearing on gameplay video trailers and movies of the game "World of Warcraft" on youtube, on the Warcraftmovies.com network and on the famed "Machinima" network, then followed few other appearance on independent gameplay Internet vids and on several official freestyle sports DVDs.
The first videoclip of the song "Trust" got an unexpected success on Internet in few months, thousands of views from all around the world, followed by a second video of the song "Helpless" that helped NeroArgento's music to get spread through many supporters from everywhere, which with their voices, have become soon an important part of its growth. Ettore Rigotti (mainman of the metal band Disarmonia Mundi and well known producer) appears on both videos as guest vocals on choruses.
NeroArgento re-arranged the song "Nausicaa Requiem" for the project called "Imaginary Flying Machines" that includes bands such as Disarmonia Mundi, Blood Stain Child, Destrage and Living Corpse that reinterpret 12 very famous songs taken from the films produced by Studio Ghibli in an extreme metal way. The songs are included in the album "Princess Ghibli", Released in Japan by the big label Media Factory.
"Three Hours Of Sun", NeroArgento's first official album, released worldwide on June 2011 via Coroner Records included re-arranged versions of the demo album "Self-control Juice Manifesto" songs plus some new songs for a total of 11 tracks. The album has been written, recorded, produced and arranged by Alessio in his own studio AExeron and has been mastered by Ettore Rigotti at The Metal House.
"Three hours of sun" Was subsequently realeased in Japan via Media Factory/Radtone music in a brand new special edition including some bonus tracks, like the lucky "Helpless like you - japanese version" Featuring Yoko Hallelujah on choruses ad an exclusive bonus cd only for Tower Records shops.
