Pino Scotto - “Live n' Bad” [Nadir Music]

“Live n’ Bad” is the new album by Italian musician Pino Scotto, who boasts a very respectable musical career. “Live n’ Bad”, show guitar riffs with scratchy, powerful and energetic ways. There is also a vocal line, with lived-in tones, harsh and a little vitriolic, with the particularity of transforming into something lighter throughout the performance of the eighteen tracks.

“Live n’ Bad” presents itself as a nice concentration of grit and frenetic rhythms, excellent ingredients that make this proposal an attractive project within the reach of all lovers of the Metal genre. A record where every detail enhances every single track to the maximum power, leaving aside any doubts about the artistic vein of this artist.

Eighteen tracks that sound warm, full-bodied and captivating that show off every note, no matter what instrument it comes from. A simple style, without artifacts, almost embarrassing for the simplicity with which it manifests itself.

“Live n’ Bad” dares just enough to avoid ending up among the myriad of works (even good ones) that are taken for granted and never considered again. Pino Scotto’s great strength is that of inserting a whole series of small subtleties, from the breaks in the linearity of the rhythms to the use of rather refined arrangements, in a highly characteristic setting that can also be enjoyed by enthusiasts with a little more spring on their shoulders. Once again a flash of genius on a musical panorama that is too often banal and predictable.
