Maria Violenza comes from Palermo (a city known for the Sicilian Inquisition) and embodies the heretics’ vengeance. She translates suffering into punk and synthetic melodies, like a tube journey against the flow from Medina to Mecca. It throws you against the wall, neuroses heighten and the beat’s fatal acceleration takes you to the underworld. Maria Violenza is modern exorcism, using a drum machine, a synth, a looper and Arabic folkloric riffs.
