EXTREMA has been one of the most established names in the Italian thrash metal reality since the early ’80s, the first minialbum “We Fuckin’ Care” was released in 1987, followed by 6 studio albums, one live album and a dvd to celebrate their twentieth anniversary. At the beginning of May “The Seed Of Foolishness” was released via Scarlet Records.

Just a couple of days ago Tarja Virmakari caught up with GL (the vocals) and Tommy (guitars) from EXTREMA, who are preparing for the busy summer shows in Italy. EXTREMA has been seen on stage with Slayer, Metallica, Motörhead, Korn, Death Angel just to mention a few of them. In this chat GL and Tommy talked a lot about this new album, and how the band’s sound evolved in these past years. They also paid the tribute to Jeff Hanneman with whom they shared the stage for the first time already in 1987. One of the next occasions to see EXTREMA on stage is on June 25, as a special guest on Motörhead show in Milan. Join this likeable chat below:
