ABOUT BECKO
Rising from the ashes of post hardcore band Hopes Die Last, Italian multi-genre producer, musician, and vocalist Marco Calanca created Becko as a solo project, uniting influences of EDM, Hip-Hop, Industrial, and Emo-Rock.
With previous releases under his belt with labels ranging from Warner Italy and Universal Italy, to Monstercat, Lowly Palace, and Smash the House since 2014, Becko found a new home in early 2020, signing a multi-album deal with the independent, artist-owned/operated USA-based electronic-rock label FiXT, founded by genre-pioneering artist & producer Klayton (Celldweller, Circle of Dust).
In 2020, Becko released the full-length album INNER SELF, as a triumphant fusion of trap & metal. In 2021 Becko released a flurry of singles including “Darkest Days” which was produced by Mike Shinoda all on the path leading up to the release of his second full-length trap-metal album with FiXT, You Are (Not) Alone, which dropped in early 2022.

Following up his successful cover of Katie Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” (A Deal With God) Italian trap-metal artist BECKO jumps feet first fusing a new breakbeat rock single “Home.” This newest track is the first single from the upcoming ’90s-inspired concept album ‘Present Day//Present Time’.

“Home” is chaos refined fusing determination with introspection through thoughtful lyrics, and a strong and at times brutal vocal performance from Becko. Turbulent rhythms laced with synthesizers over steady guitars only solidify the track’s tempestuous nature. “Home” is about Dissociative Identity Disorder, and is about one specific personality among a trio trying to take over and work as a team without erasing their distinctive counterparts. The entire concept of the song and the album harkens back to late 90’s music and gaming when the internet was first getting traction, and anime like Iain, Evangelion and Trigun was very darkish and deep. 

“This song is the first song released of my new concept album called ‘Present Day // Present Time.’ It’s a breakbeat rock song with EDM influences,” states Becko. “The song talks about Dissociative Identity Disorder, where the main character is trying to take the other two personalities in power to be the leader of the mind without erasing the other two parts but taking them alongside and becoming stronger. (It’s a biblical concept).“

“Home” is out now from independent multi-genre label FiXT.

Trap metal artist BECKO has announced that his new album “You Are (Not) Alone” is now available for pre-order with the instant “Cryblood” (feat. Gizmo) dropping now. Written during the second Italian quarantine the trap metal album pays homage to his inspiration and love of anime and manga, with appearances from Prymus, Gizmo, IN6N, Stefan, Rhen, and Marry Me! Bellamy.

You Are (Not) Alone features a range of singles including the fiery single “Otaku Pride” which landed two official spotify playlists upon release, “Lonewolf” an homage to Becko’s former band, Hopes Die Last, which landed three official Spotify playlists when released, and the ultra-catchy alt-electronic-rock anime-inspired “Boku No Universe,” placed in the Oculus VR music rhythm game Smash Drums. 

The album also features “Darkest Days” a poignant creation with heartfelt vocal melodies overlaid with intense screams and hard-hitting beats, produced by Linkin Park frontman Mike Shinoda himself. On the production of “Darkest Days,” Mike Shinoda said, “I’ve had a lot of fun producing so many new, upcoming artists on Twitch, and Becko was definitely a standout. I’m excited for the song’s release and to see what he does in the coming years.”

On the upcoming album, Becko said, “I’ve written “You Are (Not) Alone” all in one shot during the second Italian quarantine. I was feeling in a cage as all we were and I’ve started to compare this feeling to the hikikomori way of life.
The album is a way to react to all the bad things that can happen in our lives. It’s the path of the kid that becomes mature taking life in his hands fighting against his demons. It’s the path of the new generation that fights against the old generation with this new technology as a weapon. It’s my path through music knowing myself more and more.”
 
You Are (Not) Alone is available now for pre-order and drops April 1st from the independent multi-genre label FiXT.
