UNDERTAKERS

Iconic Italian death-grinders UNDERTAKERS premiere their new single “Pet Sematary” (Ramones cover) at THIS LOCATION!

The band commented:

“The Ramones have consistently embodied the spirit that so fascinates Undertakers: a sharp punk attitude combined with an imagery steeped in darkness and sickness. ‘Pet Sematary’ represents the perfect example of what makes them unique, being a sort of experiment in creating a punk rock ballad that manages to unanimously capture the attention of listeners, becoming an icon in the collective music landscape. Furthermore, the participation of Karim Qqru, drummer of The Zen Circus, fills us with pride, further enriching the depth and variety of our musical experience”.

“Pet Sematary” is UNDERTAKERS‘ first release since “Dictatorial Democracy”, issued in 2020 via Time To Kill Records.
“Dictatorial Democracy” features a few brand new songs, old classics from the band’s back catalogue and a couple of acclaimed cover songs: “Fascist Pig”, originally by Suicidal Tendencies, and “Ripetutamente” by Neapolitan band 99 Posse.

The current UNDERTAKERS line-up features longtime members Enrico Giannone (vocals) and Stefano Casanica (guitar), along with Marco Mastrobuono (bass) and Demian Campora (drums) for live performances.

UNDERTAKERS were formed way back in 1991 and throughout their career they have had the opportunity to share the stage with Napalm Death, Suffocation, Malevolent Creation, Vader, Cannibal Corpse and Vital Remains, among many others. When for most Italian groups playing abroad was pretty much a dream, UNDERTAKERS completed three European tours and played festivals such as Brutal Assault and Dynamo Open Air in the first part of their career.

UNDERTAKERS started as a classic death metal band, but over the years their sound has become a frenetic and brutal mix of grind, death metal and hardcore.

Line-up:

Enrico Giannone – Insults
Stefano Casanica – Guitar

Live:

Marco Mastrobuono – Bass
Demian Campora – Drums

October 2nd, the Italian Heavy Metallers CIRCLE OF WITCHES will play with ROBERTO TIRANTI (Labyrinth, A.P.D., Mangala Vallis, Ken Hensley’s Live Fire) at “Rock In Flames” in Salerno (Italy), in memory of Antonio Pucciarelli, the legendary bassist of the Italian brutal death metal band UNDERTAKERS (of the 90s’) as well as the bassist for a dark gothic band NUDE. Antonio passed away in June 2015, at age 39.

Remembering Antonio, CIRCLE OF WITCHES commented: “As huge fans of Roberto Tiranti and Labyrinth, it’s a great pleasure for us to be on stage that night to honor our beloved friend Antonio, gone too early”.
