MODE....... VBRkbps / Joint-Stereo
REL.DATE.. 05-27-2006

Tapping further into the darker tones of
Militaristic Neo-Classical ambiance, Arditi
present their strongest effort so far, with
their ever effective use of crushing
orchestrations and evocative speeches. Heavy
vinyl, lim.500 copies, w/A2 poster.

Spearheaded by H. Mller and M. Bjrkman,
Arditi's first recordings came to light in
1997, inspired by the Italian Futurist Movement
of the early 20th century.

Given both members' involvement in other
projects (such as Puissance or Algaion), it was
not until 2002 that the first Arditi output
would come to be released - the limited edition
7" EP "Unity of Blood" (Svartvintras
Productions, 2002) earned the project excellent
criticism which served as motivation for the
preparation of a few other efforts put out
during the following years, among which their
debut album, "Marching On To Victory"
(Svartvintras Productions, 2003), the split CD
"United in Blood" (Neuropa, 2004), shared with
the Swedish Toroidh, and most recently "Spirit
of Sacrifice" (Blooddawn, 2005).

The project's recent alliance with Equilibrium
Music resulted in the release of the daunting
appetizer 7" EP, wherein Arditi presented two
brand new and exclusive tracks in a limited
edition of 500 copies, and paved the way for
the "Standards of Triumph", a new full-length
opus now available in both Digipak CD and
limited edition heavy vinyl via Equilibrium
Music.

Boasting the unique personality of this Swedish
combo, "Standards of Triumph" taps further into
the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical
ambiance that has become the band's trademark,
resulting in their strongest effort so far -
ever effective in their use of crushing
orchestrations and evocative speeches, Arditi
hereby drags the listener around muddy
trenches, leaving aside overly pompous festive
marches or alcohol fueled merry bunker songs
which seem to have become the norm as of late,
and casting an hypnotizing veil over the
turmoil of warfare-inspired Industrial
soundscapes.
