Background notes
Archive material and source history
Festival of Mutilation formed in Rome in 1989, started by Adriano Carnevali and Maurizio Pusateri. They worked with noise, industrial, and black metal elements, making music that was deliberately harsh and confrontational. Their 1994 album 'Il Principe' gives a sense of their sound, which also shows up in tracks like 'Optical Nightmare' and 'Personal Cosmos'.
Their lyrics often dealt with violent or grotesque imagery, and the band faced criticism for their content. The lineup changed over time, though Carnevali and Pusateri stayed constant; other members included Alessandro Nunziata and Emanuele Casati.
They kept releasing albums through the 1990s and early 2000s, including 'Manhunt' in 1996 and 'Extinct' in 2002. Their approach remained uncompromising, and they've been mentioned as an influence by some later experimental and heavy acts.
