Deep Valley Blues was born in 2016 from the idea of Umberto Arena, Giando Sestito, Giorgio Faini and Alessandro Morrone in Catanzaro. The band’s attitude comes out with the first self-titled EP in 2017, a cluster of hard rock blues and psych rock with heavy sludge/stoner vibes that will set the parameters of the band’s sound and open the door to the intense live activity that will be carried out over the years taking them from the south to the north of Italy. In 2019 the album “Demonic Sunset” is released, the band’s first full-length and concept album, in which the project deals with a different psychosis for each song, using elements and references related to mass culture. These themes will also find space in the 2021 album “III – Third” released on CD for “Swamp Records” and on cassette for “Sloomweep Productions,” alongside songs with lighter themes, blues tributes and macabre chronicles.
In 2023, recordings were completed for the new record to be released by Argonauta Records: Sangue e Veleno (Blood And Poison), a very personal record that recalls the way of calling an angry person in Italy “poisoned” or by “poisoned blood.” And if “Von Hell” has a lighthearted and tragicomic side, describing the outburst of rage of a very Fantozzi-like gardener, “Poltergeist” returns to the intrusive thoughts dealt with on previous works and the search for peace. The heavy blues of “River’s Shuffle,” on the other hand, is inspired by the Italian horror film “Across the river – Oltre il guado” directed by Lorenzo Bianchini. “Sangue e Veleno” ties in with the world of manga, with the story of DonQuijote Doflamingo from One Piece, a key to telling something deeper related to the wounds caused by the hatred of a kinship that not even in the face of death can feel compassion toward one of their kindred. Not straying far from the world of comics, “Eternauta” takes inspiration in its title from the masterpiece by Francisco Solano Lopez and Hèctor Oesterheld and in its time travel theme from the Legacy of Kain video game saga. Instead of taking on a political connotation, the graphic novel reference is exploited to talk about a real-life car accident, the helplessness before death that leads to creating different scenarios and traveling through time to prevent an unfortunate event; for every paradox that is created, however, a sacrifice is demanded, and the protagonist is unable to get one life back without losing another. Lightening the atmosphere is “Dove” inspired by the poetry of Calabrian Massimo Parisi, in which an encounter between two people and a transaction of dubious morals is recounted. The sinister space odyssey of “Sette” closes the record almost as if to celebrate at the time of its recording the years spent together since the first record’s release.
