The Bone Machine Sotto Questo Cielo Nero

(The Bone Machine is the dark side, desperate and grotesque of Italian rock’n’roll.
In this new album , the band always digs deeper in the dirt of the marsh mud revealing new stories – such as blood soaked dreams – that you can listen to by lovers and the drunken monkeys patrons of the cafe of the cemetery.
13 tracks , 3 taken from the latest 7" "Noi Siamo zombies", in which the masked band pours 17 years of wild freedom and madness.
Once again the Rockabilly psycho, the Garage Punk and the Blues blend with the texts engraved with nails on the toilet walls of the cemetery cafe overlooking hell.
The sound is enriched with new fiery elements and collaborations proving that you do not travel through just one kind of music: Violin , Organ , Harmonica , Sax and Piano accompanying guitar, bass and drums among the dark alleys of a maze in which to lose to meet our beloved / hated demons.
The album starts with "Rock’n’Roll o Morte" whose beginning is a brief tribute to the late 50s Desperate Rock’n’roll, "Rock’n’Roll Guitar" by Johnny Knight (1958). The rest is to explore how the depths of an ocean that hides wrecks and tells the story of a never forgotten past . The cover is designed by Gerlanda di Francia.

The Masked Bunch from the Swamp is back!!!
Imagine Cramps, Tom Waits, RL Burnside, The Pougues and Dead Kennedys having a big voodo-orgy in a swamp in Italy… That’s basically what Bone Machine is!
All about dirty rock’n’roll meant to be played live in the rougher possible way.
Ok…we know what you’re thinking: they sing in italian, an unknown language to me and blablablalblablalba…bullshit!
This band is so groovy and you will not care in which language are they singing.
If you like crude r’n’r or dirty blues, this record will blow your mind!
It will be released soon in CD and LP (the only true format) with a double artwork by the skilled Gerlanda di Francia (check the lady’s out too).
Give up all your prejudices about rockabilly/psycho and all your shitty subgenres obession; this is something to crank up at an obscene volume.
Get it or die!

THEE PSYCHEDELICATESSEN 25/11/2016

Outta the swamp and straight to your heart………….from the home of Italian Garage Rock, Area Pirata Records , comes a brand new album from The Bone Machine , a three man wrecking crew playing electrifying, amped up, primitive Psychobilly/Rockabilly, Garage Rock and Punk Rock Blues. Who are these mystery men??? With their true identities hidden behind Mexican wrestlers masks, they answer only to the names Jack Cortese (guitar, vocals), Big Daddy Rott (double bass) and Black Macigno (drums), Bone Machine emerged from the primordial ooze in 1999 playing the dirtiest Rock ‘n’ Roll this side of Satan’s pit of fire. Imagine The Cramps in the grip of a psychotic episode, a twisted Johnny Burnette Trio on acid, zombie Elvis from beyond the grave and Fred Hammond possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper, then you come close to the experience of a wild ride with The Bone Machine. With lyrics in Italian telling half hallucinated visionary tales of demons, alcohol, sex and zombies, it has been said that " listening to The Bone Machine is like smoking marijuana from a plant that has it’s roots in Hell ". With an extensive discography from 17 years of recording which includes several singles, EPs and tracks on compilations, their new album Sotto Questo Cielo Nero (Under This Black Sky) is the fifth full length release from the band with their dynamic sound expanded with the addition of violin , organ , harmonica , sax and piano accompanying The Bone Machine’s "back to basics" guitar, bass and drums on several of the new songs. It’s primal Rock ‘n’ Roll at its best.
Mixing together the Rockabilly sleaze of The Cramps and pre-Nuggets Garage Rock with Voodoo Blues and an image that takes in everything from Weird Tales monster comix to Hot Rods and pneumatic devil girls, The Bone Machine are Lucifer’s very own bar band, hanging out in the same disreputable Juke Joints as the Jim Jones Review, The Birthday Party, the Detroit Cobras, the Gories and the MC5. The album opens with ‘Rock’n’Roll o Morte’ (‘Rock’n’Roll or Death’) whose beginning is a brief tribute to the late 50s tune, ‘Rock’n’Roll Guitar’, by Johnny Knight before plunging into a wild Rock ‘n’ Roll Rollercoaster ride through 13 tracks of the most thrilling music you will of heard all year. If there have to be stand out songs picked, they would have to be the madcap ‘Noi Siamo Zombies’ and ‘L’uomo Gorilla’, the Bluesy instrumental ‘Corsa All’inferno’, the Farfisa and fuzz Garage Rock of ‘Nella Fredda Terra’ and the sleazeball Rock ‘n’ Roll number ‘Un Altro Sorso Di Veleno’. If manic Rock ‘n’ Roll thrills are your thing, then you really can’t go wrong with The Bone Machine.

Bertrand Tappaz – Chronique 2016 – 05/11/2016 – VOIX DE GARAGE GRENOBLE

Dès l’enchainement des trois premiers titres vous êtes attrapé par cet album. Son charme vénéneux vous enferme en lui. Rockabilly bien secoué, Swamp Rock trépidant avec une bonne grosse dose de Garage dans tout ça, limite Psycho, et un chant en italien parfaitement raccord pour ce type de musique ! Mais le plus intéressant dans cet album c’est que les Bone Machine se nourrissent d’autres choses: Mariachi, BO de western spaghetti… et nous voici dans une œuvre bien loin des trucs faciles directs et tout balisés, mais au contraire on entend ici des choses qui aère les revivalismes trop poussiéreux et rances. Pour résultat : un album qui s’écoute de part en part avec attention et excitation ! Et surtout très souvent avec son fort goût de reviens-y !!!
