I look at myself with confidence
The fog has cleared
The stale smell has gone away
I can finally dare
Italy’s God In A Black Suit bursts back into view with A New Life, the fierce first single off their forthcoming record, Thresholds. In it, liberation lights the way: confidence born from the slow suffocation of old constraints, emotional stagnation shed like snakeskin. Rejecting the routine and rote, the band embraces a braver path, craving freedom from convention, boldly building something beyond the stale standards of expected existence. Conformity holds no charm here…only the thrill of fresh risk, honest chaos, a life lived wildly, openly, on the bleeding edge of boldness.
The song roars with restless guitars, savage and soaring, spinning around vocals that careen from velvet croon to urgent, untamed howls. Rhythms race ahead, nearly reckless, nearly frantic, as percussion pounds out heartbeats hard and heavy. Echoes of Bauhaus’ brooding grace mingle with the raw kinetic frenzy of Pixies, veering close…dangerously, deliciously…into the feral frenzy of Dead Kennedys’ reckless revolt.
A New Life screams for rebelleion; surges towards it, a defiant declaration set aflame, urging listeners toward the vibrant, volatile joy of a life fully and fearlessly lived.

Early in 2020, from Matera emerged a quintet: Annalisa Laterza’s bass murmuring beneath Bruno Pantone’s shimmering guitar, drummer Gianluca Natrella driving rhythms, vocalist Matteo Demma’s raw, resonant voice, and Pietro De Ruggieri’s spectral synths shaping new forms. Their debut EP, Nails, appeared in 2021, sparked by the single You Don’t Have Time. Proudly poised between post-punk’s nocturnal heartbeats, darkwave’s delicate drift, shoegaze’s soaring elegance, and Krautrock’s hypnotic pulse, God In A Black Suit reveals subtle beauty and depth. This band summons sounds both shadowed and luminous, daring listeners to surrender to their swirling embrace.
