Bio:
Spiritual Front was founded in 2001 as the solo project of Simone H. Salvatori. From dark, wailing experimental folk in the beginning, the sound began to transform and grow, to where it is now compared to the work of Nick Cave, Swans, and Scott Walker. From 2003 to 2005, the one man band transformed into a true, polished group. Spiritual Front received more and more requests for live shows across Europe, a testimony to how the band evolved personally and how it came to represent a unique and defined style characterized as decadent pop with a vintage sound and image drawn from the founder’s interest in film. Themes treated by Simone H. deal with searching for self-identity through turbid and untamed exploration of sexuality, stories of breaking up with anger at bitter sarcasm and irony, always touched with nihilism and biting humor. At this point the band brazenly united folk, indie rock, tango, and country rock in a unique, unmistakeable mix as shown in “Armageddon Gigolo” (recorded in collaboration with musicians from Ennio Morricone’s orchestra) from 2006. In 2010 they were invited to perform on the prestigious Rockpalast TV show (legendary German music show that has hosted the likes of The Smiths, Oasis, Faith no more, and Maximo Park). During Rockplast’s 30 years on air, Spiritual Front is the only Italian rock band that has ever been invited to perform! Their latest album “Rotten roma casino” from 2010 include musicians from Morricone’s orchestra again, a testament to the band’s love for certain cinematographic sounds. During 2013 the band has published two different albums: ‘Open wounds’,which contains all the first material re-arranged and re-mastered, and ‘ Black hearts in black suits’, a concept neo classical chamber pop album, a concept album about the German movie director W.R.
The double album ‘Amour braque’ arrived on 2018. Conceptually inspired by Pasolini, Żuławski, Jarman , Visconti,Techinè,Fassbinder, AB is a sincere and cruel analysis of what love/sex relations are, a path that switch between tenderness and rot, ‘Braque’ could be translated, indeed, as something between lowlife,filthy and petty! ‘Amour Braque’ can be considered as the new suicide pop manifesto,
their recent album ‘ The queen is not dead’ is a tribute album to the legendary Manchester band the Smiths, this full length enter the german chart few days after it s release. Many artist joined it as Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd, Blue Pearl), Riccardo Galati, Filippo Marcheggiani (Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso), Michal Stepien (Mgła), Jairo Zavala (Calexico), King Dude, Traci Danielle (My Life With The Thrill K*ll Kult), Riccardo Spilli (Il Balletto Di Bronzo) eSasha Boole (Me And ThatMan).
