Der Blutharsch / Sottofasciasemplice split 7" - very interesting particular moment in time in the underground when this came out. Their frontman Mario Vattani was Italy's Consul General in Japan and fired by his performance in CasaPovnd event 2012. CasaPovnd, when they first came out, were hip to alot of global third world anti-imperialist struggles; antineocon; appealing to millenials, etc... Kind of predates alot of the activity on the internet since 2016. It is cool that Der Blutharsch did a split with a CasaPovnd-adjacent group. Don't expect to see anything similar drop in the underground music scene these days. I think this record is unique for that.

Sottofasciasemplice was a very interesting project. Alternative music meets neofolk (in the beginning, especially the album "Crociato"), then they moved towards a more electronic sound in recent years. The focus has always been, as happens with these bands, on the lyrics. "Come mai" is a perfect example, and has become something of an anthem in certain circles.

However, in those years it was not impossible to see this type of impromptu collaborations (on the compilation dedicated to Codreanu there were both Sottofasciasemplice and Londinium SPQR, another Italian group from that political area), and Der Blutharsch himself did a split with ZetaZeroAlfa (the CasaPound leader's band).
