From Fire I Save The Flame is the 8th album by Italian post-hardcore trio Three Second Kiss who are from Bologna and Catania. 12 years after they released Tastyville they are back. This time around the trio of Massimo Mosca, Sacha Tilotta and Sergio Carlini were recorded by Don Zientra at Sotto Il Mare studios in Veronese. In the past they have worked with Steve Albini while being signed to Dischord Records in the US.
The album opens with the slow distinct intro to Soul Catchers as the drums get going and the guitars build Massimo Mosca makes plain, he believes in holy men, quite which type of holy man is a bit opaque, but that only matches the strained guitars, leading them to suggest you dig your own grave among the heaviness.
Mother is thankfully not a John Lennon cover. They speak of holy lies and being shameless, sparse percussion, extruded guitars, meandering sound.
Garum seems to share sensibilities with much of Satellite Inn's recent comeback album, although not Alt Country this is more post country, looking at the grey skies today, the hard times they are struggling to survive, guitars simper, stress and strangle the mad dog gnawing at their collective brain.
Intermission n.1 is a slow piano etude in a Satie style. That leads into First Blood Spills from shapeshifting guitars, drums coagulating as that plan goes wrong, guitars slice her veins.
Let Me Breathe The Way I Know is fear facing, asthmatic complex shifting drum patterns, textural under structured guitar mewlings, panting away.
Exclusion Zone is in the vein of Her Name Is Calla as they hope they can cut that wire soon.
Letter from Hurtville is a pained missive, as everything has turned to hell, your gone, how can you ever be replaced, just write me a letter and let me know why you left, or I will find you and batter your ears with Intermission N.2 forever more.
Fuss has super fussy drums, long guitar notes drawing things out, pain through the vocals of the break-up.
Heart Full Of Bodies those they've lost among the disquiet, non-liminal guitar strains, baggy overwrought pain at what's been going on.
