For immediate release:
February 15th 2009 – Belgium based band Notti del Terrore is announcing its new endorsement relationship with Dovetail Strings. Notti del Terrore is a three-piece metalband, with influences from metalcore, industrial and some other stuff thrown in just for the fun of it. References are bands like Killswitch Engage, Fear Factory, Diecast, Ministry, ... The band will play especially designed and created 7-strings, new and exclusive to Dovetail.
Notti del Terrore has already finished recording their debut album 'Maximum Destruction', but is currently working on new tracks, with new recording equipment. Currently unsigned, the band plans to rerecord the songs from the debut in the meantime for maximum destructive capability. The tracks will be mastered at The Rhythm Cage Recording Studios.
“Dovetail is a company that we feel truly supports the underground and beginning artists. Needless to say we're chuffed they chose us to work with”, says guitarist/grunter Guy Van Campenhout. “When they first contacted us, we truly felt honoured. We did point out we play sevenstringed instruments, as Dovetail did not have those in their productline. We thought they'd just reply that they wouldn't be able to help us, but instead they jumped at the occasion and assured us they could make sets of seven. You know, this does make us feel very special, seeing as we're the first and they went through all this trouble just to give us our required seven strings. How's that for dedication?”
About the strings themselves: “It has taken us a long time to figure out what type of strings suit us best. One brand sounds decent enough, but is terrible for playing comfort. Others play great but sound like crap. Dovetail not only plays like a charm but actually sounds killer! Talk about a lethal combination! We did request that our lowest string be a .60 instead of a .58, for – again – maximum destruction and overall tightness. And it delivers! Not only do we get clear and fat chuggah-rhythms, but melodies and solo's resound wonderfully. Here's the best of both worlds again.”
Notti del Terrore has played several brutal live shows, with massive response every time. “We are somewhat restricted in locations because we use a drumcomputer instead of a real drummer. Not every location has the necessary equipment to give us the sound we want and need to give a good performance. But when we can, we deliver!” Those that were present at their scorching show at infamous club Panddemonium (Antwerp) know all too well what this warmachine can do.
A word from Dovetail:
Dovetail Strings is extremely pleased to add our support to Notti del Terrore. It is truly rare these days that you find a band that has a good understanding of the music industry without compromising their creative genius. We are extremely excited about this endorsement.
The strings are custome made for them, combining our Regular Lights and a .60 gauge 7th string. For more info, visit www.dovetailstrings.co.uk.
