Recently long-running Italian groove thrash metallers EXTREMA released their seventh studio album, “Headbanging Forever” via Rockshots Records!
Today, drummer Francesco “Frullo” Larosa (www.facebook.com/FrancescoLaRosaOfficial) has released a playthrough video for the record’s first single, “For The Loved And The Lost”.
Watch the clip, here: https://youtu.be/7XTdXOaihgY
Francesco “Frullo” Larosa states:
“I’m happy to share with you all the playthrough video for the first single taken from the album ‘Headbanging Forever’. I’ve recorded the video with Gaston Studio’s guys and Daniele Farina. Paolo Toso took care of the wonderful lights and Gabriele Ravaglia from Fear Studio captured the sound. The song ‘For the Love and the Lost’ is a thrash ride at 200bpm. I had a lot of fun adding a lot of double bass parts, linear phrases and some special meter changes during the guitars solo. On this playthrough video I’ve put also the scores I’m playing. I had this idea watching a lot of online lessons using the same method. I never saw that on a playthrough video before, so I think it’s very cool for all drummers that want to try playing the song. Enjoy!”.

EXTREMA’s original line-up was established between 1985 and 1986 in Milan, Italy. In a very short time, the band led by guitars player Tommy Massara achieved a huge success. Tommy is the only remaining member of the original line-up, and over the years he also played the role of artistic and executive producer.
Hundreds of concerts made the band more and more close-knit and open towards a constant growth path, capable from the beginning of welcoming influences external to heavy metal, a consistent choice within an evolutionary framework which saw EXTREMA start from the rebellious attitude of MOTÖRHEAD to later incorporate the style of Californian thrash metal, a scene with which the band shared the utmost care for the technical side of music and a devastating presence on stage.
The band’s reputation as musicians and performers kept growing in a perpetual live context, with extensive tours and the participation to prestigious festivals with the likes of METALLICA, SLAYER, MOTÖRHEAD, and KORN, a.o.
Extraneous from the beginning to political and ideological implications of any kind, EXTREMA’s lyrics have always strived to alternate challenging and contemporary themes with lighter subjects, true to rock’n’roll form.
In May 2017 the band welcomed the new frontman Tiziano Spigno. Thanks to his entry, EXTREMA can finally release all the creativity repressed in recent years: a violent, direct and engaging approach which is – at the same time – also varied, courageous and experimental, resulting in the new album “Headbanging Forever”.
EXTREMA are:
Tiziano “Titian” Spigno – Vocals
Tommy Massara – Guitars
Gabri Giovanna – Bass
Francesco “Frullo” Larosa – Drums

We’ve been following and appreciating the band over the years, and we are sure that the new album ‘Headbanging Forever’ will be a strong addition to the old fans’ collection as well as being a pleasant discovery for those who wants to give it a try”.
EXTREMA’s original line-up was established between 1985 and 1986 in Milan, Italy. In a very short time, the band led by guitars player Tommy Massara achieved a huge success. Tommy is the only remaining member of the original line-up, and over the years he also played the role of artistic and executive producer.Hundreds of concerts made the band more and more close-knit and open towards a constant growth path, capable from the beginning of welcoming influences external to heavy metal, a consistent choice within an evolutionary framework which saw EXTREMA start from the rebellious attitude of MOTÖRHEAD to later incorporate the style of Californian thrash metal, a scene with which the band shared the utmost care for the technical side of music and a devastating presence on stage.
The band’s reputation as musicians and performers kept growing in a perpetual live context, with extensive tours and the participation to prestigious festivals with the likes of METALLICA, SLAYER, MOTÖRHEAD, and KORN, a.o.Extraneous from the beginning to political and ideological implications of any kind, EXTREMA’s lyrics have always strived to alternate challenging and contemporary themes with lighter subjects, true to rock’n’roll form.
In May 2017 the band welcomed the new frontman Tiziano Spigno. Thanks to his entry, EXTREMA can finally release all the creativity repressed in recent years: a violent, direct and engaging approach which is -at the same time- also varied, courageous and experimental, resulting in the new album “Headbanging Forever”.

Italian legendary thrashers EXTREMA are currently in the studio, mixing their 7th album, the follow-up to 2013’s critically acclaimed “The Seed of Foolishness”.
Founder and guitar player Tommy Massara states:
“We have just finished the recordings of our 7th studio album and we’re actually mixing it, we decided to team up again with Gabry Ravaglia, that in the last ten years has been for us the 5th hidden member of the band, I shared the production with him and we recorded it at his own facility the ‘Fear studio’ in Alfonsine, Italy. Musically, it’s a 100% straight in the face Metal album. The title says more than a thousands words: ‘Headbanging Forever’”.
Today the band is also glad to present a trailer from the studio, giving you a taste of what you can expect from the new album!

EXTREMA recently welcomed their new singer Tiziano Spigno, chosen for his own style and personality.
Tommy comments:
“With Tiziano, we started again to work and explore first on the melody and on the vocal lines before the message itself. With the old course, at certain point of our path, something went wrong, now we think the fans will enjoy our music better than in the last years.”
