When the fine folks at Iron Lung Records exposed the world to Italy's COMUNIONE a couple of years ago, these seven songs were the soundtrack to my world for days upon end and I was surely not alone. Cold Euro-anarcho punk with a primitive early black metal presentation, these seven songs sounded positively (or negatively) deranged when I first heard them...and in this case familiarity breeds dementia. A lifetime later (read: last week) I pulled this self titled cassette from the shelf, popped it in the deck and waited for the feeling to fill me. The feeling is brilliance and knowledge, but neither is intentional - COMUNIONE is the sound of compulsion and provenance, the foundation of an as-yet-unknown but undeniably great thing. You might find comfort in the familiar aspects of the sound of COMUNIONE, but whether or not you find hope in the promise buried in those sounds is entirely up to you.
