Robert
Delirio a name well known in the Italy underground scene
as the bassist and a founder of Atrox - a famous Italian punk rock
hardcore band. This innovative punk rocker is now living in California
and has recorded a new CD "Digital
Core!" Robert is now infusing Punk Rock Hardcore with
Techno, and is producing some fast and furious hardcore punk music. He
is using the methods normally used by the Hip Hop scene, looping,
sampling,
digital recording and software instruments.
Robert Delirio
plays with:

Software: ProTools LE
Soft Synth: Xpand!, Reason

This is where Punk meets Techno and the result is highly intense music
and is unbelievably impressive. Digital-CORE is fifteen hardcore tracks
dealing with issues such as genetically modified food, global warming
and the
new economy impact. The punk style vocals spin out the crafty clever
lyrics, the music is explosive
with stompin' drumbeats, contagious guitar riffs and quirky musical
effects.
The tunes "G.M.O.," "Hot Heat," "In the SUV," "Made in China,"
"O.G.M." and "Atrox remix" are the stand out
tracks for me.
