Order 1968/Runes Order


This project was started in 1988 as Order 1968 by Claudio Dondo, who had previously collaborated with several other bands (Wiegen Den Toten - 1987). Early compositions were inspired by ritualistic and industrial atmospheres and were composed using synthesizers, pre-recorded tapes and self-made metallic percussion instruments.

In 1992, with the tape "The Dream Door", the project changed name to Runes Order, taking a cue from the Indo-European magical symbols. The music shifted towards cosmic sounds, similar to the so-called Kraut Rock school of Tangerine Dream, Faust, K. Schulze. Nearly all the compositions are improvised and recorded with no overdubs.

 

Daniele Magarelli and his wife Paola, who formed N.O.M., joined RUNES ORDER in 1994, respectively as keyboarder and voicalist. With this new line-up they recorded three cds: 
"The Land of Silence", "Odisseum" and "Waiting Forever", that featured as vocalist Diego 
Merletto from The Frozen Autumn.

In 1997 Claudio Dondo produced the tape "The Revival" by Wolf, featuring the remix of the song "Endless" released with Paola Magarelli.
In 1997 he also produced and played the keyboards in the tape "The Interrupted Journey" by 

Tangram (Massimo De Maria) that in 1998 recorded the cover of "Tears in the Snow" by
 Runes Order, included in the tape "Times". Daniele and Paola Magarelli leave the band in 1999.


In 2000 started a new era for Runes Order as a one-man-band. Claudio Dondo recorded the cd "Il sonno del sogno" in collaboration with Massimo De Maria; subsequently he recorded "The Art of Scare and Sorrow" in collaboration with Argento, the vocalist of Antropofagus and Spite Extreme Wings, and with Tony Tears, the guitarist of the Helden Rune (in which are involved Claudio Dondo and Mercy of Malombra too).
The cd is a trip into gothic atmospheres with a '70s sound similar to the horror films sountracks 

(as Goblin, Frizzi, J. Carpenter...).
