OvO (IT)
OvO is an Italian heavy noise rock duo formed by Stefania Pedretti (?Alos, ex-Allun) and Bruno Dorella (ex-Wolfango, Bugo, Lava), in 2000 in Ravenna, Italy.
The two initially planned for the band to be totally
improvisation-based with an open lineup. After encouragement from
members of their local music scene to become a band and tour, they
decided to do so in order to play with Cock ESP, an extreme noise band from Minneapolis. Since, the pair have released eight full-length albums on a variety of international record labels including Load Records, Dio Drone, Bar La Muerte, and Supernatural Cat, among others. The origin of the band's name, OvO, stems from using a piece of the Italian word "nuovo", or new, which creates a palindrome.
Decibel Magazine summarizes OvO's latest album, Creatura, as "making rhythmic, layered, sludgy noise" and a "David Lynch dance party". The duo has toured extensively across the world, playing over 1000
shows in varied locations including Europe, Asia, North America, and
Mexico.

Combines a variety of
influences from various industrial and metal subgenres (noise, doom,
drone, etc.) and features a different approach to percussion compared to
their previous albums, with the drum sounds resampled and structured in
a mechanical, looping manner similar to rhythmic electronic music. Also
includes sample contributions from various several Italian artists
including Riccardo Gamondi of industrial hip-hop group Uochi Toki.
