  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The first Orient Express release is an emotional trip full of suggestion, which combines hypnotic moments to obsessive and cutting accelerations, straight riffs and inspired melodies, in a clear Motorpsycho, God Machine mood, with strong references to psychedelic 70’s Rock scene. The sound of the band, dragged by the rhythmic section, is getting more kaleidoscopic since the introduction of the synthesizers, that enriches the expectant and dark atmospheres, and emphasizes the emotional, expanded and chasing progressions. Have a nice trip!

    “People are becoming deaf because the music is played ever louder, but because of they’re becoming deaf, the music have to be played ever louder“ (Milan Kundera)

FIRST DAWN
(music by Orient Express / lyrics by Vito Digiovanni, Paolo Ormas)

I've been looking for you in the land of tears
I've said many lies for you

I used to live without fear climbing up the walls
I refused the truth for you
Now I kiss my self
Lickin' all my scars
Walking in the dark, through the shadows of the past
Thinking of my faults for you

I've gone back on my steps stumbled on my shit
One more chance is what I've lost
Now I kiss my self
Lickin' all my scars
Stone by stone until
I'll reach my first dawn

I've swallowed bitter words, forgetting of the taste
I've drunk judah's blood for you
Acting like a mask, smell of gin around
I've swept away my better days
Now I kiss myself
Lickin' all my scars
Stone by stone untill
I'll reach my first dawn

Orient Express Italy

Comparable to a mesh of Motorpsycho, The God Machine and '70s psych/prog rock, Orient Express is a kaleidoscopic trip through dark atmospheres and emotional hills and valleys. Have a nice trip!
