BIDERBEN Out Of The Lies (2006) Digipak CD

The mid-2000s nu-metal hangover produced some genuinely weird regional mutations, and Italy's Biderben are a document of exactly that moment, punk energy filtered through post-Korn heaviness with track titles that somehow include both Nosferatu and a Cinderella reference.

Out Of The Lies is a 2006 digipak release from this Italian punk/nu-metal outfit, twelve tracks that swing between aggression and groove in the way that era demanded. It is an oddity in the best sense, a record that did not travel far beyond its home scene and is now the kind of find that makes flipping through a physical collection worthwhile. The digipak format alone signals that someone believed in this thing enough to do it properly.
