BIO Band
The original forms of Maximum Volume in Bologna in the winter of 1991.
In 1993 the group signed his first recording contract for the Underground Rec It 's time for "Breakfast" the first album. The band's sound is very personal. Pieces of impact, and distorted view, are mixed with more introspective moments: songs like "Alexander", "In The Name Of God", "Empty Room", while maintaining a strong emotional charge, moving in this direction. The album has a very good response from critics and public. The concerts are continuing at a rapid pace.
In 1994, the majors are aware of the group and, in early March, the highest volume are put under contract by the Wea that will fire their second work "along the edges." Artistic production is headed by Fausto Rossi has always been a model for Clementi and Co., a way of making music out of the fees charged from the market. The result is a sometimes difficult relationship, but inspired enough to give birth to one of the cornerstones of the new Rock. The group was finally free from all ties with foreign models. The disc is powerful, the unmistakable sound. "First God," "Better Than A Mirror", "Winter '85," "Fire Fatuo," become in a short time classics. He sees them as well as John Cale, which is proposed as a producer of "From Here", their third. The direction of the disc, however, is headed by Steve Piccolo (formerly Lizard Lounge). E 'in 1997. Massimo Volume I go to Mescal.
Compared to previous work, "From Here" risente del progetto portato avanti da Clementi e Sommacal nel periodo intercorso tra i due album: una sorta di laboratorio in cui i nuovi pezzi hanno preso forma attraverso delle performance dal vivo per voce, chitarra e harmonium. E’ così che sono nati: “Qualcosa Sulla Vita”, “Atto Definitivo”, “Sotto Il Cielo”.
La musica si fa scarna, evocativa, mentre le parole tessono brevi storie in cui ricorrono sempre gli stessi personaggi, canzone dopo canzone, creando un vero e proprio mondo poetico, lo stesso che si ritrova in “Gara Di Resistenza”, raccolta di racconti scritta da Emidio Clementi per la Gamberetti editrice. Il disco non concede nulla al facile ascolto; è struggente e sarcastic, made of silence and tension.
Massimo Volume Two years pass and return again to impress with a new work that displaces critical and audience: "Club Privé. The songs alternate with passages recited, is driving the rhythm, phrasing Jazz insinuate themselves into the fabric of music. An album rich and poignant, at times mysterious, which marks a new line of flight in the artistic development of the group. Artistic production is carried out by Manuel Agnelli, Afterhours which manages to give a compactness to the sound.
The texts are detached from the narrative form with a few strokes to create a world of feelings and memories that color masterfully the latest chapter in a story more fascinating to which was added in January, Emidio Clementi's first novel "The First Time", released by the publisher Derive / Landing.
The first single, "Private", was accompanied by a video purely theatrical, but that does not meet all the requirements of coated any clip, had a good turn around in the music channels - Italian TV. The tour, which started immediately behind the exit of the disc has continued without interruption, joined by a new side project which was "suggested" live in the work of Massimo Volume: "The Agnelli Clementi" a show of reading, shared by Emidio "Mimi" Clementi and Manuel Agnelli, traveling all over the country.
On November 15, 2000 was released in theaters "Almost Blue", the debut of director Roman Alex Infascelli, taken from the novel by Carlo Lucarelli (awarded the David di Donatello and a Silver Ribbon as New Director ).
The film's soundtrack, released Feb. 2, 2001, was entirely carried out by Massimo Volume, also candidates for the "Silver Ribbon" category in the OST of the film festival in Taormina.
addition to repeat some songs in previous work record ("Fire Fatuo" "Pizza Express", "The Dead City", "Warning" and "I'm Looking For", the latter used the opening scenes of the film), Massimo Volume have ventured into a completely new soundtrack, dilated and evocative that blends in perfectly with the black thriller.
Among the special, an instrumental version and re-read the classic Elvis Costello that the title of the film.
On 28 September 2001, Fazi Editore, was distributed in bookstores, "The Night of Pratello 'second novel (and third book) written by Emidio Clementi.
In February 2002, news arrives that no avrebbe voluto ricevere: i Massimo Volume decidono di sciogliersi e d’interrompere il loro comune percorso artistico.
Nei mesi / anni a seguire, Vittoria Burattini suona con i Franklin Delano mentre Egle Sommacal incide su Unhip Records un disco solista per solo chitarra intitolato “Legno”.
Emidio “Mimì” Clementi, crea nel 2004 il progetto El-Muniria, e pubblica grazie alla Homesleep Records il CD “Stanza 218” e veicola le restanti energie creative sul fronte letterario; sempre per la Fazi Editore dà alle stampe “L’Ultimo Dio”, pubblicato nel 2004.
Dopo sei anni di pausa, nel 2008 i Massimo Volume accettano di tornare a condividere la loro musica. Two big events this sign back on Italian stages: participation in the Traffic Festival on the evening shared with Patti Smith and Afterhours and the sound of "The Fall of the House of Usher", a fascinating project undertaken on behalf of the Cinema Museum in Turin and commissioning scene (in Turin) Officine Grandi Repairs (OGR).
Emidio Clementi public Rizzoli, in February 2009, his new novel "Matilda and her three fathers and three months after leaving, always on Unhip, the second solo album Sommacal Egle," they are not arrived. " I found
Massimo Volume, resumed the path on the road, are not limited to cross the Italian boot in long and wide, but they constitute such a new experience recording "Maximum Volume Bologna Nov. 2008," their first live album released on August 28, 2009 Mescal label.
Since that day till today, as the Tour goes on, enriched by several performances dedicated to the sound of "The Fall of the House of Usher" are becoming more insistent voices that want the band, in the days free of commitments on-stage, closed in the studio working on the upcoming solo album, which finally was published last October and took the title of "Bad Habits".

Da dove cominciare? Un disco prende sempre la sua strada.
Per quanti sforzi si possano fare per renderlo un abito che ci calzi bene addosso -il nostro abito- il risultato non è mai quello che ci si aspettava. La musica e le parole prendono il sopravvento sulle intenzioni, seguono una strada tutta loro, affascinante e rischiosa, lasciandoci ogni volta nel dubbio che ciò che siamo riusciti a dire fosse ciò che avevamo da dire.
“Cattive abitudini” è di sicuro un disco popolato: di personaggi, di citazioni, di luoghi. Ossessionato dal tempo, attaccato al presente, è un disco che ha fretta, anche nei suoi momenti più dilatati. Il paesaggio which creates a landscape is rough, urban and domestic, large space and forced exiles, "our monotonous sublime" writes Robert Lowell, by enclosing it in one sentence (not too good to be stolen) the sense of ongoing discovery that we reserve everyday life.
recorded live in a villa on the Po, using only analog equipment (more for an emotional issue for ideological choice), we like to think that the pieces are soaked in the atmosphere that we breath out of time in those days, creating a detachment of perspective that is perhaps the only way to describe reality.
addition to the original nucleus: Emidio Clementi (Songwriter, vocals, bass), Egle Sommacal (guitar) and Vittoria Burattini (drums), it is to signal the entry into the group on guitar Stefano Pilia, already live in the 'Bologna in November 2008'.
