Italian WW1 Centenary.
10th Anniversary of IANVA's debut on CD.
This connection has suggested a special release: sort of both a tribute and a warm thank you to all our fans. Not a simple reissue, but a true report of the mood, the spirit and the events leading to the birth of the band and the creation of "Disobbedisco!".

A "pristine" tracklist restoring the accurate and authentic description of that debut the way it was originally conceived, before the early WW1 inspiration was replaced by the meaningful and romantic urge of D'Annunzio's Exploit of Fiume and the tragic love affair between Major Renzi and Elettra Stavros.

4 released tracks (already part of the sold-out EPs "La Ballata Dell'Ardito" and "L'Occidente") plus 4 outtakes from some early pre-"Disobbedisco!" sessions (including a rare demo-version of "Terra Bruciata", originally written by Italian wave band Mystery Plays).
While waiting for IANVA's next brand new album, enjoy this special release.

For all those who don't want to forget, it's time for Blood, Courage and Love again.
Happy Anniversary.
