SELECTED PRESS:

WRUV

"Quality Instrumental Post-Rock with a fierce emotion that will blast your face off for its entirety.This album is a stroke of magnificence that is rare in the world today.It transcends the regular notions of what music is, creating a radical art form that emphasizes perfectionÖOne of the greatest of its genre, and one of the greatest in music."



IL MUCCHIO SELVAGGIO

More authoritative and intriguing than their album Sliding On Barents Sea (2003), Soundcheck For A Missing Movie hypnotizes with eight complex episodes, where physical flashes sometimes break cerebral and emotional harmoniesí calm.

ROCKERILLA

HC-B ís aesthetics are oriented to the reconstruction of livid and rough landscapesÖ Obscure and violent emotions, mitigated by the magical artifices of poetry. 8/10

THE SILENT BALLET



Soundcheck for a Missing Movie is a must-listen for its unique, post rock-based take on the usual symphonic movie soundtrack we expect in our heads, a la John Williams. HC-B is doing something special, and is sure to take you on a journey of epic proportions.

BEAT MAGAZINE



Today itís so hard to find an album that communicates so much; a disc which transmits true emotions

BLOW-UP

The new album of HC-B, an underground band of exceptional quality surprises with some audacious deeds and the development of their arrangements

Here we have a massive hard rock orchestra with some overflowing woodwinds, a sweet trumpet ballad, strings-rich post-folk, noise-rock backed by metronomic drums, and moments approaching the visionary Godspeed You Black Emperor!



HC-B was born in Catania, Italy in 1999 in occasion of their self-released My Green Apple which firmly established their distinctive balance between composition and improvisation across a broad instrumental palette. The initial vision held by the group was one of combining sound and and vision, which was realized in the band's 2001 project “T0-10-222”. Influenced by George Lucas short-film “Electronic Labyrinth”, HC-B created an improvised soundtrack to accompany the film. Short audio speech samples from the movie were included to enhance the unique blend of multimedia types which reflected the group's early intentions of complete sensory immersion. After the release of T0-10-222 HC-B toured Italy in collaboration with DoppioZero Booking&Management and some tracks were included in the soundtrack of “Fuori Uno”, a short-film by director Daniele Greco produced by Scartifilm. In 2002 HC-B entered in the studio to record their first official album: “Sliding on Barents Sea” was co-produced with Catania's Edwood Records and distributed by Rome's Goodfellas Distribution. Comprised of 14 tracks, the album was a combination of rehearsed material and improvisation. At the meantime HC-B's tracks were included on the soundtrack for the film “A Journey to Etna” by Alessandro Viani. Apparat and dEUS and starting a collaboration with the D’indie Booking agency, based in Florence, for a next tour in the occasion of the new album’s release.
