EXTREMA – ‘ANOTHER NITE’ VIDEOCLIP POSTEN ON LINE
Extrema’s brand-new videoclip for the acoustic version of the song ‘Another Nite’ is finally available. Shot in various locations in central Italy, the clip was directed by renowed italian director Paolo Doppieri (who’s previous collaborations include well known italian and international artists such as Adema, Elisa, Linea 77, Roy Paci and several others). ‘Another Nite’, song originally included in the album ‘Better Mad Than Dead’ was rearranged acoustically and released as a bonus track for the reissue version of BMTD itself, which came along with the reissue of the band’s entire back-catalogue, from the mighty debut ‘Tension At The Seams’ to the latest ‘Set The World On Fire’, every release containing plenty bonus material, available now on Scarlet Records. The videoclip, which will be officially presented live on the 28th March on Italian music channel Rock TV, can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o8IpLPby_U

EXTREMA -EUROPEAN TOUR WITH DEATH ANGEL
Extrema have just been confirmed as the support act for the whole european
tour of Bay Area's metal legends Death Angel. The tour will coincide with
the reissue, on Scarlet Records, of the band's back catalogue (from the
mighty debut 'Tension At The Seams' to the latest 'Set The World On Fire',
every release will contain plenty bonus material) and it will surely
celebrate in the best way possible the 20-year-long career of one of
Italy's
longest running and most powerful live bands (as it was recently displayed
on the mastodontic double DVD 'Murder Tunes & Broken Bones'). Never
surrending among music trends and always capable to look straight forward,
Extrema adds another chapter to its now legendary career. Be sure not to
miss one of this year's most lethal tour packages! Tour dates and contacts

EXTREMA New Video: CASTING!!!
Sabato 8 Dicembre alle 18:00 presso il locale Rockaway si terrà il casting per il nuovo strepitoso video degli Extrema, regia di Paolo Doppieri (Extrema "Nature", Linea 77 "Evoluzione", Adema "Tornado").
La produzione cerca ragazzi e ragazze tra i 20 e i 25 anni, abbigliamento rock-metal autentico e senza fronzoli modaioli, estivo / autunnale (per riscaldarvi basterà la musica!), per la scena clou del video, che verrà girata sempre al Rockaway la sera di Domenica 16 Dicembre 2k7. Gli autori del video si riserveranno di scegliere circa 25 tra coloro che si presenteranno, selezionati in base a diversi criteri tra cui aspetto e spigliatezza.
Gli interessati sono invitati a presentarsi con due-tre alternative del proprio vestiario in tema. Nello scegliere cosa portare, il criterio guida è semplice: immagina di essere a settembre, nascondi i tuoi difetti e valorizza i tuoi pregi. In generale il consiglio per le ragazze è: vesti sexy. In generale il consiglio per tutti è: se hai dei tatuaggi o dei piercing, mettili in mostra.

ITALIANO (ENGLISH BELOW): Gli EXTREMA annunciano di essersi svincolati da V2
Records, etichetta alla quale avevano licenziato l’ultimo album ‘Set The World
On Fire’, e di avere appena firmato un accordo di
licenza esclusiva worldwide, della durata di cinque
anni, con SCARLET RECORDS. A fine maggio sarà nei negozi un ricchissimo doppio
DVD, intitolato ‘Murder Tunes & Broken Bones – 20 Years Anniversary DVD’, che includerà, oltre al concerto integrale che la
band ha registrato al Rolling Stone
di Milano durante l’ultimo tour (con una notevole resa audio e video, resa
possibile dall’utilizzo di ben sette telecamere), un lungo documentario che
ripercorre l'eccezionale storia della band dagli esordi fino ai giorni nostri,
svariate interviste, allucinanti filmati inediti e una tonnellata di incredibili extra (ne citiamo uno su tutti: il concerto
con i Metallica al Delle Alpi di Torino nel 1993)! La discografia della band si
arricchisce inoltre di un nuovo capitolo: in contemporanea al
DVD, uscirà infatti un disco dal vivo ufficiale, ‘Raisin’
Hell With Friends: Extrema Live’. Inoltre,
dopo l’estate, la Scarlet pubblicherà l’intero catalogo degli Extrema, dal
mitico ‘Tension At The Seams’ fino al recente ‘Set
The World On Fire’, incluso l’ormai introvabile ‘Better Mad Than
Dead’, arricchito da una nuova veste grafica e ben
tre bonus tracks (brani originariamente inclusi nella
raccolta '...And The Best Has Yet
To Come' del 2003). Ma arriviamo ad oggi: come in tutte le rock band che si rispettino – e non solo – accadono le separazioni e i
ritorni… Gianluca “GL” Perotti, per motivi inerenti
un diverso modo di intendere la vita in genere, aveva lasciato la band subito
dopo il concerto di Verona del 24 novembre 2006 ma, come si dice… A volte
ritornano! E infatti, a seguito di un chiarimento fra
le parti, GL è di nuovo la voce degli Extrema!!! La band fa sapere, infine, di
essere pronta più che mai a tornare a calcare i palchi italiani e non solo, e a
questo proposito si attendono importantissime novità, che verranno annunciate a
breve. Rimanete sintonizzati su www.extremateam.com oppure www.myspace.com/extrema. Il fottuto massacro
collettivo continua più fiero e potente che mai!!! Per contatti: SCARLET Enzo Mazzeo - Promotion enzo@scarletrecords.it

Legendary Italian metal band EXTREMA have just announced that they’ve parted
company with V2 Records and signed a new worldwide deal with SCARLET RECORDS. The
band, who’s latest full length effort, ‘Set The World On Fire’, was released in
2006, is working on a double DVD set, titled ‘Murder Tunes & Broken Bones –
20 Years Anniversary DVD’, set to be released at the end of May 2007, which
will include the complete concert recorded live at Milan’s Rolling Stone during
the last Italian tour and a long documentary narrating the whole band’s career
(20 years of metal madness with highlights such as the support slot for Slayer
in Milan during the infamous ‘Reign In Blood’ tour and many other shows with
legendary bands like Metallica, DRI, Danzig, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies,
Sepultura, Testament…), with lots of unreleased interviews, video footage
(including the now legendary show with Metallica at Turin’s Delle Alpi stadium
in 1993) and extras. A live CD, ‘Raisin’ Hell With Friends: Extrema Live’, will
also be released along the DVD. After next summer Scarlet Records will also
release the whole band’s catalogue, from the mighty ‘Tension At The Seams’
(1992), till the recent ‘Set The World On Fire’, including the no longer
available ‘Better Mad Than Dead’ (2001), with new artwork and bonus tracks. But
it’s also time to speak about the future: as it happens with every so called
rock’n’roll band, splits, reunions and so on, former singer Gianluca “GL”
Perotti, who left the band mainly for personal reasons after the show in Verona
in November 2006, is Extrema’s singer once again, having solved his problems
with the rest of the guys. Last, but not least, Extrema are fully intentioned
to embark on another gigantic tour across Italy and not only. More important
news to come. Stay tuned on www.extremateam.com and www.myspace.com/extrema. Extrema
are back! Promo contact: SCARLET Enzo Mazzeo - Promotion enzo@scarletrecords.it

latest news
We know that this news will come as quite a shock to
many Fans, but after 20 long hard years together, GL Perotti, no longers fronts
Extrema. The decision came about after their last show in Verona on the 24th of
November. The split is due to differences of opinion whilst touring. TOMMY
MASSARA, MATTIA BIGI, PAOLO CRIMI, and everyone on the CREW, wish Gianluca all
the best and hope he’ll be better able to express himself with his new project.
Although the band has canceled the tour which was due to start this January,
they do however confirm the release of their Live CD and DVD. The release is
expected to be early 2007. In the meantime the band are hard at work organizing
auditions to fill the vacant spot and get back on the road as soon as possible.
