Early career

edit

Brusaschetto started playing music at the end of the 80's, playing in thrash death metal bands.
At the beginning of the 90's his career became more structured, and he joined bands such as Mudcake (noise rock), Whip (industrial rock) and Down! (avantgarde improvisation).

Solo Project

edit

Daniele Brusaschetto emerged as an artist in 1994. His music has encompassed a wide range of genres, including industrial, noise rock, songwriting, and metal. During the 1990s and 2000s, he and his band were at the forefront of a vibrant live scene,[citation needed] embarking on numerous tours across Europe and even venturing to the United States. In the 2000s and 2010s, he experienced a period of electronic isolationism, characterized by fewer live performances. Since 2016, he has rekindled his passion for the six-string and extreme rock. In 2019, he released "Flying Stag," an album that signaled his return to the energetic sounds of metal, math, groove, and stoner rock. In 2023, he unveiled "Bruise A Shadow" on WormHoleDeath Records, solidifying a style reminiscent of early Mastodon, Voivod, and the new/no wave movements. Throughout the years, Brusaschetto's band has been joined by numerous artists from the Italian "alternative" scene, including Marco Rinaldi (Crunch, Omega Machine, Lama Tematica), Francesco Lurgo, Marco Milanesio (DsorDNE), Bruno Dorella (OvO, Ronin, Bachi Da Pietra), Marco "Il Bue" Schiavo (Larsen), and Mirco Rizzi (Ashtool).
