They are becoming more interesting every year. The Italian part is from Dante’s Divine Comedy Inferno. They change it a little bit, leaving the Pape Satan Aleppe (a magic formula like Abra Kadabra or Sim Salabin) at the end. It is the VII chant I believe there is a good translation online. I found this: AH me! O Satan! Satan!" loud exclaim'd Plutus, in accent hoarse of wild alarm: And the kind sage, whom no event surpris'd, To comfort me thus spake: "Let not thy fear Harm thee, for power in him, be sure, is none To hinder down this rock thy safe descent." But I am sure there are better versions. About “c’è da spostare una macchina, è un Diesel, this was an Italian song from a comedian in the ‘90. It just means “there is a car to move, it’s a diesel”. It was common at the time to go dancing In places where parking was an issue. So it depicts the atmosphere of those years perfectly.
a mention on the bloody tampon as tea! It is a mention of this common joke in Italy: “One evening Dracula entered a bar. The band was playing, everyone was singing and dancing. He goes to the counter and the bartender asks him what he wants and Dracula: “a glass of hot water”. Then everyone turns around in astonishment, the music stops playing and the bartender, interpreting everyone’s thought, says: “But how, you, Dracula, only a glass of hot water?” … Dracula pulls out a used absorbent and says: “I have to make tea !!!” …”
As Nanowar themselves had stated: “We’re the only metal band that doesn’t play only metal” Btw, the style is not exactly disco but rather an euro-dance hit in the vein of what was trendy in the late 90’s- early 00’s. Many European artists had disco and dance monotonous hits that had a very moving rock/metal vibe. I remember “Rock-rocking the spot” by Bomfink MC’s ( Finnish duet), that was basically heavy metal with a drum machine and it was insanely good. And Nanowar, being themselves, made a song with a goofy lyrical Tim Bourtoneque aesthetics but musically had captured this specific sound very carefully, respectfully and as you said it yourself - it shouldn’t have worked as well as it does. But it indeed works. And it is amazing. Even better than expected. Honestly I can’t see a reason why this song shouldn’t be played at night clubs in the summer
Nice reaction....I don't know if you got the references, but the part where there are 3 contermporary parts? They're actually references of disco hits ffrom the nineties: "this is the ritual of the night" is "the rythm of the night", "What is morgue" is "what is love" and "be be belzebub" is another reference to "ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop", another hit from those years that we stiil hear sometimes in ads
@@Misslithium26 It’s very possible to have been an intentional Easter egg because the bassist is a very intelligent person- an astrophysicist that speaks 10 languages, and he’s a fan of reggaeton, dance, disco and death metal ( among his favorite bands are Carcass and Dismember ). I saw a recent interview with him and it was amazing
I see the reference to Evil Dead and Army of Darkness.))) Klaatu Barada Nikto, you know. Potowotominimak is not alien. he's а djinn.)) Mr. Baffo is party vampire with that funny haircut from Coppola''s Dracula 1992. 😂 Reaction to Ghost - Spillways. Because disco metal. 🤣
I hoped you would discover the references/ puns based on 90s disco hits (Rhythm of the Night, What Is Love, Scatman's World, to name the 3 most obvious - there were even more pop culture tropes in the lyrics, as ever). Probably I am "old" to remember 30 yrs back. :))) Anyway, once established from where the musical and lyrical bits come, the whole starts to "gel" and make even more sense. As someone wrote in reaction to this song: "Disco is Undead!" \m/ \m/
I am definitely weird because when Dante appeared and handed over a scroll and they started reading out Canto VII - I laughed but then when I went to my first gig in London travelling with a group of punks from a Northern Industrial city I took and was reading Macchiavelli's i Discorsi (His less famous work but much more important in other ways) Them quoting Dante was the collision of two of my worlds my musical tastes and my literary tastes. Anyone who can put Dante in a Disco Metal song deserves a medal. When it came on I did stop the video and go and get my copy of Dante LOL

Here they say "c'è da spostare una bara" (there's a coffin to move), of course it's still a reference to Francesco Salvi's song

the italian part is from the "divina commedia " by Dante Alighieri a 1300's book written in old italian language

And Reek of putrefaction could be a reference to the title of an album of Carcass, a metal band or simply a good phrase for the lyrics

The craziest italian metal band 🤘🎼🇮🇹
Don't forget "pasadena 1994", released 3 days ago and, if you are interested, the new record is now avalable!
For the next could be a good idea also ironmonger.
