Estetica Noir is an inner need, a passion, a child who still writes the logos of his favourite bands in his school diary, an escape route, but above all, it is to write songs in a world now bound mostly by sounds and software.

Estetica Noir is a project started in 2013 by Silvio and Rik, who have always been tied to wave/electrorock/industrial sounds and in particular to bands such as Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Killing Joke, just to name 4 of the thousands of names they continue to collect on their shelves full of CDs and vinyl records. From that moment, after some inevitable natural and physiological changes of the line-up, Estetica Noir released a self-titled Ep with Genotype Records in 2014 and 2 albums with the Red Cat label (“Purity”-2017 and “This Dream In Monochrome”-2022).

Among the various memorable experiences the following stand out:  The numerous concerts in Northern Italy with prestigious opening-acts for renowned bands such as Christian Death, Frozen Autumn, Norma Loy, Whispering Sons, but above all a mini-tour in France and Belgium with praise beyond all expectations.  Two tracks in the trailer and soundtrack of Riccardo Iacopino’s film “Al Massimo Ribasso”, with the participation of Luciana Littizzetto.  Presence in 5 world-class compilations, alongside the major names of past and current goth acts, and 2 Italian compilations (including one curated by Ghigo Renzulli, one of the founding members of the band Litfiba).  A regular rotation on the radio program of the legendary English writer Mick Mercer.
