"DISCORDIA is the fifth studio album by BOLOGNA VIOLENTA. DISCORDIA is the first album handcrafted by me and Alessandro Vagnoni. DISCORDIA deals with the self destructive nature of humans turning against themselves to reach the inevitable ending of sure death. DISCORDIA was conceived by my frustrations, broken dreams and injustices fueling daily hatred for what is around me. DISCORDIA comes from my fears, from my own greed as well as the opposite end of the spectrum. DISCORDIA is the result of the endless struggle within myself, against what my comparison is and what I would be instead.
DISCORDIA is a wonderful album, athough is very poppy.
DISCORDIA is not a political album
DISCORDIA shows exactly what we have in mind: difficult music, but with easy-listening nuances.
DISCORDIA contains long musical pieces of which some may call them songs. DISCORDIA is inspired from the truth, sometimes untruths. The previous chronicle-album taught me not to step on certain feet. DISCORDIA is also a bulgarian transport company. After all, DISCORDIA has nothing to teach to anyone."
