About
Klimt 1918 is an Italian band known for its evocative blend of post-rock, noise rock, blackgaze, shoegaze, and italogaze. Formed in Rome in October 1999 by brothers Marco Soellner (vocals, guitar) and Paolo Soellner (drums), the band expanded with the addition of Alessandro Pace (guitar) and Davide Pesola (bass) in 2002. Emerging from the remnants of a '90s death metal band, Klimt 1918 evolved into a group that explores atmospheric and introspective soundscapes, reminiscent of modern new wave and gothic rock. Their debut album, Undressed Momento, marked the beginning of their journey into lush and expansive sonic worlds.
