There is a thick red line that binds together the worlds of darkness and disco - a line that can be traced through some of the tracks that unsuspectingly topped international charts between 1975 and 1987, going straight from Goblin's "Deep Red" to Sabrina Salerno's "Boys." A story originated on the dance floor through lyrics that, when read through a certain peculiar angle, attest to a number of severe implications. A wild ride into the night, ripe with possibilities, fear and excitement.
Under Cover of Darkness is a tribute to the musicians and the sounds that set the canvas for CONFRONTATIONAL to exist: a dedication to those who paved the way.
