Bosco Sacro band | Go Down Records

Bosco Sacro

Biography

BOSCO SACRO is an Italian quartet founded in 2020 by musicians who have been actively releasing and performing within the Italian and European underground scene for the past decade: Paolo Monti (The Star Pillow, DAIMON), Giulia Parin Zecchin (Julinko), Luca Scotti (Tristan da Cunha), and Francesco Vara (Tristan da Cunha, Altaj).

They are inspired by visions of the sublime, reconciling vastness that comes from contact with nature and landscapes. Furthermore, they share a genuine devotion to the practice of music as a healing and liberating force. Their sound features dreamy atmospheres, slowed-down rhythms, and intense sonic and spiritual depth, drawing influences from Ambient, Doom, and Trip-hop.

Their debut album, Gem, was recorded with the expertise of producer Lorenzo Stecconi, who has worked with Amenra, Zu, Ufomammut, and Lento, among others. It was released on LP, CD, and digitally by Avantgarde Music in 2023. In August 2024, the band joined a brief art residency curated by Go Down Records at a sixteenth-century villa. This experience culminated in a captivating live performance at the villa's chapel. The same label recorded the concert and will release Live at Chiesa Armena in April 2025.

Bosco Sacro toured across Europe and repeatedly Italy, receiving invitations to festivals such as Brutal Assault, A Colossal Weekend, Frantic Festival, Curtarock, and Bear Stone. Audiences and critics have described Bosco Sacro's live performances as passionate, cathartic, explosive, ritualistic, and genre-crossing.
