Los Angeles/Bologna based trio, Nuovo Testamento, has taken over dance floors with their uniquely dark Italo disco-flavored pop hits in just a few years. Following the release of the coldwave cult hit Exposure EP back in 2019 (Avant! Records), their acclaimed full-length New Earth exploded onto the scene with its graceful 1980s-influenced club elements, contagious rhythms and a powerful punch of synth-pop. The release was widely considered across genres to be one of 2021’s best underground albums of the year.

Today they’re back with the announcement of their highly anticipated second LP, Love Lines, on which Nuovo Testamento continue to explore the light, the dark and exultant personal power in what will undoubtedly become an instant dance classic. Its infectious lead single and video “Heartbeat” hits today, and is a striking preview of what’s to come.

Nuovo Testamento includes members of hardcore and dark punk royalty Tørsö, Horror Vacui, Crimson Scarlet and touring members of Sheer Mag. Following a successful European run with Riki, they’re currently wrapping a full U.S. run supporting The Soft Moon and have confirmed a performance at Homesick Festival in Berkeley in January 2023. The trio has also just confirmed an extensive North American tour supporting Molchat Doma in late Spring of next year; see below for a full list of dates.
