In 1917 the attack on Nikola Tesla at Wardenclyffe succeeded, and he died in the fire. His wireless energy never came, nor did his alternating current: Edison's direct current went on, and the world stayed on diesel, steel and combustion. A dieselpunk century.
The Second World War did not end in Berlin. It stopped at Rome, and Rome was divided in two, the Nazis to the north and the Americans to the south. From that line grew a cold war between them, and it carried the world to the end of 2011.
Anno Zero is its last week, from 26 December 2011 to the first of January 2012, when a dieselpunk nuclear war between the Americans and the Nazis ends human civilisation. In the last track an American voice, taken from the documentaries of the atomic age, explains the dangers of the blast. When the song ends, keep listening.
This is the third chapter of the Didascalic Concept. What comes after is Aftermath.

I'm crawling into my sweetest falling
I'm falling 'cause you are sweet and standing
You watch me when I'm still pretending.
...I keep pretending.
Believe me I can't just let you go
it should be easy and you know it
I'm drowning and nobody knows it.
...I keep pretending
Fading into the mist can help you
if you keep your right direction,
sometimes it becomes so hard to find it
it becomes easier to get lost out there.
Oh, to get lost out there.
Oh, to get lost out there.
I'm crawling into my sweetest falling,
believe me I can't keep pretending.
I'm drowning and nobody knows it
I keep pretending
Fading into the mist can help you
if you keep your right direction,
sometimes it becomes so hard to find it
it becomes easier to get lost out there.
Fading into the mist can help you
if you keep your right direction,
sometimes it becomes so hard to find it
it becomes easier to get lost out there.
Oh, to get lost out there.
Oh, to get lost out there.
Oh, to get lost out there.
can you help me cause I'm drowning now
can you help me cause I'm drowning now
Fading into the mist can help you
if you keep your right direction,
sometimes it becomes so hard to find it
it becomes easier to get lost out there.
Fading into the mist can help you
if you keep your right direction,
sometimes it becomes so hard to find it
it becomes easier to get lost out there.
To get lost out there. I get lost out there.
To get lost out there. I get lost out there.
What should I give you? To make you smile?
What should I make you? To make you cry?
Should I protect you When outside it's raining...
Could I betray you? Without your care....
Your care... Your care...
Everything should be as we know it
without leaving us the choice to change?
I'll take you nowhere! Do not kid yourself
I'll take you nowhere! You know innit?
I can feel it I can breath it
You will cheat me I'll be mourning
Till the sunset of your journey
I will suffer you'll be crawling
I can feel it I can breath it
You will cheat me I'll be mourning
Till the sunset of your journey
I will suffer but you're crawling now
but please forgive me I'm not your bride
I'm like a Lucifer without the light
I'll take you nowhere! Do not kid yourself
I'll take you nowhere! You know in it?
Let me feel it...
Red green yellow lights will fade away
upside down inverted run above my way
Everything is passing fast outside
nothing's gonna stop me, I'll commit my crime...
Over and over again,
feeling the same old refrain.
black my mood as asphalt paints my lips
blue this sky is coloured like my soul has been
Over and over again,
feeling the same old refrain.
Where I'll go till the end of the road
I won't dance on the edge of nowhere
I don't know if I'm losing my way
I don't look back in to my journey
I don't need to be carved in stone
'cause I don't want to be remembered
now it's time to forget what I was
now it's time to dissolve in the rain
Over and over again,
feeling the same old refrain.
Over and over again,
feeling the same old refrain.
Over and over again,
feeling the same old refrain.
Where I'll go till the end of the road
I won't dance on the edge of nowhere
I don't know if I'm losing my way
I don't look back in to my journey
I don't need to be carved in stone
'cause I don't want to be remembered
now it's time to forget what I was
now it's time to dissolve in the rain
Where I should go, where I can go,
where I must go chase the Nowhere
Where I should go, where I can go,
where I must go chase the Nowhere
Where I should go, where I can go,
where I must go chase the Nowhere
Where I should go, where I can go,
where I must go chase the Nowhere
Did you let me down? 'cause I know what you're feeling
You were right, when you said I was petrified, lobotomized, in my hollow
You were blind compromised 'cause the comedy of your life has no tomorrow
It's comedy let it be commonplace it's the face that's hard to swallow
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll...
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow,
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll be fading again
like a meaning I can't be, I can't see, what're you looking for?
Let me go! For what are you waiting?
I believed you could try to begin again in my frame since the nowhere
I believe you will try to begin again with your frame from your nowhere
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll...
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow,
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll...
You are my sorrow, my holy sorrow my own devotion and my sweet potion.
I'll be you sorrow, without emotion no emotion and retribution.
You are my sorrow, my holy sorrow my own devotion and my sweet potion.
I'll be you sorrow, without emotion no emotion and retribution.
You are my sorrow, my holy sorrow my own devotion and my sweet potion.
I'll be you sorrow, without emotion no emotion and retribution.
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll...
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow,
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll...
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll...
All over again... I'll wait until tomorrow,
All over again... before you go, before you glow and cover me till I'll be fading again.
Till I'll be fading again, till I'll be fading again...
Rest was the first thing they ordered but
they could not forsake his mind
flowing and seeping pure water again
"breaking through to the other side".
I'm still in the jungle
through the concrete triangle
I'm gettin' sucked down into this void
Scuttling footsteps of thieves and ruffians growing
ever louder on the ground
he's made of glass? he's gonna survive?
as the medicine will decline
I'm still in the jungle
through the concrete triangle
I'm gettin' sucked down into this void.
I see twenty soldiers
they are marching like angel
maybe this, is the end of time?
Cities are burning but I wanna get more
till the Fire sterilizes it all
great Holy Fire will clean up the world
let it erase every single sign
I'm still in the jungle
through the concrete triangle
I'm gettin' sucked down into this void.
I see twenty soldiers
they are marching like angel
maybe this, is the end of time?
Burn...
Burn till the end of them all
till the end of them all
till the end of them all
Oh Judith, Judith...
What you never understood is that those perfect needles
just could not save you.
Oh Judith...
You stood still on the floor I was still watching you
while you came down like the rain.
Oh Judith, Judith...
I saw you fade away, It's weird and so insane
I didn't love you and for you it was the same.
Oh Judith...
you were dying under my nails
I was trying to be with you
but you preferred your "China White".
Oh Judith, Oh Judith... You were flying.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith... You were mine.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith... You were liyng.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith, please don't break my heart.
On and on... On and on...
On and on... On and on...
I wake up every night Sweating suff'ring in my bed
but now you are just a gloomy memory...
I still keep you in my brain as a cancer without cure
who knows if the end you found a cure... For yours.
You are my candle, Still burning candle, Never cease burning...
You are my Demon My Holy Fir Bholg forgotten in the Downworld.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith... You were flying.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith... You were mine.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith... You were liyng.
Oh Judith, Oh Judith, please don't break my heart.
On and on... On and on...
On and on... On and on...
I wake up every night Sweating suff'ring in my bed
but now you are just a gloomy memory...
I still keep you in my brain as a cancer without cure
who knows if the end you found a cure... For yours.
Sweetness I would like to love you
but you know my heart is frozen,
I have died many times
and now I'm feeling like an old man.
Someone told me time would cure me,
maybe just to ridicule me.
Years have passed and nothing's changed
Should I just capitulate.
Now I'm frozen... Now I'm frozen...
You are my fire and I can't lie
when I say you shouldn't hide
I would never burn your time
I don't wanna waste your cries.
Now I'm frozen... Now I'm frozen...
Let me alone yeah... let me alone...
Oh! I feel so lonely. I feel so lonely...
I lost my heart and all remains
for a Devil dressed in "Blue Eyes".
Please now try to understand me
I'll never find a way out....
I close my eyes and feel your voice,
I call your name but you never come to me
You are so far ten light years
and I remain so lonely, lonely, lonely.
I was spending all my days looking for another chance
but the time has passed by and as the second, third has gone
I considered what you told me
now I found myself in blue and everything is getting rusted
so, now leave me in this brothel like a castle in the air
I considered what you told me
I considered what you said to me
I was sure it was enough
but I'm still clashing with the shadows
though you chained to my past
and I killed you with my cold knife
delicious and luscious and sour
scratching and creeping your spine
maybe you think you forgot it
it doesn't forget your sweet taste
Now I stagger like a pulsar through a time warp of my mind
nothing can detain me with its gravitation field.
I considered what you told me
I considered what you said to me
I was sure it was enough
but I'm still clashing with the shadows
though you chained to my past
and I killed you with my cold knife
delicious and luscious and sour
scratching and creeping your spine
maybe you think you forgot it
it doesn't forget your sweet taste
I've seen
your face on me,
and I've tried
to drown...
The dark
was so beautiful
and so close
to you
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
so far away...
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
too far away...
In my soul,
in my mind
I search for you...
To make
you burn.
Someday
you will lacrimate
but maybe
not for me
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
so far away...
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
too far away.
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
so far away...
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
too far away.
Should it
be my destiny?
To be a Christ
without cross
so, gimme
your fucking nails
and let me kneel down
by myself
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
so far away...
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
too far away.
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
so far away...
I was so far away,
I was so far away,
too far away.
So far away,
So far away,
So far away...
Away
So far away,
So far away,
So far away...
Away
So far away,
So far away,
So far away...
Away
So far away,
So far away,
In my mind,
in my soul,
let your body
lose control
So far away,
So far away,
So far away...
Away
And I know... I should get it slow,
slow enough for me before everything changes
and lay me down again.
You will never understand that for me it's been so hard
you keep on the same old dance...
I was made just for your game.
Am I gonna miss you? Are you gonna miss me?
What're we gonna do now?
While this love is still not growing.
And I know... Time is gonna flow,
flows on our skin, leaving painful scars
that nobody will ever kiss
but I need somebody else, 'cause I feel like a thief
that is stealing all your breath...
I was made just for this game.
Am I gonna miss you? Are you gonna miss me?
What're we gonna do now?
While this love is still not growing.
You can break my heart, You can steal my heart,
You can fool my heart... But I miss you.
Don't you break my heart, don't you steal my heart,
Don't you fool my heart, don't you pull me down
and down and down.

Press release: BLOODY MARY "ANNO ZERO" Valery Records is proud to announce the release of Bloody Mary's eagerly awaited third album, "Anno Zero". Five years after "Party Music for Graveyards", the Milanese gothic metal band releases its third full length.
Review
Almost five years have passed since the release of "Party Music For Graveyards", Bloody Mary's second full-length album, and now the time has finally come to enjoy "Anno Zero", the new chapter from the Milanese band.

Review
ANNO ZERO is the new album by Milan gothic rock band BLOODY MARY who, after "Blood'n'Roll" (2006) and "Party Music For Graveyards" (2010), reach the third act of the saga with a fine record true to the spirit of the group, one that completes the path towards maturity taken over the years.
Review
A welcome return for gothic rock fans: after five years of silence, Milan's Bloody Mary are back in the game. I remember well the enthusiasm that surrounded the band's first releases, at a time when the internet did not yet carry the weight it has today and paper fanzines still had their market...
Review
Year zero as a redefinition of their goals, better focused on a formula that allows them to play on equal terms in a market where anyone can compete, free of ties and rules.
Review
Bloody Mary are a band that has been active for almost fifteen years: the group took its first steps on the Milanese gothic rock scene in the early 2000s, then arrived at the debut album Blood'n'Roll, which also took them to perform outside Italy to wide acclaim, and six years after their second work, Party Music For…

When you are out playing gigs and drifting from one recording studio to another, spitting blood and sweating the proverbial buckets, you can be sure your bones get tougher and you gain a great deal of experience.
Review
Bloody Mary - Anno Zero Although they have been active since the dawn of the last decade, the Milanese took quite some time to build credibility at a national level and even to get noticed abroad.
Review
Let me say it: every now and then, among black demons, death and core furies and gothic power symphonies, it is a pleasure to be carried away by what is the natural heir of 1980s dark music, a scene that has given us bands and artists who made history and influenced myriads of creatures of the night all over the…
Review
Bloody Mary certainly need no introduction: since 2000 the Milanese band has been delighting us with a distinctive and captivating gothic rock, born of a love for groups such as H.I.M., The Cult and Fields Of The Nephilim, but one that puts the sound back into play, transforming and shaping the notes at will until it…

Review
On the scene for a decade now, Milan's Bloody Mary have earned themselves a fair reputation over these years as Italy's answer to their better-known Finnish colleagues, namely H.I.M., 69 Eyes and To Die For, without forgetting the 'historical' influences of bands such as Fields of the Nephilim and The Cult.

Review
Here we go again. Every now and then clones turn up of bands that, through a few lucky songs, have enjoyed very widespread success (calling it planetary would be too much)... so why not imitate their deeds?! This time we are talking about Bloody Mary, a band that makes us imagine anything but that they are original.

Damned in black made it following our directions, although of course his touch and his style are in it too.
Review
A band's third record is usually its record of maturity, and here it also happens to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Milan band. A cover depicting a post-apocalyptic landscape does not reflect the many musical influences the band draws on, a sort of melodic goth rock whose best-known Italian exponents are…

The Milanese gothic rock band reaches its third album, after two good efforts in 2006 and 2010. The 10 tracks on the new "Anno Zero" are immediate, hard and well packaged.

Review
Bloody Mary, a Milanese band with a decade-long career in gothic rock metal, present their latest effort here: a gothic rock metal album. As a statement it may sound trivial, but the consistency and the stubbornness that back it up are precisely this album's strong points.
