In the dark recesses of memory, where veterans of wars and revolutions still show off their grit, a band of irreverent peasants marches across the prairies of Annonaria Italy to unleash another epic musical battle. With a raw and unrestrained sound, Iron Mais return to shake the scenes with their sixth album, an explosion of cow-punk that mixes provocations, irony and a touch of decadence, without mincing words.
The sixth chapter of the irreverent cow-punk
After the strong successes of “Iron Mais”, “Hard Cock”, “Nausea”, “The Magnificent Six” and “Woodcock”, here comes “GIRATI CHE TI AMO”, a title that promises anything but elegance and sobriety. This album catapults listeners into the band’s unmistakable and vulgar world, with an explosive mix of styles that does not betray the deep roots of the best Italian cow-punk. Eleven tracks, eight of which are unreleased in Italian, show off provocations and autobiographical stories: think of “Deltacortene Blues (25 Kg compressi)”, a brutal portrait of the decadence of a rock star on the edge, with cortisone and bourbon as his only allies, or the crazy experiment of “La Canzone Dance”, which paints states of panic and confusion on an 80s/90s dance base, seasoned with country guitars and hypnotic rhythms for a delirious effect.
**“You've probably tasted a lot of corn in these months, but we knew you couldn't wait to taste ours again..”** This statement from the band leaves no room for doubt: it's a direct and cheeky reminder to fans, ready to dive back into the corn chaos.

Video Chronicles
I don't know if this music really represents cow-punk, but it's definitely an album that makes you think about how music can evolve. The lyrics are bizarre and sometimes hard to understand, but that's not bad.
I agree that the lyrics are unique, but I feel like they've found their own style. I don't know if everyone can appreciate it, but there's definitely something unique about this album.
I like the fusion of styles they propose. Even if I'm not a fan of the genre, this work has some interesting parts that deserve attention. Maybe it's not for everyone, but it's worth listening to.
