Fabio Frizzi Brings Italian Horror Soundtracks Back to North America This Fall

The man behind some of horror cinema’s most unforgettable scores is hitting the road again. Fabio Frizzi, the Italian composer who defined the sound of Lucio Fulci’s cult horror films, just announced a massive fall tour across the U.S. and Canada.

Frizzi 2 Fulci kicks off September 23 in Brooklyn and runs through mid-October, hitting 15 cities including Philadelphia, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, and Vancouver. Ethan Lee McCarthy will support on select dates.

If you know The Beyond, City of the Living Dead, or Zombie 2, you know Frizzi’s work. His atmospheric, progressive rock-infused scores helped shape Italian genre cinema in the ’70s and ’80s. Quentin Tarantino famously borrowed the main theme from Seven Notes in Black for Kill Bill: Vol. 1.

The Frizzi 2 Fulci project started on Halloween 2013 at London’s Union Chapel and has been touring ever since. This will be the band’s eleventh U.S. run. The lineup includes longtime members Riccardo Rocchi, Alessio Contorni, and Francesco Saguto, with Dave Neabore on bass and Christopher Hawkind on drums.

For anyone who grew up on VHS horror or discovered Fulci through midnight screenings, this is your chance to experience those scores live. Tickets and full tour info at fabiofrizzi.com.
