Formed in 2013 and hailing from Caserta, southern Italy, FULCI are a death metal band named after legendary director Lucio Fulci, the Master of gore ("Zombi 2", "The Gates of Hell", "The Beyond", "The New York Ripper", "The House by the Cemetery", etc).
FULCI fuse old school death metal riffs, groovy slams and horror samples for a malicious medley of controlled chaos that wakes the dead! A non-stop aural assault for fans of Skinless, Dying Fetus, Mortician, Suffocation, Obituary and Devourment.
"One of the 50 bands from the past 10 years who’ve kept death alive and well". - Kerrang
"Tropical Sun is an absolute blast from start to finish, providing enough brutality, riffs, and gore-soaked death metal (with one or two hints of the melodic) that should please any metalhead gorehound". - Indy Metal Vault
"Vocalist Fiore brings his deep, horrid roar into the mayhem, while his bandmates Dome and Klem eject bursts of braying melody and pile-driving, neck-wrecking groove". - No Clean Singing
"Superb entertainment for the whole family (assuming you're the family from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), "Tropical Sun" is just the vacation we blood-hounds need right now". - Blabbermouth
"It’s solid slam death, it has a great theme (classic horror from Lucio Fulci), it has amazing guitars". - Brutalism
“A nice record that any fan of old-school horror and New York-styled Slam with modern production would like”. - Metal Temple

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
We were born in 2014 publishing our first demo tape. Since the beginning Fulci was intented to be a death metal tribute to the master of Gore Lucio Fulci.
In 2015 we released our first album “Opening The Hell Gates”, based on the movie “City of the Living Dead”.
Our live show includes visual, film audio samples, synth and when possible also lights to create a theatrical scenario. We use a drum machine (for choice), audio samples from the movies and synth.
In 2019 we had a tour in the west US to promote the new album: “Tropical Sun” dedicated to the cult movie “Zombi 2”. We played also at the Las Vegas Death Fest 2019!
We combined the two things we love: death metal and Lucio Fulci horror movies.
Each album we release is a death metal tribute to one of his movies.
Our musical influences are: NY/Tampa death metal (Immolation, Incantation, Cannibal Corpse “Tomb of…”e”The Bleeding”) Gore metal (Mortician, Necrophagia) Slam (Internal Bleeding, Devourment) and composers (F. Frizzi, F. Micalizzi, S. Cipriani, J. Carpenter).
