Who is Nuovo Testamento
Nuovo Testamento is a Los Angeles-based trio consisting of Chelsey Crowley (vocals), Giacomo Zatti (drums), and Andrea Mantione (synth). Over the past few years they have captured dance floors around the world with their blend of dark Italo-disco and synth-driven pop.
Their music evokes classic synth-era hits while maintaining a modern pop sensibility. The songs are melodic, energetic, and designed to stay in the listener’s mind long after the music stops.
Early releases and breakthrough
Their debut EP “Exposure” (2019, Avant! Records) served as a coldwave introduction for the group and quickly made them a favorite on goth and darkwave dance floors.
The real breakthrough came with “New Earth” in 2021. The release fully articulated their dark-pop identity and placed the trio among the fastest rising names in the alternative scene. Vintage club sounds, pulsing synths and modern pop precision defined the record.
Growth and touring
In 2023 the band released “Love Lines”, further solidifying their reputation. Tours with artists such as Molchat Doma and The Soft Moon expanded their audience across the international alternative scene.
Remix collaborations with acts like Drab Majesty, Curses and Scowl highlighted their growing influence within the darkwave and synth-pop communities.
A new chapter – EP “Trouble”
The year 2025 marks another important step with the release of the EP “Trouble.” The record presents the trio’s most mature and explorative work so far.
Singles “Picture Perfect” and “Dream On” showcase their love for ‘80s and ‘90s influences, blending freestyle, synth pop and alternative music into a cohesive and danceable sound.
With crisp modern production and vibrant songwriting, Nuovo Testamento continues to craft a distinctive sound that is unmistakably their own.
