The concert at Zappa Barka is aimed at fans of darkwave, synth pop, and contemporary goth sounds.
In recent years, Nuovo Testamento have built a strong reputation on the international alternative scene. Their shows are known for energetic atmospheres and dance-driven rhythms.
Their music draws from Italo disco, synth pop, and darkwave influences. The result is a sound that feels both retro and modern, attracting audiences from different corners of the alternative scene.
The evening will be opened by Italian post-punk project The Spoiled, led by Giovanni Santolla.
The project combines electronic beats, distorted synths, and reverb-soaked guitars, creating a romantic and melancholic post-punk atmosphere. Their performance adds a more introspective layer and provides a strong contrast to the dance-driven energy of the headliners.
This Belgrade debut offers a rare chance to experience the band in an intimate club setting. Zappa Barka is the perfect venue for this kind of show.
The audience can expect a night of darkwave rhythms, strong energy, and a moody club atmosphere, with a carefully selected support act that expands the sonic range of the evening.
Nuovo Testamento in Belgrade bring a night of modern darkwave and dance-driven alternative sound. With The Spoiled on the lineup, Zappa Barka will turn into a dark dancefloor for fans of the scene.

The following day, May 19, the band will also perform at Močvara in Zagreb, also organized by Hangtime, giving regional audiences two chances to experience Nuovo Testamento live.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Spoiled is an Italian post-punk project led by Giovanni Santolla. The sound blends electronic beats, distorted synths, and reverb-soaked guitars. The result is a dark, romantic, and nostalgic atmosphere that defines the project’s identity.
In 2024, the debut EP “Time” was released via Manic Depression. In 2025, it was followed by the full-length album “Living Ghosts” on Swiss Dark Nights. With this release, the project secured its place on the contemporary post-punk scene.
After the album, Santolla collaborated with acts such as This Eternal Decay, Darkways, Corlyx, Chaos International, and Hinfort. At the same time, he maintained a busy touring schedule across Europe. The project shared the stage with bands like Traitrs, Hinfort, Darkways, and Ductape.
The album “When It Rains”, set for release on April 17, 2026, via Avant! Records, expands the project’s artistic vision. It focuses on intense and romantic soundscapes that explore intimacy and human relationships. The sound becomes warmer and more personal, with elements of indie rock and electrogaze.
The project pays tribute to genre pioneers such as Clan of Xymox, The Sound, and Pink Turns Blue. At the same time, it opens new sonic directions and explores a broader emotional range. It keeps the atmospheric depth and introspective tone that define its work.
On stage, the project delivers a layered and emotional performance. The focus is on atmosphere and immersion. The experience feels closer to a cinematic narrative than a standard concert.
