VIS022 : La Quiete | La Fine Non è La Fine 12″

Release Date: April 18, 2025

25 years after the formation of Forlì, Italy’s legendary La Quiete, Persistent Vision Records are proud to reissue their full length album, 2004’s La Fine Non è La Fine. Widely considered the most influential band of the European screamo movement, La Quiete plays, and indeed helped generate every stylistic component of the genre that has since been copied and reimagined by countless bands around the world. The dissonant guitar chords strummed at breakneck speed, panic attack vocals, blast beats and tuplet rhythms counterbalanced by dulcet, undistorted melodies are all represented in earnest on this towering LP.

Far from La Quiete’s sole release, La Fine Non è La Fine is the quintet’s only full length album amongst a slew of splits with other familiar names like Louise Cyphre, Phoenix Bodies, and The Apoplexy Twist Orchestra, as well as compilation appearances, and loose singles. Out of print for 20 years, the iconic record was originally recorded in 2003, and previously released in small pressings on Heroine Records, React With Protest, and Gasping For Breath Records.

La Fine Non è La Fine was remastered in December 2024 by Will Killingsworth. Persistent Vision presents the vinyl reissue in a gatefold jacket and limited colored vinyl. An essential for any devotee of the genre, this long celebrated record has already been a long sought after piece of punk history.
