Arditi (band)

It consists of Henry Möller (Puissance and Leidungr) and Mårten Björkman from black metal bands Algaion and Octinomos.

Möller and Björkman themselves situate their project in the tradition of Italian Futurism and its founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti; Allerseelen and Der Blutharsch are mentioned as early musical influences.

".To implement this artistic claim, Arditi's songs use a wealth of historical samples, such as those from newsreels (Nicht mehr Schande; Der Angriff geht weiter; Sieg durch Zwecksetzung; Militant Fate) or transcriptions of speeches by fascist leaders such as Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (Legionaries) and Benito Mussolini (Sun of Predappio).

In some cases, recordings of speeches or excerpts from written works translated into English are used, including those of Carl von Clausewitz (Military Virtue), Ioannis Metaxas (False Mask of Freedom), BUF politician Arthur K. Chesterton (Profound Truths), Alfred Rosenberg (Religion of the Blood - from "The Myth of the 20th Century") and Adolf Hitler (Sons of God; Bless our Arms - both titles contain passages from Mein Kampf).

Relatively rarely, own texts, mostly of culturally pessimistic content, are presented in spoken word style (The Measures of Our Age, Ploughshares into Swords, The Sinking Ship, The Absolute Essence).
