" There is a healing energy in music. There is a magic that brings people together in the Art. Heed the call."

"Mission:Create is rituals, musings and meanderings into a dilated, dystopian Now, casting sounds for kindred souls to heed, a Call to arms for Creatives, urging you to grasp visions in the Darkness, to never let the Visions fade away into Oblivion. Mission:Create is incantations, inciting you to keep on creating, to keep on building bridges in the Vacuum, through your art, no matter how insignificant this might seem in the universal scheme of things, and despite the sense of doom. Because it matters. Performing rituals to save ourselves and the world."

"The Spiritual Bat fluctuates between deathrock, gothic rock, postpunk, darkwave and batcave, with a hint of psychedelia. Active since the early 90s, the earlier incarnation was known as Spiritual Bats (plural), an offshoot of the art movement I Pittori Alchimisti (est. 1975), transmuting image into sound. Based in Italy, The Spiritual Bat is an independent, self-produced act which that carried out five coast-to-coast DIY tours in the USA, and played innumerable shows, including festivals like WGT (Germany), Whitby Goth Weekend (UK), Return To The Batcave (PL), Gotham Sounds (Germany), Castle Party (PL) in Europe, but also San La Muerte Festival, Vendetta Festival, SOGO Festival, Release The Bats, and The Red Party in the USA. Current members are guitarist and composer Dario Passamonti, founding member of the first incarnation (with former singer Matteo Bracaglia, in 1992), also formerly a painter of the Alchimisti group, visually impaired since birth and legally blind since 1994, and since then literally transmuting image into sound, his life experience through shadows and darkness into music; Rosetta Garrì, singer, lyricist, co-author, arranger, who had joined the band in 1995, as drummer; Emilio Torella, bassist since 2015; Greg Scott Cruz (Sullen Serenade) often contributing keyboards all the way from Texas. The Spiritual Bats have always featured artwork by I pittori Alchimisti (Alchemist Painters, Biennial of Venice, 1986), on their album covers and in their video projections during live shows, as well as repeated collaborations with old friend Doc Hammer (Venture Bros, Weep, Requiem In White). In 1994 the Spiritual Bats opened for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota…"
