He turns 10 today “Hellvisback”The Salmo's cult album That in 2016 it changed the rules of the game and scored a true turning point for the Italian rap sceneredefining its sounds, languages, ambitions. In 2016, in a period of great transition for the genre, Salmo managed to re-establish balance and hierarchies by imposing a strong, personal and definitive vision, and deliberately going against the trend with respect to the dominant trends of the year.
A work that broke the boundaries, bringing a radical aesthetic and an uncompromising attitude into the mainstream, in a new formula for the national panorama. With under his belt 200,000 copies sold overall, Hellvisback he influenced an entire generation of artists and moved the bar forward on what Italian rap could be: more ferocious, freer, more contaminated.
In 2026, exactly 10 years laterSalmo is preparing to deliver to his audience a new creative act That look beyond simple celebration. After having lit the initial spark and fueled the anticipation among the fans, Salmo drops the ace today by announcing the album “HELLVISBACK 10 YEARS LATER” (Sony Music Italy), out Friday 3 April and available now for pre-order in the signed red Double Vinyl format (https://sme.lnk.to/salmo_hellvisback).
Entirely produced by Salmothe project takes shape in a new artwork That recalls the original iconography to transform it: the element of maskwhich returns as a key symbol, fits into a new aesthetic that filters the past through ten years of personal and artistic evolution.
“HELLVISBACK 10 YEARS LATER” brings the tracks of a one-of-a-kind album back to the center (including the two that arrived with the Platinum Edition) to reaffirm how certain works belong to a continually evolving artistic tension, and goes even further with three unreleased songs.
The first, “10 AD”That leads the way for the projectwill be out everywhere from tonight accompanied by a black and white video clip: written and produced by Salmo, “10 AD” it's a lucid and sharp manifesto-piece, without filters or concessionswhich intertwines personal experience and social observation.
