An expressive urgency that characterizes the project ICO became concrete in the following years, throught the necessity to introduce a new chapter, able to represent in a controversial way, the uncontrollable nature of itself.
The needing to realise a new work to experiment the evolution of its nature, throught a musical grows sought and conscious, of the innovative soul of avanguard music, are the main elements of CONTROVERSO, the new album recorded and mixed in the August of 2008 at West Link studio by Ale Paolucci (Raw Power) and Ale Sportelli and mastered in October at Vanara Studio.
Controverso, the new album out soon under SupernaturalCat, is the evolution and enlightenment of the band after their debut. CONTROVERSO represents a new impulse of uncontrollable nature: structured in eight tracks, the album evolves through a conscious musical growing, moving toward the innovative soul of avanguard music.

Incoming Cerebral Overdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As a relief of a stable distress.
Frozen emotions, already illusions,
Are a painting's frame
Made of blood and flesh.
Magnificent sleep embraces my shape.
Disappear:
Imaginary of life, hope of stability,
Tears include utopias, creeds
And known affections.
Like seasons, my rhythmic swinging
Between the warm and the cold produces
Natural frictions, that make me feel alive
But eternally crammed and tired
And so…
...I left what I created.
The lyrics to "Seasons" by Incoming Cerebral Overdrive are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. At its core, the song seems to be about the ups and downs of life and the emotional toll it can take on a person. The opening lines suggest that the singer is experiencing some sort of physical sensation, perhaps due to stress or anxiety. However, this sensation is ultimately a relief from a longer-lasting, more stable distress. The second stanza delves deeper into the idea that our emotions are fleeting and often based on illusions, yet still visceral and real in their impact. The line "Magnificent sleep embraces my shape" suggests a temporary escape from the trials of daily life.
