Limbo (1) Formed in 1984 as the brainchild of Tuscan artist Gianluca Becuzzi (vocals, synthesisers, programming and songwriting) and the two fellow art students Bruno Farese (synthesisers) and Carlo Mallegni (bass synthesiser).
Their first demo tape "Limbo" gained the attention of the Italian music press and local promoters. Soon Limbo began to perform live in Tuscany, also appearing on the underground tape-compilation "Still Life" on Roman label Komakino.
The word about Limbo spread, resulting in a contract for a mini-LP on label Spittle Records of Florence. After Enio Benassi taking the place of Carlo Mallegni, the three recorded the mini-LP "Poisoned Kisses In Limbo" in November 1985 (released in February 1986).
After that Limbo embarked on the tour performing live all over Italy. Both the success of the record and the tour led to Spittle proposing a contract for a full-length album.
They had another change of line-up with Giovanni Fiaschi replacing Bruno Farese in 1986. Due to Spittle's failure the album was never released though and the master tapes were except for one track appearing on the "Independent Music Meeting 88" compilation LP. After these troubles Limbo lost Benassi and Fiaschi. Becuzzi decided to continue as a duo with new member Vincenzo Mustone.
The two composed and recorded new tracks during the first half of 1989 which constituted Limbo's actual debut album, named "My Whip, Your Flesh" and released in October of the same year on Mantra Records followed by an Italian tour. The album was featured in 1990 horror movie "Notte Profonda" ("Deep Night") by Milanese director Fabio Salerno. It became a cult film after the suicidal death of Salerno three years later.
Limbo's line-up expanding to a four-piece with Giovanni Fiaschi coming back and Silvio Pucci joining in 1991. Returning to studio they produced "Our Mary Of Cancer" incorporating guest vocalists like Alex Spalck of Pankow and Elena Margarolo of Brazil. The album was released by Helter Skelter in a limited edition of 666 copies on blood-red vinyl which sold out in few months.
The third album, entitled "Vox Insana", was released in spring 1992 on new label Dune Records. Helter Skelter anticipated the release with the unauthorised re-release of the two previous works on a CD. This CD is known as the "Black Album".
Their fourth album "Evirazione Totemica Seriale" released by Florence label Abraxas in 1993. Not satisfied with the production work Limbo decided to stop working with external producers. Recording a new demo sent to various labels a contract was offered by Angelo Bergamini (Kirlian Camera and Ludwig II records) for an album and a single.
The demo tracks were re-arranged, virtually stripping them from all guitar and bass parts annoying Silvio Pucci and Giovanni Fiaschi (playing bass, guitars and violins). Also Fiaschi's relocation 300km from their hometown weakened the band. The remaining trio still succeeded in finishing the recordings of the new album "Zos Kia Kaos" and the EP "Siliciolatria" in the summer 1994. Licensed the German label/distro Discordia it was finally released in spring 1995. Both Pucci and Fiaschi left soon after leavin Gianluca Becuzzi as sole member.
Performing with the aid of backing tapes and visuals Becuzzi performed by himself as Limbo for several shows in the following months (including Germany and Switzerland). He also supported Kirlian Camera on tour through Germany and Austria.
Limbo's sixth album "Sein Und Zeit" was then released through Discordia in May 1996, following the release of "Plays Discordia" album by Metaform (a plagiarist side-project of Becuzzi). Becuzzi also replaced the singer of italian industrial crossover band Pankow for their homonymous "Pankow" album at this time.
After Discordia's bankruptcy, "Hell's Gate Visions (1986/1996): A Total Revision" remix album, was released in October 1997 on follow-up label Triton.
After an Italian mini-tour in May 1998 with live support of D.Loop from the Italian EBM project Kebabträume, the seventh album "L'Être Et Le Néant", was released by Solar Plexus.
Conceived and recorded in the same sessions a cover album (part 1 of Limbos's "Millenium Trax" trilogy) was finished and in January 1999 the album "Continuum: The Fire Front" saw its release on Energeia.
Exactly one year later part 2 of the trilogy "Cospiratorium: The Ice Line" was released. The album included collaborations with Sigillum S, IT, Atrax Morgue, Kebabträume and others. Becuzzi's current project Kinetix was also introduced at this time.
The third part was to capture live versions of Limbo's most important tracks from the Wave Gotik Treffen 2000 in Germany, but for lacking quality of the recordings a final tour was organised by in March 2001, with three concerts covering the north, centre and south of Italy. The line-up consisted of Gianluca Becuzzi (vocals), D.Loop (backing vocals and keyboards) and the sound engineer Paolo Cillerai (stage mixing and effects).
The band recorded enough material for a live album and a live DVD but Energeia postponed and later shut down. Becuzzi saw it fit to quit with Limbo as he was already working intensely on material for Kinetix (by now his main project) and moving further into experimental territories.
Wanting to finish the trilogy the duo Becuzzi/Loop signed a contract for the last part of the trilogy with the Genovese label Cursed Land Entertainment who asked them for a kind of "best of" release. "Compendium: The Light Fall" was finally released in April 2004 as a posthumous album after radically changing from a live album to a compilation of remastered, remixed and brand new tracks.
Limbo (2) is a sick band that hails from Raleigh, NC.
The first incarnation Limbo was a sort of crack rock steady sound, with the ska/punk/metal sound. After much "secretive promotion" by the Kris Hilbert, one of the bands guitarists, the band finally posted their songs for the public to listen to. They played a number of shows, and then went completely AWOL.
After much time, Limbo came back. The new style was much more ambient, much much less ska, much much less punk, and much more metal. With a cello. And three guitarists*? I believe that's right. The sound could be compared to other local bands such as The Looming Tower, Requiem, and other bands from around like Kylesa and Baroness and Descolada. But soon, things went awry, and the band members went their separate ways.
The band members includes Kris (Guitar), Lukas (Guitar) Max, (Guitar), Wes (Cello), Adam (Drum) and Ben (Bass).
Limbo (3) - Founded as a trio in 2004 the music band LIMBO consisted of: Pavel Hrubý – tenor saxophone, bass clarinet; Taras Vološčuk – double-bass; Miloš Dvořáček – percussion, percussion instruments. The trumpet player František Kučera joined the group in 2005 and thus the group reached its current composition. The music we play arises in the same moment right on stage. It draws from the long-term musical experience and the outstanding creativity of the individual personalities. As the level of style and genre is concerned, it is very varied and it cannot be „put in a box“ in the good sense of the term. The band appears on stages all over the Czech Republic.
In 2008 Miloš Dvořáček quit with this band and today he play with -123 minut.

Limbo (13) is an independent singer-songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area who has been performing, composing, recording, producing, mixing and mastering her own songs since 2013. She is adept at fusing RnB and hip-hop beats she creates with hints of lo-fi sounds and dream pop. Influenced by Baths, Regina Spektor, Tennyson, and many other underground Bay Area artists, she has mixed the echoes of their influence with her own inimitable style to create a unique sound that is her own. While she receives much talk due to the fact that she performs with her face obscured by a cat mask and has posted little to no information about herself online, it's important to note that this is not a gimmick or joke. In fact, it's a part of her creative. What matters most to her is the music, not appearance; so sit back, listen, and let the mystery be.
Morning
Limbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Five am
Telling me it's snowing
On Christmas
You know me so well
With just a look you could tell
I was dreaming of you
And here you are
I quite like us this way
The mistletoe is hanging
On the door frame
You pull me under
You know I won't say no
A feeling of relief washes
Over me
When you lean a little closer than before
You pulled me in to say
I like us better this way
I've never been a party girl
I know I've said it all before
But with you by my side
It's alright
You always say we can leave
If you're no longer pleased
and one look and we'll be right
out the door
I pull you in to say
Life is better this way
We're swapping sweaters in the afternoon
And in the evening we'll dance until
Two am to those old
Records you love
Pretend we're in a different
World for a while
And when the moon's gone away
And the sun rings in another day
Christmas time is better with you
Oh the simplicity
It's so clear to see
Christmas time is better here with you
Christmas time is better with you
These lyrics depict a sweet and intimate moment between two people in the early morning hours of Christmas. The singer's partner wakes them up at 5 am to share the joy of the snowfall on Christmas day. The singer acknowledges that their partner knows them so well, understanding that they were dreaming of them. The mistletoe hanging on the door frame symbolizes the romantic atmosphere, and the partner pulls the singer closer, knowing they won't resist. The singer feels a sense of relief and comfort as their partner leans in closer than before. They express their contentment with the relationship and confess that they enjoy how they are together.
The second paragraph highlights the singer's personality, stating that they have never been a "party girl" and have mentioned it before. However, with their partner by their side, everything is fine. The partner always reassures them that they can leave if they're no longer happy, emphasizing their commitment to the relationship. The singer pulls their partner closer to convey that life is better this way.
In the final part of the song, the lyrics describe the couple spending the day together, swapping sweaters and dancing until the early morning hours. They create their own little world, escaping reality for a while. The lyrics conclude by stating that Christmas time is better with their partner, appreciating the simplicity and clarity of their love.

Oh, the simplicity of it all, it's evident and easy to perceive
Christmas time is better here with you
Spending Christmas time with you is far superior
Christmas time is better with you
The holiday season is more enjoyable when I'm with you
