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.

Limbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll go straight to airplane mode
Find something to do alone
I can be a little bit cold
But my third eye is going blind
I'm unaligned with my body and mind
It's playing tricks, I say I'm fine
But really, it's hurting me deep inside
'Cause I've been dreaming about you, ooh
I've been wishing that I was next to you, ooh
I've been dreaming of us, ooh
I've been thinking that this is not a need or a must, but
Love has treated me so, so wrong
This year, all I've got to show are songs
And I want to be super duper true to you
But God, I don't know what to do
'Cause last year I was just twenty two, feels like it up and flew
So far away and out of view, but twenty three seems like me and you
'Cause I've been dreaming about you, ooh
I've been wishing I was next to you, ooh
I've been dreaming of us, ooh
I've been thinking this is not a need or a must
I've been dreaming of us
I know sometimes I make you feel insane
Sorry, that's just how I play this stupid game
I can't act like a child and disobey
All that you want from me and that you say
I'm sorry, baby, please, puppy
I'm trying to be ultra mega happy
And show you my smile and send you my feelings
And fuck, it is so hard being so damn far
I guess I'll just stay here and stay singing in my car?
I'll sing in my car
I've been dreaming about you, ooh
I've been wishing I was next to you, ooh
I've been dreaming of us, ooh
I've been thinking this is not a need or a must, but
I've been waiting on you, ooh
I've been waiting for you to tell me those three words too
'Cause I've been hoping it's true, ooh
That one day I'll feel like I am something new for you
I've been dreaming of us
Something real for you, something real for you
Something real for you, something real for you
The song "Airplane Mode" by Limbo expresses conflicting emotions about a long-distance relationship. The singer wants to disconnect from the world by putting their phone in airplane mode and being alone with their thoughts, but at the same time, they are dreaming of their partner and wishing to be with them. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with their mental health and feeling disconnected from their body and mind. They are also feeling uncertain about the future of their relationship and whether their love is enough to overcome the distance between them. The singer apologizes for being difficult and promises to try to be happy and show their feelings, but they admit that it is hard to be so far away from their partner.
In essence, the song is about the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship, the struggles of mental health issues, and the desire for an authentic, real connection with someone. The singer's conflicting emotions reflect the complexity of these issues and the difficulty of finding a resolution.

I need to not pick up my phone
I must avoid replying to your calls and texts

I may come across as indifferent
But my third eye is going blind
I'm losing my mind's vision
I'm unaligned with my body and mind
My thought and feelings are disconnected

I'm pretending to be okay, but I'm not
