That’s awesome. I consider myself a metal head, and I had never heard of this band. Good stuff.
These guys rock as well. I don’t understand Italian, but I “get it” ;)

REad Camp of the Saints.
Wikipedia description:
he Camp of the Saints is a novel about population migration and its consequences. In Calcutta, India, the Belgian government announces a policy in which Indian babies will be adopted and raised in Belgium. The policy is reversed after the Belgian consulate is inundated with poverty-stricken parents eager to give up their infant children.
An Indian “wise man” then rallies the masses to make an exodus to live in Europe. Most of the story centers on the French Riviera, where almost no one remains except for the military and a few civilians, including a retired professor who has been watching the huge fleet of run-down freighters approaching the French coast.
The story alternates between the French reaction to the mass immigration and the attitude of the immigrants. They have no desire to assimilate into French culture but want the goods that are in short supply in their native India. Although the novel focuses on France, the rest of the West shares its fate.
Near the end of the story the mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three families from Harlem, the Queen of the United Kingdom must agree to have her son marry a Pakistani woman, and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of thousands of Chinese people as they swarm into Siberia. The one holdout until the end of the novel is Switzerland, but by then international pressure isolating it as a rogue state for not opening its borders forces it to capitulate.
Thanks, but no. Vinci (Italian nuclear engineer) penned a piece about it for Aeon, December 2001, (Volume VI, No.2). Edo Nyland also tried to popularize the notion. The Odyssey is an ancient romance novel with a metered beat to it, so it's much more likely that it was written by a woman, as Samuel Butler had it. Regardless, it's a work of fiction, so looking for the "real" location is pointless.
