Nullaconta (“nothing matters” in Italian) is the brainchild of Italian artist Matteo Zanin. It’s a project born from deeply personal struggles and an unrelenting drive to transform pain into sound. Nullaconta's music blurs boundaries, mixing digital hardcore, electronic, and Harsh Pop to deliver raw, unfiltered emotions.

From 2019 to 2021, Matteo Zanin released several DIY EPs under various pseudonyms as part of an ongoing experimentation phase. Drawing from his hardcore punk background, he began incorporating screams into his music, and in 2022, he released the first demo under the name Nullaconta. This project quickly caught the attention of other artists, one of whom collaborated with Matteo to form the band Dell’Anima Nella Serpe, with whom they released an EP and a split album. The project had a two-year lifespan during which they played numerous live shows, including a self-organized European tour alongside the French experimental noise-screamo band Nuit Bleue.

Currently, Nullaconta is involved in other projects, including the raw acid house/hardcore outfit Culto Del Ratto (a collaboration with Leather Parisi) and the more experimental Ace Slut Recovery, which combines 80’s industrial, post-punk, and SOPHIE-like experimentations, all infused with Alex’s voice and poetry (known as Trielina for his punk rock/post-fetish vegan-leather fashion brand).

Tutto Nero (literally “All Black”), is an 8-track album that fully embodies Nullaconta’s emotional discomfort and personal struggles. It takes pop-like melodies and crushes them under layers of distortion and intense hardcore screaming, creating a unique and aggressive sonic landscape. The album explores the artist's most intimate challenges—depression, anxiety, and frustration with years of failed therapy and treatments. Through this project, Nullaconta has crafted his own genre: Harsh Pop, blending accessible melodies with overwhelming, cathartic noise.

Release date: January 20th, 2025.
