The album is inspired by the "mondo-movies" such as the cult-documentary of the 60s Mondo Cane by Paolo Cavara, and is full of quotations (expressed through the dialogue) that refer to the cynical atmosphere of these "mondo-movies," while there are also parts (Blue Song), which makes reference to melody.
There are no real songs, but short compositions alternating moments with heavy distorted guitar riffs and spoken parts which talk about the cynicism and violence of modern man—massacres of children, violence against women, politicians' abuses—while remaining far from political or religious ideologies.
After the release of Il Nuovissimo Mondo, Bologna Violenta went on a two-year tour which included one hundred and thirty dates, not only in Italy but also abroad.[3][4][5]
