Clash (true name still unknown, born on July 12, 1984) is an Italian musician and producer, best known as the current lead vocalist/lead guitar player and principal songwriter of alternative metal band Axotalic. He is known for his love of experimentation, even changing radically the music he's playing. He's got a distinctive low pitched vocal style that he alternates with growl or even screams.
Axotalic[]
He started with Axotalic since its inception in 2005, being known as "Matt" (he stated sometimes that the fact that he named himself Matt for that period doesn't mean that his name is Matt. He used that name just because the bass player and the rhythm guitar player were known as Jeff and Lita, so they suggested to pick Matt, so they can have the names of the three wrestlers that formed the stable of the Hardy Boyz in WWE).
He always took lead guitar duties and during the Black Fire period he used only harsh vocals. During the progression of the career (especially with their Panic Attacks album) he developed an interest of using growl vocals and had some lessons to learn it. He first used growl vocals in their 2008 album Blizzard.

- He will marry Giulia, a girl he met during his high school years, "very very soon" as he said. No date is actually known.
