Wikipedia states the following:
Ammonia is a chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the chemical formula NH3. It is a colorless, water-soluble, and toxic gas with a strong pungent odor that irritates the eyes and can cause suffocation. Ammonia is an amphoteric substance: under aqueous conditions, it acts as a base. It forms several series of salts: the cationic ammonium salts as well as the anionic amides, imides, and nitrides, in which one (amides), two (imides), or all (nitrides) protons (hydrogen ions) are replaced by metal ions.
Ammonia is one of the most produced chemicals and a raw material for the production of all other nitrogen compounds. The majority of ammonia is processed into fertilizers, particularly urea and ammonium salts. Its production is almost exclusively carried out through the Haber-Bosch process from the elements hydrogen and nitrogen.
Biologically, ammonia plays an important role as an intermediate in the synthesis and degradation of amino acids. Due to the toxicity of larger amounts of ammonia, it is converted in the body into the non-toxic urea or, for example in birds, into uric acid for excretion.
All clear so far?
Don't worry, this won't continue with chemistry, although music always has to do with chemistry in some way. Either you like it, then the chemistry is right, or you don't like it, then it becomes corrosive and unbearable.
NH3 is a band from Italy. The seven men from Pesaro (Marche region) in central Italy have been making music for 11 years, and yet I only recently came across the band. Unfortunately, one must say, because what the band delivers with their current album deserves recognition.
If Banda Bassotti is not unfamiliar to you, you will quickly warm up to NH3.
NH3 sounds somewhat like Banda Bassotti does now, but with a bit more gas.
Punk rock, ska punk, reggae, and hardcore are the ingredients from which the 14 songs are made.
The band is clearly antifascist, loves old-school football (the song “Fuck Modern Football“ says it all), and loves what they do. You can hear that in every song.
NH3 is still an absolute insider tip. That should change with “Rise Up.“
That must change with “Rise Up!“ NH3 deserves it.
