Release Notes:
An album that leaves the listener breathless with its dynamic compression: the
brute beauty of purely instrumental post-metal culminates in the 2nd album by
the band, founded in 2018, into a sound odyssey that combines everything that
makes this genre so fascinating. Named after a southern Italian crater
landscape, the 5 long tracks are the equivalent of an archaic, dreamlike volcano
ascent wrested from the forces of nature at the end of time. Once again recorded
exclusively with 2 guitars, bass and drums, the always overwhelming compositions
follow their own, above all always surprising logic, which charges the
arrangements with hypnotic ambient cascades, unpredictable tempo changes between
sludge and post-rock and cathartically powerful outbursts that turn the new
album into a self-confident, delicately crafted statement; the 15-minute opener
"Solfatara" alone is a tour de force of monolithic, heavy, smouldering beauty.
In its profound emotionality and subtle expansion of the sound spectrum, it is a
highlight of the genre this year.
