about

A new EP.
Thanks to all those who have supported me over the years and a new evolution in the band's sound.
The first track makes this evolution evident in comparison with "The Void Trilogy" and with everything that has been done up to this moment.
The second track, in addition to highlighting this evolution, is also a tribute to Classic Doom, starting from Black Sabbath and passing through Saint Vitus, Candlemass, etc.

I also take this opportunity to take stock of the situation regarding my band: Anyone who listens to my music and follows my work knows well that the previous album Norma Evangelium Tenebris was released by the label Dusktone. The contract with this label included one further album. But the owner of the label, instead of assuming his job responsibilities, preferred to blame me for his lost sales. He accused me of not having done enough promotion of the album, when in fact the promotion of a new release is a fundamental aspect of a label's work.
Of course, a band also has its interest in promoting its work, but all this is in addition to the primary work of the labels. If that wasn't the case, what would be the point of signing to a label?

As many of you already know, I am a disabled person. I have pathologies that severely limit my living conditions.
I have little energy that I prefer to use to compose my music, my only personal vent, rather than using my little strength in activities that would only be stressful.
I had immediately spoken about this with the owner of Dusktone, who however was evidently not interested in the matter.
Therefore, after yet another cause of stress (Dusktone was not the first label with which I had mobbing problems regarding my psycho-physical conditions), I told the owner that I was tired of this situation and that he could also terminate the contract. And so it was.

So the current situation is this: The new album is ready. I felt great satisfaction in composing the new songs, which have very varied arrangements.
I also had the pleasure of collaborating with other musicians from different musical and cultural backgrounds, who contributed with their talent to the success of this new venture.
Among these I would like to particularly thank Justin Hartwig of Mournful Congregation, for being a great friend and mentor, as well as a real emotional support in times of difficulty.

Therefore, if any serious and motivated label wishes to collaborate with me to release this album, I invite them to come forward and contact me.
I will patiently await this possibility until the end of the current year 2023. Anyone who contacts me via the Bandcamp page will be welcome.
If not, I will release the album in digital format during the year 2024 and continue in this way producing new material over time.
This is because, I repeat once again, for me Art is more important than profit, and this will always come before everything else.
This is not to say that I will sell out my compositions, but rather that I will never compromise and ruin my art, just to make a label happy.
