Italian Symphonic Death Metal maestros ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ are finally back with their brand new, 6th album titled ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐, a gut-wrenching musical journey inspired by the tragic mountain climbing accident occurred to their frontman and mastermind ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ผ๐น๐ถ, in 2021.
Due out ๐๐๐ด๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฑ via Nuclear Blast Records, the whole album is structured like a 10-act theatrical piece, as the title itself, โOperaโ, draws a clear thread with the everlasting tradition of Italian classical music theater combining it with the epic brutality of death and symphonic metal.
Mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป (Epica, Arch Enemy), Opera definitely marks another step forward for the band, incorporating new suggestions into that unique blend that ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ are renowned for: sheer violence, majestic orchestrations and soaring melodies. Such an ambitious endeavor called for an equally impressive artwork, a team effort between two arising Italian talents (artist extraordinaire ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ and visionary photographer ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ผ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ผ), following the path traced by baroque painters.
With this new record, ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ are setting the bar even higher than before, pioneering what looks like a completely new sub-genre that might be called โ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐นโ: an unprecedented mix of extreme music and theatrical elements.
