Acclaimed Italian atmospheric/progressive metal quartet NERO DI MARTE will release their sophomore effort Derivae via Prosthetic Records on Oct. 27 (UK/EU), Oct. 28 (North America) and and Nov. 1 (G/A/S).
Derivae consists of seven aggressive yet ethereal tracks which the band describes as “claustrophobic, hypnotic, dark, and tragic,” which contribute to the album’s overall theme of being lost and letting go, allowing ones’ self to be swayed by the unknown. Having spent three years perfecting the album, NERO DI MARTE returned to Studio73 (Ephel Duath, Void of Sleep), where they recorded their acclaimed self-titled debut, with Riccardo “Paso” Pasini to record Derivae using only analog without any sort of digital post-processing or drum triggers in order to expand the dynamics in the band’s playing.
Derivae Track Listing:
1. L’Eclisse
2. Clouded Allure
3. Pulsar
4. Dite
5. Simulacra
6. Il Diluvio
