Progressive experimental masters NERO DI MARTE have released a performance video for the songs "L’Arca" and "Sisyphos" from their livestreamed Roadburn Redux set! This was the first time the band played live in their brand-new line-up that includes guitarist Alessio Cattaneo and bassist Georgio Figà Talamanca. NERO DI MARTE’s set during the online festival can be viewed HERE.
The band comments: "We're happy to publicly share the set we recorded for Roadburn Redux 2021... Even if the experience was online, it was an awesome event which brought us together by sharing new, forward thinking music. It was an honor to be a part of it. We're now hard at work on new material in the hope that things will open back up soon."
The tracks were taken from the band's 2020 opus, 'Immoto,' which can be streamed, downloaded, and purchased HERE.
Since 2012, NERO DI MARTE have been devoted towards creating experimental, yet heavy music contaminated by prog, death metal, psychedelia and contemporary classical music. The dissolution of these different influences creates a space in which dissonance, melody, claustrophobic and dreamlike atmospheres become instinctively juxtaposed.
After forming in 2012 and shortly after releasing their self-titled debut album 2013, NERO DI MARTE was asked by the mighty Luc Lemay of GORGUTS to tour North America with the legendary death metal band. Following the success of the tour, the band entered the studio in 2014 to record their second album "Derivae", released later that year.
Both albums received critical acclaim, and the band dedicated the following years to performing live, culminating in a European tour with GORGUTS and PSYCROPTIC in 2016 and performances in festivals such as Royal Metal Fest (DK), Stonehenge Fest (NL), Metalorgie Fest (FR), Krakatoa Fest (IT) and Solo Macello Fest (IT).
With drummer Marco Bolognini leaving in late 2016, the band recruited drummer Giulio Galati (HIDEOUS DIVINITY) in early 2017 to continue composing their third album. After 5 long years of work and transformations, the band finally completed writing and recording their upcoming album 'Immoto' once again at Studio73 (IT) with the help of sound engineer Riccardo Pasini.
Though not a "concept album", as each song goes into a very specific and unique direction both musically and lyrically, there is an overall underlying theme in 'Immoto': creating a motionless, transformative space within ourselves from which creativity, actions and relationships can manifest in a more meaningful way.
