Necromass
๐Ÿ“€ Abyss Calls Life
#BlackMetal #DeathDoom #ProgressiveMetal

30 years ago Necromass, obscure underground band from #Florence, #Italy, released their 2nd studio album.

Their ๐Ÿ‘‰ 1994 debut, today considered an absolute Black Metal gem with possibly the most blasphemous lyrics, ended with a clean vocal semi-ballad, Death SS style (coming from Florence, surely one of their biggest influences).

In Abyss Calls Life #Necromass seem to pursue the evolution of sound started with that song, even delievering Progressive tracks like "Bloodstorm Collide", "A Serpent Is Screaming in the Abyss", with frontman Blasphemy now performing #DeathMetal vocals all through, alternating whispers and rare clean.

Black Metal Italian way ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

In this album:
#CharlesBlasphemy โ€“ vocals
#JCKerioth โ€“ guitar
#Nachzerehrmaraโ€“ guitar

๐Ÿ“Œ1986

Gigi Masin
๐Ÿ“€ Wind
#Ambient #AmbientPop #NewAge #ECMJazzStyle #PostMinimalism

40 years ago Gigi Masin from #Venice, #Italy composed his debut studio album.

Masin was a self-taught musician and composer, far from music business rules.
Wind was in fact not released and distributed, Masin printed few hundred copies for himself, some of which got destroyed after a flood. Those who wanted to buy Wind had to write him and possibly go to his house in Venice.

It became soon a cult album among musicians, artists like Bjรถrk and Nujabes often used samplings from it.

After many years Masin found out on the internet that the price for a copy of Wind had raised to 1000โ‚ฌ, he then decided to reprint and distribute the album for everyone to enjoy and afford.

In this album:
#GigiMasin โ€“ composer, producer, synthesizer, guitar, tapes, piano, vocals, bass, violin
#AlessandroMonti โ€“ bass, backing vocals, piano
#MarcoBarel โ€“ saxophone
#MassimoDonร โ€“ trumpet
