Alessandro Brivio ~ 2:25

Grief comes in multiple shapes and forms. None of them are pleasing to the eye or the ear. On 2:25, Alessandro Brivio confronts loss as a system under stress, short-circuiting in real time. The cover image—a specular photograph of graffiti

Firas Shehadeh ~ Depth Map

Firas Shehadeh’s Depth Map transforms noise music into an act of forensic listening. Where 2025’s The Heaviest Shrouds Are The Smallest Ones unfolded like splinters of raw grief and collapse, Depth Map feels colder, more systematic: an attempt to trace

Penelope Trappes ~ OPVS NOVUM: A Requiem Reworked

A Requiem is the gift that keeps on giving.  First came the exquisite parent album, followed on Halloween by the companion piece Æternum, and now a reworked version that in many cases completely transforms the original versions, making OPVS NOVUM: A

Metastasis ~ Dineba

Metastasis move through sound as if traversing an unstable dimension, where compositions emerge as temporary formations within a larger sonic flow.

Francesco Pellegrino ~ Wartime Monk

Francesco Pellegrino’s Wartime Monk emerges from a space where abstraction can no longer remain insulated from reality. Framed by the return of war as both lived condition and conceptual rupture, the album translates this pressure into a physical language: sound

Nicolas Remondino ~ Hìeratico

On Hìeratico, Nicolas Remondino approaches sound as both matter and invocation, shaping an album that exists in a state of charged duality—light and darkness, presence and absence, the sacred and the material. Contrasting tendencies are constantly at play, balancing control
