A Defiant Cure

Description

Two years after Void Of An Era, Alta Rossa is back with 'A Defiant Cure'. Between massive riffs, dark atmospheres, and moments as cathartic as they are apocalyptic, this is an oppressive journey in which only hope and rage are the keys to a more virtuous future. A sonic experience that finds its essence in a violent and cold post-metal infused with the darkness and melancholy of a raw sludge. Where its predecessor aimed to be a brutal reaction to the void of its time, 'A Defiant Cure' symbolizes that all despair can be tamed, saturated, and sublimated, that all obscurantism can be defeated with a common, formless, and unpredictable rebellion. For Alta Rossa, this second album is more optimistic, as if to mark an evolution in mindsets and the rage to overcome. Its ten tracks tackle what we all accept as normality, a banality of evil that imposes itself at the expense of complex thought and a rich, elusive world. An intellectual struggle that resonates with this phrase from the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci: "The old world is dying, the new world is slow to appear, and in this chiaroscuro, monsters emerge." For fans of CONVERGE, CULT OF LUNA, WILL HAVEN, A LIFE ONCE LOST.
