Burrowing into swirling, surreal and nightmarish scenarios, STRIGIFORM is a new entity from the void, exhibiting members of VERTEBRA ATLANTIS, AFRAID OF DESTINY and THIRST PRAYER, among the others. The Italian band's debut album, Aconite focuses on an intricate and incisive approach to songwriting, characterized by unorthodox riffs and a particular attention to the internal dynamics of the tracks, in order to maximize their impact. "As one could infer by delving into its sole musical realm, Aconite is a one-way invitation into a rapaciously inner-focused expedition, inside of which is contained the utmost degree of both psychological and emotional vehemence we could possibly muster," guitarist Saprovore explains. "Nearly half a decade was necessary for constructing and refining this entity. Letting it gush out of its womb feels like exposing internal organs and bones, as the artwork may suggest. Perhaps this could inspire your appetite." Produced by Gabriele Gramaglia (COSMIC PUTREFACTION, VERTEBRA ATLANTIS), who also plays solo on "Hypnagogic Allure," STRIGIFORM's Aconite is a testament to the vitality of the Italian underground metal scene, and in particular that dedicated to avant-garde and protean black/death metal.
