Sonum - Visceral Void Entropy

Italian death metal. On this album Sonum's musical development has become more complex and intricate, and has culminated in tracks composed and assembled which drag the listener into an infinite oblivion - an abyss with no exit. The starting point is always death metal, but fearlessly draws on prog, moving away from the traditional stylistic elements of the genre. Obscurity, Rage, Dissonance, Doom - From a Death Metal base, exploring new dimensions of extreme Metal universe, feeding up sadness and wickedness... The line up is made up of experienced musicians who joined the project after years spent playing in other bands. After two EPs, (Monolithic 2020 and Divide et Impera 2021) in which the compositional approach and sound performances have evolved and matured, the character of the band finally takes shape on 9-track-debut album Visceral Void Entropy, The main influences are linked to bands such as Nero di Marte, Ulcerate, Deathspell Omega, Gorguts, Execration...but there are also references to other genres, like Doom/Psychrock for some atmospheres or Avant-garde classical music of Stockhausen, Penderecki and Mussorgsky in the orchestrations/arrangements and in the interludes.
