IL VUOTO es un proyecto de un solo miembro que tiene su base en la Plasencia italiana y que, tras algunas demos, publicó su primer álbum, titulado “Weakness”, en el año 2015, siendo el precedente más inmediato a este nuevo trabajo que tenemos entre manos, un segundo disco que ha editado el sello canadiense Hypnotic Dirge Records bajo el título de “Vastness”. Y aunque la etiqueta que suele aparecer ligada al proyecto sea la ...

Torna quattro anni dopo il precedente full length il musicista piacentino Matteo Gruppi (già noto per la sua altra incarnazione atmospheric black Chiral) con Vastness, seconda tappa su lunga distanza del suo progetto funeral doom Il Vuoto.

Se già in Weakness si era potuto costatare quanto la catalogazione in ambito funeral era per certi versi solo indicativa, poiché il sound spesso defluiva verso un avvolgente post metal mostrando ...

It is time to enter “the void” courtesy of Italian composer Matteo Gruppi el maestro behind everything we hear on Il Vuoto’s second full length album following on from ‘Weakness’ in 2015. We are informed that ‘Vastness is a painting of sorrow as experienced by four different states of mind,” no answers are really given as to what those states are and I guess that is left to the listener to interpret. They are presented over 5...

Il Vuoto is een soloproject van Matteo Gruppi. De Italiaanse multi-instrumentalist heeft nog twee soloprojecten, waarvan Chiral de bekendste is. Met Il Vuoto richt Matteo zich niet op black metal, maar op atmosferische funeral doom. Het centrale thema op Vastness, het tweede album, is verdriet. In iedere track wordt dat thema vanuit een ander perspectief benaderd. Je zou dus een zwaar, melancholisch album verwachten, maar dat valt best mee. D...

With his debut album, released back in 2015, the one-man band of Il Vuoto served up a powerful concoction of atmospheric funeral doom, with the art, titles, and music coming together in impressive union. The follow-up album has finally arrived, and with its hour's worth of material spread over five tracks, it certainly makes for a worthy succession.
The band's orchestrator, Matteo Gruppi, puts care and consideration into every part of...

Review from Ver Sacrum

Accade a volte che ti “perdi” qualcosa, e te ne rammarichi. Il Vuoto è un progetto che ha già all’attivo l’album “Weakness” del 2016, preceduto da una demo e da “Sensless painful lives in tears”, entrambi resi disponibili lo stesso anno; monicker che è il manifesto di Matteo Gruppi, la sua creatura sonora è diretta emanazione della sua personale visione del genere e dell’esistenza. Opera meritevole di attenzione, V...
