ALBUM COVER: Notturno - Inside

July 31, 2023

The followup to Notturno's 2022 debut Obsessions is fast approaching...

On October 6, we will release Notturno's follow-up album, entitled Inside

Today, we present the delectable cover art featuring the beautiful Petra Adranno, and this Friday we will release the first song from the new record and launch pre-orders for the Digipack CD and Limited LP

Album notes:

Notturno is an Italian depressive black metal project headed by Vittorio Sabelli (Dawn of a Dark Age, Incantvm, A.M.E.N).

The rich textures and nocturnal mood of the debut remains but on Inside the sound is developed further with some elements that weren't present previously, crafting an enveloping soundtrack to despair through the use of buzzsaw guitars, haunting piano, and even orchestral instruments that blend seamlessly and float in and out as required creating droning introspection and emotional crescendos in equal measure. As with on Obsessions, this structure serves as the base for the exasperated and desperate vocals of Kjiel (Eyelessight), this time around being joined by a guest vocalist (to be named later).

Inside will be released on Hypnotic Dirge Records as the autumn ushers in the sweet respite from the oppressive summer heat, coming October 6, 2023.

Tracklist:

1 - Peace (2:38)

2 - Autumn Leaves (9:16)

3 - Obsessions (8:35)

4 - Once Again (7:32)

5 - No Passion (8:52)
