Blastema, the next album imminent

“The time that will come” of the Blastema comes out in mid -March, 10 years after “Everything will end well”, their latest studio album of 2015.

What fascinates most, listening to it, is their subversive canon, their Ars, lyrical and sound. A constant emotional tension, an intimate and threatening trial capable of digging yourself inside, of making you cry, of making you feel bad, or shooting you on adrenaline barrels when you least expect them.

Already in “enlightened thoughts”, their debut album, all what would have been the trajectory to follow was sensed. Before Sanremo, before “the state in which I have been”, their greatest success, before returning to the primordial stadium, to the art of zero compromises, with the aforementioned last diptych that becomes Summa (momentary) of the Blastemapensiero, but also a prodrome of further future intuitions.

If there is a lesson to learn, in all this, it is that music needs time to be done properly. Of dedication. It needs shared and fire projects that burns you inside. Of lyrical alchemy to be interspersed with prodigious sounds. And that’s what happens on this album, a four acting score that proceeds in blocks of three songs at a time and that already at the first listening enchants you and seduces you. There is continuity, recognition, consistency with the past but, at the same time, also a clear vision of the Time that will come evoked in the title, of the possible evolutions of an artistic journey still in the making.

They slowed down the sounds. They renounced conventional rock. They opted for a project with a very precise chronology, as in the great concepts of the seventies, an armored succession where each note must be at the exact point in which it is placed, the same listening order that will be re -proposed live.

Among the 12 tracks “Gatsby” makes goosebumps, “Renato”, intense and beautiful, moves. But it is the whole album that gives non -obvious emotions, with a crazy graphic concept, numbered copies, limited, strictly in vinyl, the only physical support provided.

All different, built by hand and autographed.

And for the first live performance there is already a given event.

March 15, at the Vidia di Cesena.

I honestly can’t wait to listen to them.
