Following the reissue of the 2021 EP “I Fall With The Saints” and after their appreciated latest album “Fanciulli D’Occidente” (released in 2024 by our friends at Dusktone), the italian Avantgarde Black Metal outfit LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST comes back with a new short but yet ambitous work, titled “I Rise With The Dead”.
Although featuring only two tracks, LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST felt the need to tackle the composition of a 12-minutes long, atmospheric and wide-ranging piece – “Gioia e Pianto alle Teste dei Leoni” – trying to maintain the same intensity and ferocity of the latest album, although broaden its spectrum by creating more persistent and less rapidly changing musical scenarios.
The focal themes on which the lyrics are built around are the revival of vitalistic values, the transience of vigor and beauty, and the poison of Christianity; the nostalgia, contempt, and rejection that blacken fragments of dreamlike and symbolic visions (the lions’ heads, simulacra of life cycles [predators – themselves prey – trophies] and testimonies of a dead but not defeated time).
The expressive center is thus settled on the tone of a funeral lament, a determined and vengeful lament, a cry of war and pain, a laughter that promises blood; a memory remains, in closing: the natural childhood of a lost world, of a dried-up source.
For fans of Spite Extreme Wing and Ved Buens Ende.
