December 2011

Since the release of Deconstructive in 2009 many things have changed within the band: new singer, new guitarist and keyboard player are kind of a big deal.

Mostly, our focus on this 3 years has been the composition and recording of the new album and the creation of a new balance between members of a changed formation. This made the whole process very long but at the same time satisfying and stimulating. Now that the music has been transferred from our heads to the record we can finally say that the hard work is over and the result reflects our expectations: 11 tracks that express our constant desire of never repeating ourself. The band has grown toghether with the music and every new member brought with him different musical perspectives that come from different musical backgrounds.

We tried to concentrate in one hour of music all our experiences as a band and single musicians between Flaws of Elation and the present day.

This new album is where we come from, what makes us what we are.

A new starting point.

During the last weekend of May, Titta finished to record the vocal lines for our new album. As promised he made an awesome work behind the mic. The so called sick-fest of vocal performances was incredibly stunning ! Here there are some titles of the songs that will be included in our third recording:
- Magnification of a daydream
- Eve
- Shipwrecked affair
- The starving litany
- Confessions of Riemann

Stay tuned for news !

May 2011

Happy to announce our appearance on the benefit album "Embrace the sun", released by Lion Music, with our unreleased song "Disappearance".

Lion Music's statement: "Dedicated to the victims of the Tsunami and Earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011. All artists and composers as well the record label and publishing company are donating their profits from the material included to the victims in hope of a better world. All profits will be donated to the Japan Red Cross.
We thank all involved for taking the time to give a little back to those that have lost so much in the aftermath of devastation in Japan. The response was simply overwhelming and we are proud to present this double CD 28 track album featuring many of the most popular acts on the Lion Music roster, along with some extra special guests.
All artists that appear on this benefit album have in most cases written and recorded their songs especially for ‘Embrace The Sun’, and in a number of cases these tracks represent the first recorded output with new band line-ups i.e. Ashent (new vocalist Titta Tani)... "

Ashent's statement :"When we listened to the terrible news about the earthquake and the tsunami that struck Japan, we felt very downhearted and troubled. After few days Lasse came out with the idea of releasing a benefit compilation in order to help the Japanese Red Cross and we immediately decided to join this venture, giving our contribution with an acoustic song.
To compose and record a brand new track in a couple of weeks is not simple, expecially during the recording sessions of a new album.
But everything came out very easily.
We decided to work in our home studios:
Onofrio composed the music and laid down the guitar tracks in a couple of days and Gilles did the same with the keys. Titta has been very inspired by the music and Davide felt very comfortable to write the lyrics. The song speaks about a faithful man waiting for a change in his life, but he sees his plans being cast away by a big tide.
The theme is very closed to Japan's tragedy.
Gianpaolo and Alessandro finally completed the work with their ideas and skills. We hope everyone will enjoy "Embrace the sun"."

In the meanwhile, we're completing the vocal's recording session for our 3rd album. Titta is making an amazing work, giving light to a sort of SICK-FEST of the VOCAL PERFORMANCES.
