Cosmic Putrefaction – Emerald Fires Atop The Farewell Mountains LP For Discount

Gabriele Gramaglia is back with his main solo output Cosmic Putrefaction for another chapter of his own tale under the banner Emerald Fires Atop The Farewell Mountains.

Taking place right after Crepuscular Dirge For The Blessed Ones, this latest takes the listener to an even deeper and ineluctable journey. Now that the empyrean inhabitants have fallen down for good and all the debris of the physical worlds are scattered around, the main character of the tale has to walk his very last path, counting only on his very last strengths to face eternal solitude and death—a path exploring both the widest astral distances imaginable and the most twisted labyrinths of the inmost self.

Musically speaking, the concept is depicted through an even broader palette of influences compared with its predecessor, ranging from the most hammering death metal riffs, to progressive veins and even shades of symphonic black metal, embraced through an almost omnipresent wide atmosphere and multilayered arrangements of distant guitars, cellos and synths. Giulio Galati (ex-Hideous Divinity, Nero di Marte) once again has teamed up with Gramaglia as a session drummer to complete his effort through an extremely powerful and dynamic performance behind the kit.
