Mark your calendars, folks! On this fine September 13th, Italian progressive post-rock band STRANIA has officially dropped their latest single, ‘Metempsychosis’, featuring the talented guest vocalist Mattia Braghero. This mystical track is a taste of what's to come from their upcoming debut album “Acceptance”, set to land later this Fall via Diotima Records. Ready to take a deep dive into their unique sound? Well, buckle up!
The band’s description of the song? It’s no ordinary forest walk, that’s for sure:
"Metempsychosis" tells the tale of an elderly man wandering deep into the woods, preparing to reunite with Mother Nature in his final moments. As he ventures further, the trees—holding the souls of those who came before him—begin to watch. It’s a powerful, eerie farewell, where the boundaries between life and death blur, and the forest welcomes him home."
Pretty wild, huh? It’s like Avatar meets The Giving Tree, with a side of existential dread.
Okay, seriously, how hauntingly beautiful are those lyrics? It’s like reading the final chapter of a fantasy novel where you know things won’t end well but you can’t stop turning the pages! We’re talking deep, reflective, almost spiritual stuff. And don’t even get me started on how those post-rock melodies just hit you in the feels.
STRANIA’s much-anticipated debut album “Acceptance” has finally wrapped up production, and fans are buzzing. Independently produced at Giacomo Salani’s “La Fucina” studio in Empoli, this record features five intricately composed tracks, written between 2021 and 2023. The band’s secret weapon? They collaborated with four different guest singers—each adding their own unique flavor to this project. That’s right, folks, it’s not just one voice guiding you through this album’s landscape—it’s a whole choir of vibes.
But wait, there’s more! The album didn’t just come together overnight. The guys have been locked in the rehearsal room, sometimes for entire days (seriously, that’s some dedication!), making sure every note, every riff, every vibe was spot-on. Craftsmanship at its finest, I’d say.
Meet the Band: A Mix of Minds and Melodies
STRANIA was born back in the summer of 2019, in the beautiful province of Florence. What began as a trio—Andrea Borgioli (guitar), Mattia Nicolini (guitar), and Giacomo Bracci (drums)—later evolved into the four-piece lineup we know today, with the addition of Jacopo D’Arpino on bass. And man, has this crew crafted something special!
Now, here’s the kicker: their musical backgrounds? Totally different. You wouldn’t expect it, but that’s where the magic happens. They’ve found their sweet spot in post-rock, a genre that lets them go wild with creativity, bouncing ideas around until they strike gold. Every single track is born from this collective process—whole days spent jamming, refining, and perfecting until it’s just right.
So, What’s Next for STRANIA?
Well, the band’s not done surprising us just yet. They’ve promised more exciting news in the coming weeks. Who knows what else they’ve got up their sleeves? Tours? More singles? The anticipation is real, people!
