While his new album, A Defiant Cure, will be released next Friday by Source Atone Records, Alta Rossa offers a second preview: "From This Day On". More direct, more "hardcore" in the soul and more sludge than "The Art Of Tyrant #SlashTheMinotaur", this title is illustrated by a raw and frontal clip. The sound and the video can be discovered below and the rest on November 22.
Alta Rossa - "From This Day On"
"From This Day On" is a double interpretation of concepts inspired by Nietzschean nihilism. It proposes a struggle between a more social and emancipatory vision of the will to power and the
growing forces of a perverse individualism, touching on an egotistical society . The objective is to show that, beneath the rage and anger, there is much more hope for the common good than hatred
of a beyond.
Alta Rossa is a sound experience that finds its essence in a violent and cold post-metal infused with the darkness and melancholy of a raw sludge . Two years after Void Of An Era , the band is
back with A Defiant Cure . Between massive riffs, dark atmospheres and moments as cathartic as apocalyptic, this one is an oppressive journey in which only hope and rage are the keys to a more
virtuous future. Where its predecessor wanted to be a brutal reaction to the emptiness of its time, A Defiant Cure symbolizes the fact that all despair can be tamed, saturated and
sublimated, that all obscurantism can be defeated with the help of a common, formless and unpredictable rebellion.
For Alta Rossa this second album is more optimistic, as if to mark an evolution in mentalities and the rage to get out of it. Its ten titles tackle what we all accept as normality, a banality of
evil that imposes itself to the detriment of complex thought and a rich and elusive world. An intellectual struggle that finds echo in this phrase from the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci:
“The old world is dying, the new world is slow to appear and in this chiaroscuro monsters emerg.”
