about

[KHS 004]

Metzengerstein is a Tuscany-based trio including members of art collective Ambient-Noise Session who had their debut tape Albero Specchio released by Expo 70 Justin Wright’s Sonic Meditations back in 2013 (and recently on wax by HARSH). Alchemy To Our Days is a brand new sixtrack album where the band explores hallucinating sounds and ritual, mythological abstractions even deeper. Featuring field recordings from the Temple in Jerusalem collected by Giovanni Lami, sax incursions by Virginia Genta from Jooklo Duo and trumpets by Marco Baldini, Metzengerstein have achieved one more intoxicating work able to convey primordial and mystical feelings, wisely manipulating the tools of kraut rock, space rock and psychedelia.
Originally released on cassette by Yerevan Tapes, Alchemy To Our Days will be out on wax by Kohlhaas on September 2015 featuring a new cover artwork by italian artist Moallaseconda.

Metzengerstein is
Devid Ciampalini (bass guitar, crumar, percussions, voice)
David Lucchesi (guitar)
Federico Luti (drums)

This album is still the best example of the Italian underground experimental scene, as well as nailing the whole "Italian Occult Psychedelia" aesthetic. This has to be one of the most underrated albums of the 2010s. ALWAYSmusic

If you were in an industrial accident in the rubber bullet factory at which you are a shift supervisor, but for whatever reason that particular day you decided to use all your braided rawhide leather belts to sandwich pillows around your body instead of wearing clothes to work, and by so doing you survive the accident... this is that, but more guitar-forward. woe_bonnet

I was on a train travelling to Seefeld in Austria and had nothing but the Alps to look over from the windows. This was a perfect compliment to the environment I was in Robert A Johnson
