DECALOGUE OF DARKNESS

After 4 years of silence italian Daal return, with two very different CDs, but complementary to their style, the first experimental and electronic, the second most "vintage" with dark and mysterious strokes, as always! Decalogue of Darkness is definitely part of their second soul, the one that gave us that beautiful CD "Dodecahedron" years ago, from which they resume and perfect the style and the compositions. We find ourselves in the presence of a cd divided into chapters (Like the Dodecahedron !!) this time 10 chapters, without any title or subtitle. this suggests that this CD is probably a concept album, and we can guess from the rich artwork that the themes are obscure, decadent, mysterious, almost horrifying, images of the booklet that perfectly match this soundtrack! the first 30 minutes of "Decalogue of Darkness" are sumptuous: From "Chapter I" to "Chapter IV" we probably have the compositional and emotional peak of the group, which had never pushed so strongly into progressive meanders, from the matrix so 'seventies and obscure, while we listen to the disk in the mind pass the images of the Roller's Goblin, the Darwin's Banco, Balletto and Metamorfosi."Chapter VI" draws poignant melodies, while "Chapter VII" is a dramatic nightmare. Perfect sounds, many vintage keyboards, and a very present mellotron, while the rhythm section supports the whole sound frame. The grand finale of "Chapter IX" and "Chapter X" seal one of the most beautiful records released in Italy in the last 10 years. To be reported "Navels Falling into a Living Origami", a second CD released simultaneously with this! - where a unique 50-minute suite shows an unpublished face of the group, with experimental, electronic, sometimes almost new age references, but nevertheless fascinating, from a group that never disappoints!!!
