SIGILLUM S return with a new album!
On May 13th, 2022, Subsound Records are releasing “Coalescence Of Time: Other
Conjectures On Future”, the brand new SIGILLUM S album, on vinyl, following a very limited
(and totally sold out) early 2021 pre-release on cassette via Hospital Productions in the US.
Thirty-five years since formation, SIGILLUM S have been further developing their fascination for
huge scale temporal events, dealing with extreme sensorial mutation as interpretative key for
epochal changes in culture fabric: with a current line-up where the original founders, Eraldo
Bernocchi and Paolo L. Bandera, are now permanently augmented by Bruno Dorella, they have
created a telluric amalgam of endless electronic layers, spiked with absurdist melodies and
punishing wavelengths. Uniting with the philosophic concept exploring the nature of human and
artistic being, SIGILLUM S speak of their new work the following way:
“With this new album, we are proposing to study a new historical growth model, where all categories
of unconventional communication are coalescing in a critique of linear thought…” – notice the
members of SIGILLUM S: “Our ambition is to provide endless positive examples for further
conjectures on the end of time, with guidance for future research, random cycles and fragmentation
chains…”
In a way, many references from the SIGILLUM S past (occultist atmospheres, dystopian sci-fi movie
soundtracks, super deep bass foundations, disturbing exoticism) seem to lurk in the shadows to
contribute to a fully contemporary work, rich in profound sensations and conceptual assault.
According to Davide Cantone, the head of Subsound Records, the newest release is not much an
LP but: “A true post-industrial mirror of this unsettling period and an inebriating platform for societies
to come.”
A strongly irregular, but still heavily hypnotic, rhythm-driven, Coalescence Of Time:
Other Conjectures On Future leaves space for sudden eruptions, sidereal noises and words from
secretive incantations.
The artwork for this fully-fledged new edition has been completely re-engineered by Petulia
Mattioli, together with dedicated mastering by Eraldo Bernocchi: the album is available in 300
copies on 100 colored vinyl and 200 black vinyl.
