Italian black/avant-architects Dawn Of A Dark Age will release the seventh album, Le Forche Caudine, on 24th September via Antiq. Dawn Of A Dark Age is the main project of the multi-instrumentalist Vittorio Sabelli, a classical and jazz musician who gave the clarinet a leading role for the first time in black metal. Its dark timbre, together with fierce blast beats and distorted guitars, allows exploration of new scenarios, from moments of pure madness to the most atmospheric dream-born soundscapes.
The last saga entitled The Six Elements (consisting of five CDs) has seen the collaboration of musicians from Selvans, Enisum, and Finland's Graveborne. After last year's La Tavola Osca, released by Antiq, Dawn Of A Dark Age now pursues a new saga of the Samnites. Titled Le Forche Caudine, the new album concept is based on the battle of the Caudine Forks and unfolds the event in music. Sometimes exploring the figurative music through soundscape and atmosphere, Dawn Of A Dark Age's new album is more direct, more brutal, and also more folk, having the jazz part only in some places. Consisting of two long tracks for a total of 39 minutes, it is more black metal-oriented, with some narration parts, and once again for the occasion, vocalist Emmanuele Prandoni joins the project, also performing the drums.
