Italian psych-dark folk songwriter Nero Kane has shared the third video, "The Vale Of Rest", from his album Of Knowledge And Revelation, released last September in double vinyl and CD by Italian experimental label Subsound Records. The album achieved amazing Italian and international reviews, was included among the best record releases of 2022 and was described as a twilight, cathartic, ritualistic journey dense with melancholic beauty and carnal sacredness, solidifying a unique style and personality.
In Nero Kane's own words, "'The Vale Of Rest' is the non-place where the soul gets lost and wanders, a kind of Limbo inhabited by other souls, other voices and their sighs, the final landing place waiting for the longed-for light that may never come". The video is the third episode from the short film directed by Stella for the launch of the album, following the previous "Lady Of Sorrow" and "Burn The Faith": an oniric, circular journey between the Dantean circles in The Divine Comedy, depicted in Gustave Doré's engravings that served as inspiration for the album, Jodorowsky's mysticism and Lynch's mystery symbolism. The images linger hauntingly on the preacher Kane's wandering path through the "dark forest" formed by a blood-red garden of withered, thorny flowers, a recurring motif throughout the episodes.
After a first part of a European and UK tour in the fall of 2022, Nero Kane and Samantha Stella will be on stage together again next April for an Eastern European tour and present at several European festivals. On 11 February, at Teatro Linguaggicreativi in Milan, they will premiere "Tales Of Faith, Lunacy and Revelation", a poetry reading with excerpts from medieval mystic texts, live sonification, songs from the latest albums, and screening of Stella's experimental films.
