Sardinia (Italy) based melodic doom/death metallers Apneica have released today a new EP, Pulsazioni...Conversione, as a self-release. It features four tracks of dark, atmospheric and melodic doom/death metal that should appeal to fans of bands like October Tide, early Katatonia, early Paradise Lost, Novembre, Daylight Dies and other similar acts. This EP is a huge alternation in bands style and music regarding their in 2011 released instrumental self-titled debut album. The mastermind Alessandro Seghene comments: "It took more than one year of hard work, but finally our EP has been released! We all had one of the best background music experiences ever, and such a great days during recording session and mixing."
If you wonder what the name Apneica means and stands for Alessandro explains: "Drawn on from apnea word trying of describing a mental/phyisical situation, where the human being, unsettled of living underwater, strain with movements, while mind that is blocked in the body, goes into stand-by due to immobility of it ever in the same place, flattening the reason and delimiting the action field. The person reached a stalemate. So the water as human being “journey” scenario. One of the essentianl natural elements most closer and older for humanity,also one of most eerie and of big charm. Apneica “Pulsazioni...Conversione” explains what happens next. MIND:after a long static period “off”,a spark of stimuli and pulsations arrive from an unknown and distant place. Some of them have been partially decoded. This period is quite an inspiration. THE BODY'S CONVERSION:a cyborg like body modification, enabling one to find the strength to swim to the surface and take in a much needed breath. In his eyes the outside has changed. A future world, a new earth, the freedom of movement that allows him to parallel planets and dimensions while better bettering himself. The encounters of people and realities will lead him to a new beginning."
Apneica is a new player in the doom metal scene and they started it in a big way, decided not to be just one of many bands by trying to copy better known masters of the genre, but to deliver something original and that's also noted by using Italian language in meaningful lyrics. Still what does the whole EP stands for, "Pulsazioni...Conversione revolves around human beings life. Many people lose their path searching for new experiences, regardless of other lives", Alessandro continues, "Pulsazioni...Conversione is; to feel yourself pulsate for life, converting your body and mind into a new level of simple life, for a better life and habit".
EP is available for digital download since 7th August 2014 over at Bandcamp. Physical CD edition will be available very soon.
