Gloom in the Corner - Royal Discordance - VINYL LP

With Storie di Napoli, la festa musicale now presents it's third production on AUDITE and approaches the varied and expressive Neapolitan baroque repertoire with an innovative approach. Sensual arias and virtuoso concerti by composers such as Alessandro Scarlatti, Francesco Mancini and Nicola Fiorenza combine in this concept album to create a sonic collage that tells Naples' best stories and pages from the Baroque heyday of what was then Europe's third-largest metropolis. These include an encounter with the seductive siren Parthenope, to whom the mythological foundation of the city goes back, a visit to Naples' multi-layered underworld with thoroughly surprising twists and turns, and the exuberant atmosphere of typical Neapolitan street life full of festivities and joie de vivre. Together with the young, promising soprano Maria Ladurner and under the direction of the renowned recorder player Barbara Heindlmeier, who is known for innovative concepts, la festa musicale treads a completely new path in this project.

The richness of color, the emotional density and the fast-moving contrasts of this repertoire are underlined by the baroque ensemble with variable instrumentation and - completely dedicated to the art of ornamentation and improvisation of the baroque - it's own contrib

Crafted with famous producer Nino Laurenne (AMORPHIS, ENSIFERUM, LORDI) in the prestigious Sonic Pump Studios (FINNTROLL, SONATA ARCTICA, OMNIUM GATHERUM), Lost Society's debut InchFast Loud DeathInch was ranked among the year's best releases of it's genre - despite all the outputs of seasoned long-established thrashers that followed. It was their fresh, catchy, highly energetic songs - forged in the fire of youthful passion under the sledge-hammer of boundless joy of playing, presented with a most likable winking snotty attitude - made LOST SOCIETY unrivalled, even in direct comparison with old hands of the scene. That's because the quintet adds pots of a special ingredient to it's creative work that many of the veterans have lost over the years pure heart's blood, overflowing with adrenaline.
