About this product
Terminalia Amazonia is a new, subdued and momentous installment of Zu. The sound of a long, slow journey in pursuit of a moment. For the past four years the band's members have regularly visited an indigenous village on the Ucayali River close to the border between Peru and Brazil. They've immersed themselves in the local Shipibo-Conibo culture's ancient knowledge, teachings and rituals, some of which stretch back millennia. Zu's work started as a series of nightly field recordings of the culture's ceremonial healing songs, known as Icaros. Playing only vintage analogue synthesizers, Zu project dense, spectral layers of sound through damp rainforest atmosphere, weaving through sheltered gulleys and out into open glades, mottled with streaks of scattered light. Spontaneous and elaborate, grounded and transformative, the sound conveys it's shamanic intent, so immersing the listeners in the present moment that their surroundings will melt away. Album Tracks 1. Porta Arborea 2. Memoria Antica 3. Dimora Ancestrale 4. Futuro Remoto

Italian jazz metal trio Zu return with InchFerrum SidereumInch, an instrumental double album that continues their tradition of freely blending genres to fit their musical intentions. Their music combines the complexity of progressive rock, the grit of industrial, the precision of metal, the energy of punk, and the intelligence of jazz. The result is a sonic journey that is as cerebral as it is visceral, defying easy categorisation while remaining unmistakably Zu. InchFerrum SidereumInch, which translates from Latin as Inchiron of (or from) the starsInch refers to meteoric ore, which had a deep spiritual significance in ancient times and is contained in such artifacts as Egyptian ritual objects with Tutankhamun's meteoric iron dagger as the best known example or in some Tibetan InchPhurpaInch blades. Iron coming from the stars forms the elemental base that shapes Zu's otherworldly narrative on this album. The trio spent over a year refining this proliferating 80-minute epic through relentless rehearsals and live studio recordings in the city of Bologna. It soon emerged that the tracks had to be epic and needed space to live and breathe, meaning they would not conform to today's algorithm-driven norms. The last piece of the musical puzzle fell into place when three-time Grammy-winning sound engineer Marc Urselli expressed interest in recording and potentially producing Zu's next album through a mutual friend. This opportunity immediately caught the band's attention, as they had never worked with a producer and recognized the need for someone capable of guiding them to create an 80-minute album. Band and producer balanced raw intensity with refined production tweaks and textures. The result is a contemporary, rich, and immersive sound that defines InchFerrum SidereumInch. Zu were founded in 1999 and already released their debut full-length InchBromioInch the same year. T
