Album Notes & Community Reviews

Anchored by two massive, side-long suites, this theatrical masterpiece heavily integrates elements of traditional Neapolitan folk music into aggressive, shifting rock architectures. The jarring transitions from delicate acoustic interludes to chaotic avant-garde freakouts have cemented its reputation as a pinnacle of Italian progressive extremity.
