Amusia, by Asofy

Amusia

by Asofy

supported by

spawnofchaos An odd, eclectic, doom album with a sprinkle. death/black influences. Low tempo and very enjoyable. Favorite track: Distonia.

Obstacle of Affliction One track in and already my mind has been blown away, fluttering high amongst the angry gray clouds.
Superb! Favorite track: Allucinazione.

Jono Schneider I just love Asofy. The music is simultaneously lovely and terrifying, beautiful and evil. Always sounds like spirits are in there too.

about

Asofy is the solo-project of Italian multi-instrumentalist Tryfar, a professional graphic designer based in Milan. Deeply tied to Avantgarde Music, Asofy has been part of our roster since sophomore album Percezione (2013), and Amusia is their fourth full-length studio record to date.

Amusia finds its roots in the pages of Oliver Sacks’s Musicophilia, a book where the late neurologist descants several disorders and their connections to music. Asofy expands such concept exploring the implications on a social scale, questioning relationships and sensorial perceptions.

As a result, Amusia is a free broadening of the concept of amusicality in today’s society, even touching the acceptation of lack of empathy. Lyrics are mostly borrowed from Joris-Karl Huysmans’s À Rebours, as Tryfar says “Huysmans uses way more effective and peculiar words to express such feelings”.

With the whole booklet crafted by Tryfar himself from scratch, from pictures to layout, Amusia is a complete and full immersion into Asofy’s world, where music is paramount and its absence means darkness.

Amusia will be out on May 15th, 2020, on a limited CD pressing only.

Fantastic album,its "abandon all hope & integrity" in musical form. You can listen to it,hit repeat and still be entertained all day. Heavy flow of melodies & screams, the tracks don't drag or have any filler that won't belong. If you like DSBM you'll enjoy this Tleilaxu

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

probably some of the most emotional depressive music i've ever heard, each chord washing over you like waves of depression. NONE is an incredible band and this is absolutely their best to date, in both song writing and mixing. mandybb
