Metallurgical Fire
Melancholy and existential confusion in audio format. DSBM fans will appreciate this. Funeral doom fans also. It’s neither of them though.
Favorite track: Orizzonte.

The best way I can think of describing music like this is "loud ambient" -- essentially it uses the palette of modern metal to create sonic spaces that work equally well for immersive listening or as background. If you like this, definitely check out Insect Ark's brilliant album 'Portal/Well' which is what 'Nessun Luogo' reminded me of most strongly.
Favorite track: Infine.
Mike Liassides
It's proper, hauntingly atmospheric, meditative and gloomy mood music that allows you to take as much out of it as you want: a perfect soundtrack for dark days and long sleepless nights...

(italian) "Il quartiere dove abito non è un luogo ben preciso, non ha orizzonti, neppure io che ne parlo ho mai avuto un gran legame, anzi mi sono sempre sentito lontano, è stato un luogo solo legando il vissuto delle persone ad un territorio, la loro memoria, ed ora che anche queste persone stanno pian piano scomparendo tutto forse verrà cancellato.
(english)
“The area where I live is not a precise place, it has no horizons, neither me that I’m talking I’ve never had a particular attachment to it, conversely I felt far away, it has been a place just linking the living experience of people to the area, their memory, and now that also these persons are gradually disappearing all will probably be erased."
The project Asofy originated in 2000 formerly involving other people but substantially running around the main and now sole member Tryfar: a respected visual Artist, yet author of many music covers and artworks and books illustrations. As you probably imagine, characters like him, on the same line with geniuses like Costin Chioreanu, are to be considered unique and anarchists, and out of any laws of the music market.
Music is just one, and not the primary, of their needs to exploit their visions, therefore you will not find rules and clear music genres belongings
Asofy music is dark and melancholic, extremely non commercial and even uneasy.
We quote american monsters Lycia and the other italian weirdos Canaan as possible main references, but it is nearly impossible to cut a precise profile for their music. It is not doom, it is not black and not at all that generic “post” that nowdays is so cool to use as a tag for everything that’s a bit different.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf None, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
To me this is DSBM at it's best. calming, emotion filled riffs, vocals are a perfect blend between heart wrenching and eerie, and last but not least, the ATMOSPHERE. One of my absolute favorites for this sub genre The Laughing Stock
