SIGILLUM S\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cABORTED TOWNS, THE DEADLY SILENCE BEFORE UTOPIA\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n SIGILLUM S, have been covering unknown territories among extreme electronics, fringe acoustics and occultist\u00a0noise since 1985, with an original line up\u00a0of\u00a0Eraldo Bernocchi, Paolo\u00a0L.\u00a0Bandera\u00a0and Luca Di Giorgio\u00a0having now\u00a0morphed\u00a0into the current formation, where Eraldo and Paolo have been joined by Bruno Dorella,\u00a0with Petulia Mattioli\u00a0taking care of visuals,\u00a0while\u00a0many other friends and collaborators\u00a0have\u00a0contributed\u00a0at different level\u00a0through history.<\/p>\n They\u00a0have been continuously developing\u00a0their own special brand of post-industrial audio\u00a0investigations, employing\u00a0sound as a tool for mapping of the subconscious\u00a0and a reconfiguration of cognitive processes.<\/p>\n The result has been an endless\u00a0series\u00a0of mutations, where,\u00a0from the droning ritualism\u00a0and ethnic explorations\u00a0of the\u00a0late \u201880s\u00a0through\u00a0the surreal science fiction soundtracks of the \u201890s\u00a0to the super deep\u00a0complexity of the new millennium, SIGILLUM S have been constantly evolving, crashing their way through a few tens of releases in all\u00a0media\u00a0and feeling particularly at home on the stages of the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The latest\u00a0configuration\u00a0is digging profoundly in\u00a0an ever-changing continuum of harsh, irregular\u00a0beats and sudden shift in experimental atmospheres, with an intrinsic penchant for unique graphic \/ video representation,\u00a0mixed\u00a0with crazed theories and overblown textual philosophies of all kinds: a current obsession for space travel and apocalyptic utopia makes for a very dangerous, but very rewarding listening experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n 2025 marks the 40^ anniversary of the project,\u00a0and it\u00a0is\u00a0celebrated with a brand-new album \u201cABORTED TOWNS, THE DEADLY SILENCE BEFORE UTOPIA\u201d,\u00a0released\u00a0on\u00a0May\u00a09, 2025,\u00a0by SUBSOUND in a variety of formats.<\/p>\n As customary,\u00a0\u201cABORTED TOWNS\u2026\u201d\u00a0defines a new phase for SIGILLUM S, where movie-like harmonic structures interact with multiple layers of subterranean rhythms and profound drones, targeting a stark feeling of cultural anguish and belief suspension, while waiting for the future\u00a0of urban environments\u00a0to reveal itself.<\/p>\n Through ten tracks of chameleonic shape, noise peaks shift into overwhelming\u00a0tales of disjointed architecture and ghostly melodies, narrating an oblique and unprecedented version of the SIGILLUM S canon.<\/p>\n This\u00a0new\u00a0full-length production will be accompanied\u00a0by\u00a0a number of selected live appearances throughout Europe (including headlining\u00a0with an exclusive set\u00a0the Dresden TOWER TRANSMISSIONS\u00a0festival on September 13, 2025), together with\u00a0a couple of\u00a0special and\u00a0limited additional releases\u00a0(further\u00a0details to follow).\u00a0<\/p>\n May 2025<\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/f4.bcbits.com\/img\/a1473631703_10.jpg\")
