about

A Darker Shade of Pagan (podcast) 2011 Top-10:
#2 The Italian band Atrium Animae was formed in 2007, their name is “considered as a symbolic representation of the passage from physical world toward an immaterial world.” The heavenly soprano of Alessia Cicala, a member of the band Chirleison, partnered with the compositions of Massimiliano Picconi, together create music on their debut Dies Irae that is stately in its atmosphere, a sacred enveloping that is almost funerial in outlook. Or as the band’s promotional material puts it: “A symbolic voyage in a silent wasteland made of treachery, defeat and spiritual hunger. A world where the locked embrace of loss and despair are represented through a reinterpretation of passages taken from religious and pagan texts.” Sublime, and an excellent addition to the genre of neoclassical darkwave.

══════════════════════════════════════════

Symphonic, neoclassical, heavenly voices with strong influences from classical and spiritual music -- artists and composers such as early-period Dead Can Dance, Arvo Part, Giacinto Scelsi, Stoa and Arcana.

Atrium Animae is a hermetic project distinguished by dusky atmospheres and a mesmeric journey into a world of submission and desperation. In the full-length concept album Dies Irae, the recurring theme within the seven tracks is the relationship between Man and God as a symbolic voyage in a silent wasteland made of treachery, defeat and spiritual hunger. A world where the locked embrace of loss and despair are represented through a reinterpretation of passages taken from religious and pagan texts.

Mesmerized by the sirens

supported by 13 fans who also own “Dies Irae”

Black Tape For A Blue Girl's second album from 1988 travels along a dreamy ethereal path, an early blueprint for the Darkwave ideal. Even after all these years it remains an excellent album, a cherished favorite in the Black Tape For A Blue Girl collection... rikm

Halo Star
by Black Tape For A Blue Girl

supported by 12 fans who also own “Dies Irae”

On "Halo Star", Black Tape for a Blue Girl embrace a dark cabaret style, infusing the album with the sound of smoke-filled bars and opulent lounges. It's a richly textured album, particularly highlighted by the emotionally charged vocals of Audra's Bret Helm and the ethereal stylings of Elysabeth Grant. Definitely one of Black Tape for a Blue Girl's best releases, and this expanded edition offers a wealth of bonus tracks and rarities to add to your enjoyment of it. Highly recommended... rikm

I rarely like music with female vocals but this is excellent. None of the melisma that destroys most singing nowadays, no vibrato, just voice as instrument and very beautiful Chris Fox
