Background information about 'Dreaming The Strife For Love'

With their new sophomore album "Dreaming The Strife For Love," the Italian band Bedsore dives headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 70s. Inspired by the enigmatic Renaissance book "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili," the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion undergo trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols.

An emerging and operatic aura surrounds "Dreaming The Strife For Love," from its lengthier compositions and spacious production to its extravagant and diverse instrumentation, featuring 12-string guitars, abundant synthesizers, Mellotron and organs, fretless bass, drums, and horns. The dynamic range of the album encompasses the essential elements of prog-rock's sublime imagination. While Bedsore's progressive side is given more room to unfold, their death metal roots remain present in the DNA. Jacopo Gianmaria Pepe's tortured screams thread through the album like a red line, while manic dark-death and blackened metal riffs integrate more deftly than ever into the mix. The result is an album that doesn't feel like two separate records but offers coherence for both forms to create a surreal, reality-altering immersion all its own.
