Limited edition LP in Gold Nugget Vinyl.

Background information about 'Dreaming The Strife For Love'

With their 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 mysterious Renaissance book "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili," the album musically weaves concepts of love as a battleground where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols. An ascending and operatic aura envelops "Dreaming The Strife For Love," from its longer compositions and spacious production to its extravagant and diverse instrumentation, including 12-string guitars, ample synthesizers, Mellotron and organs, fretless bass, drums, and horns; the album's dynamic range encapsulates essential elements of the sublime imagination of prog-rock. While Bedsore gives more room for their progressive side to unfold, the death metal fundamentals remain present in their DNA. Jacopo Gianmaria Pepe's tortured screams thread through the album like a red line, with manic dark-death and blackened-metal riffs seamlessly integrating into the whole. The result is an album that does not feel like two separate albums within one but instead provides coherence for both forms to create a surreal, reality-altering immersion that is entirely its own.
