Background information about 'Something To Pierce'

Following their well-acclaimed 'Firescorched' released in 2022, Sadist returns with 'Something To Pierce' — a harrowing journey into the realms of aggression and experimentation. This tenth album by the Italian progressive death metal pioneers is an audacious blend of technique and raw power that edges closer to defining a unique musical style. The band continues its legacy of pushing boundaries with jazz-inflected epic prog-death enriched by Middle-Eastern influences. Recorded at Nadir Music Studios by mastermind Tommy Talamanca, the album's artwork was crafted by Andreas Christanetoff of Armaada Art.

Emerging from Genoa in the early nineties, Sadist quickly became synonymous with innovation within the then-evolving progressive death metal scene. After a brief hiatus (2000-2005), they returned to their roots yet continued to explore new sonic territories. Known for sharing stages with icons like Iron Maiden and Slayer, Sadist has consistently maintained a strong presence in the metal community. Their latest offering promises an aggressive yet experimental soundscape that is as divisive as it is captivating: "Like it or not, nobody sounds like Sadist!"
