Composed of 8 songs for over 48 minutes of duration, “Withered Heart Standing” will easily enter the hearts of those loving Katatonia, Paradise Lost, and Swallow the Sun.

The band stated about “Liminal”:
“Each of us needs, more than ever in these years, to detach ourselves from the world to find our inner balance and soothe the wounds opened by a widespread lack of empathy. Liminal describes this inner journey that leads to the awareness that, even if there is no remedy for this situation, we cannot live peacefully without first forgiving ourselves, a fundamental step towards the in-depth knowledge of our deepest self.”
On “Withered Heart Standing” the lyrics are more intimate than ever, touching on very personal topics such as loss, the need for solitude and feelings of rejection, while the music has changed skin once again, becoming warmer and deeper to better tell the emotions that permeate these eight songs. Like a sonic needle that stitches the wounds of a bleeding heart.
“Withered Heart Standing” wasproduced by Valerio Rizzotti. Recorded, mixed and mastered between January and July 2024 at Elnor Studio by Mat Stancioiu. Photos by Mattia Stancioiu. Cover by Giulia Nasini.
