Available from today June, 20th on all digital platforms, Stagno – in English, “Tin” – is resistance. It makes it through the world’s changes, like OvO during these years maintained its essence through a number of events and mutations, evolving but keeping their precise and fierce identity. Stagno is a mine that razes everything to the ground, with a tight industrial rhythm inspired by Ministry. The absolute protagonists are the dark guitar strings and the unmistakable vocals of Stefania Pedretti (Alos), in addition to the steamroller-like percussions of Bruno Dorella (Bachi da Pietra, Ronin, Sigillum S).
Stagno follows the previous single Opale, which immediately highlighted great spirit of contamination by hosting the abrasive voice of Martin Kaja aka Lord Spikeheart and took on a dance-like pulse, hinting at iridescent shades in the future of the duo, beyond any predetermined structure.
The music of OvO, already legendary in the vast landscape of noise rock, industrial metal, and avant-doom, continues in the sign of perpetual reinvention, seeking further synthesis between electronics and experimentation, connecting to their brave and acclaimed albums from the past few years, Miasma (2020) and Ignoto (2022). Each track from Gemma is like an act of creation, an alchemical passage through the elements toward a form of new weird life that blossoms, explodes, and changes.
Gemma is a manifesto of transformation. Like a seed that makes a promise, Gemma is not just the title of the album, set to be released on October 3, 2025, on CD, vinyl, and digital through the Canadian label Artoffact Records, but indeed an invitation to regenerate, to rediscover the hidden potential in everything. It is a dance of exploration between human nature, matter, and the mystery of existence, a journey that rejects staticity.
