OvO release the brand new single Cobalto, third excerpt from the upcoming Gemma, eleventh studio album celebrating their twenty-five years of activity.
Available today on all digital platforms, after the previous singles Opale feat. Lord Spikeheart and Stagno, Cobalto is pure energy. Cobalto (“Cobalt”) is a hard but fragile metal, essential for the life of mammals, and it’s a surprising dance doom track. It combines the duo’s proverbial edginess and their idea of accessibility. A strange, deviant dance makes its way between drum beats by Bruno Dorella (Bachi da Pietra, Ronin, Sigillum S) and electric strings by Stefania Pedretti (Alos).
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 records 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 towards 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 3rd, 2025 on CD, vinyl, and digital by the Canadian label Artoffact Records, but also 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.
