The mass of a substance that has always defied classification \u2014 the volume it occupies, but also the one of the sound’s power.\u00a0Densit\u00e0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Density<\/em>, in English) is the new EP by\u00a0OvO<\/strong>, out today\u00a0October 2, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0on all digital platforms via\u00a0Artoffact Records<\/strong>, and upcoming in 2027 as a 7″ tour exclusive on\u00a0Subsound Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Densit\u00e0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0arrives exactly one year after the release of\u00a0Gemma<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2014 the eleventh studio album by\u00a0OvO<\/strong>, a band already legendary in the vast landscape of noise rock, industrial metal, and avant-doom, celebrating their twenty-five years of activity.\u00a0Gemma\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>was an act of electro-metal creation defined by perpetual reinvention \u2014 a manifesto of transformation praised by influential international media such as “The Wire” and “The Guardian”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The three tracks on this new\u00a0EP<\/strong>\u00a0were recorded during the same sessions of\u00a0Gemma<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0but they immediately stood apart as a distinct entity. While the imagery remains steeped in alchemical themes, the sound possesses the driving energy typical of\u00a090s alt-rock<\/strong>, recalling bands such as Sonic Youth, Drive Like Jehu, and Man Or Astro-man?.<\/p>\n

It is a vein that has always been present in the Italian duo’s discography but here it takes on fresh nuances. The power of the percussions and the modernity of the electronics \u2014 played by\u00a0Bruno Dorella<\/strong>\u00a0(Bachi da Pietra, Ronin, Sigillum S) \u2014 combine with the sharp, enigmatic allure of\u00a0Stefania Pedretti<\/strong>\u2019s (Alos) guitars, rendered almost “synth-like” through the use of new pedals, alongside of course her unmistakable, shamanic, and universal voice.<\/p>\n

The EP\u00a0artwork<\/strong>\u00a0was created by\u00a0Fabrice Lavollay<\/strong>, a prolific Belgian illustrator near to the music scene with posters realized for the mythical Brussels club Magasin 4 or for bands such as Napalm Death and Eyehategod, as well as album covers for Bethlehem, Earthburner, and Infected.<\/p>\n
