Italian band Diespnea was originally created in 2014 as a solo project by Wolke, but in 2019 he was joined by Anxitudo, with them both credited with all instruments and vocals. Their 2020 debut album, ‘Pneuma’ saw them pursue atmospheric black metal, but their second...

Here we have the latest album from Carsten Sindvald, someone I first heard from when he was recording with the wonderful avant jazz musician Robin Taylor. Like Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman and others, he is professionally trained, graduating as a classical saxophone...
