Another day, another Italian DSBM band. Such is life at the Forest Wanker Compound.
After 10 years, Solitude Project changed names, and direction, becoming Kintsukoroi. Literally meaning "golden repair", it is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer, gold or silver; as a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, creating something more resistant and beautiful from wounds and breaks.
Beginning 2020 with the full-length Calling of Razors / About Emotions, B.G. and R.F. Sinister staked out their ground on the border between depressive black metal and post-metal. A solid performance, but nothing earth-shattering.
Then in December, they dropped a single called 25 Years Worth Waiting For, and now it is clear they have found their stride.
As they said on their bandcamp page:
It is dedicated to everyone who suffers from mental issues and to everyone who doesn't suffer but tries to understand and respects people like us.
If you feel the song may refer to you as well, look for help; there's always hope. And if you need to talk with someone who can feel you feel free to write us on our Social Media.
As emotional and heartfelt as the lyrics are (and regardless of how close they hit to home for your writer), it is the instrumental B side that really shines for me. It perfectly captures the call of the void...
