“Tar Wings” is a testament to human frailty and paves the way for “EvAAvE,” an album which promises to be equally raw and powerful. This record redefines the boundaries of Italian doom and sludge with a raw, powerful and authentic sound.

The band comments:

“‘Tar Wings’ is a song for broken bones, a lament which climbs like ivy on the walls of a shattered mind. Every note is an uncertain step, every riff a distant echo of a past that holds us captive. As if time itself were a silent executioner, an invisible judge weighing each lost moment. The song begins with palpable tension, a slow walk toward a destination that, once reached, promises no redemption but only a warped mirror of our collective misery. There is a weight in every note, a slow and inexorable dragging between riffs that seem to be ripped from the bowels of the Earth and a rhythm that moves like a downhill hearse.”

Lirically the song was inspired by the poetry of Sylvia Plath and William Blake.

“It’s about a generation consumed between living and dying, in a limbo that has no time or place. Analog production is not just a technical detail: it is a declaration of war on the sonic plastic that haunts the modern world. Every instrument lives and breathes, every note sweating its black sweat, recorded live as if to exorcise something too big to be held back. ‘A thing locked in a cage puts all Heaven in a rage’ (W. Blake),” add DI’AUL.

After releasing their latest “EP II,” last summer, the band delivers a unique sonic experience. Recorded entirely live and using only analog equipment, “EvAAvE” was crafted at Vacuum Studio in Bologna with Enrico Baraldi. Captureing the visceral energy of a live performance, the album translates it into an intimate and overwhelming listening experience. Mastered by Esben Willems (Monolord, Slower), “EvAAvE” blends the heavy soul of doom and sludge with a production that highlights every detail, from the lowest frequencies to hypnotic reverbs.

DI’AUL reache a new artistic maturity, merging a doom/sludge sound foundation with lyrics of rare depth. The album is a journey that delves into the shadows of the human condition, guiding the listener through powerful sonic and lyrical landscapes. “EvAAvE” stands out for its rich and layered poetic vision, rooted in symbolism, existentialism, and the darkness of the human condition. The lyrics range from dreamlike imagery to visceral reflections, alternating introspection and social critique.
