Sol Negate, the brainchild of composer and guitarist Edoardo Curatolo, is thrilled to present the lyric video for the track “A Mind That Bleeds”. The song is a standout from their concept album “On the Verge of Dreaming Again”, which is set to be re-released on March 8, 2024, via Wormholedeath.
“A Mind That Bleeds” takes listeners on a profound journey into the heart of human existence. The lyrics pose the timeless question, “Who am I?” and delve into the complexities of self-identity within societal constructs. The track is a testament to Sol Negate’s ability to blend symphonic elements with progressive death metal, creating a unique soundscape that is both intense and thought-provoking.
This captivating piece can be experienced on YouTube:
Sol Negate, a symphonic progressive death metal band formed by Edoardo Curatolo in Seattle, combines classical composition with modern instruments, influenced by progressive rock/metal, classical music, and extreme metal. Their music is both symphonic and heavy, departing from traditional structures, and aiming to create a unique musical experience. In 2023, their debut album “On the Verge of Dreaming Again” challenged the boundaries of progressive death metal, featuring contributions from drummer Sebastian Lanser and vocalist Riley McShane.
“On the Verge of Dreaming Again” is a concept album about death and dreams. It is the journey your mind takes as you die, reliving moments of the life you had flashing through your mind’s eye, and how you experience that fall into death. Each track moves over time, how innocuous experiences can mark and combine, how your perception of events can haunt you, and how one may reflect upon that at the moment of death.
It was made to be experienced from front to back, late in the evening, with some headphones… I hope it can provide a personal experience that grows with each listen.
Edoardo composed, recorded, and produced everything other than drums and vocals; the band worked with Sebastian Lanser (Obsidious, ex-Obscura) for drums, Riley McShane for vocals (Continuum, ex-Allegaeon), and the great Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studio for mixing/mastering.
