Sol Negate, the brainchild of Edoardo Curatolo, proudly announces the collaboration with Wormholedeath for the reissue of the groundbreaking album, “On the Verge of Dreaming Again,” scheduled for release on March 8, 2024.
“We’re honored to join forces with Wormholedeath for releasing our album “On The Verge of Dreaming Again”,” says Edoardo Curatolo, the band’s founder. “Finding a true partner that understands the vision behind what we do and supports our work is paramount to being able to continue to dream and share our music with you, the listener. We look forward to continuing to grow together!”
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.
