VRNA is the long-standing project of Italian multi-instrumentalist and renowned tattoo artist Gianluca Martucci. Starting out in the late 90's he has released a wealth of amazing and understated material on labels such as Slaughter Productions and Old Europa Cafe. With a fluid sound that ranges from pitch black ambience, ancient sounding ritualistic drones and true old school Italian industrial atmospheres. His work can sound like the soundtrack to a forgotten folk horror film one minute, to crushingly heavy the next. Using surprisingly almost entirely acoustic instruments, many different drums/percussion and a often a chanted choir like voice, supplemented by electronics, there is a real uniqueness found in his music in a field dominated by synths and pedals. I've been a huge fan of his work since hearing his Osireion album which came out and blew my mind back in 2004. So it's an honor nearly 20 years later, to be releasing his new tape here on the label!

Sequenced like a LP, with very little space between tracks, "Spiritual Fog" starts the album out, slowly bringing in distorted drones, acoustic swells and vague dream-like vocals to lure you into what's to come. This is followed by "Cave Eternal" which brings in waves of thick throbbing bass and heavily distorted drums, paving the way for the equally crushing duo of "Mens Sana / Corpore Cruciati" which close out side A, bringing a doomy almost proto metal groove in. Side B's "Cathedral Inside My Body" continues on with the heavy rhythms, but introduces the ominous chanted vocals he is known for and lays the foundation for the closing track "The Keystone Ground To Ashes", with its flowing washes of distortion, pulsating bass and and eventual desolvation into melancholic trance inducing guitars.
