Swedish/Italian post-metal collective Ropes Inside a Hole today share their entire second album “A Man And His Nature”, which is set for release tomorrow, January 10th via Voice of the Unheard Records (Vinyl) and Shove Records (CD).
The new album is now playing in full at Heavy Blog Is Heavy, who had this to say about the band’s sound “Ropes Inside A Hole continue to elaborate on the basic musical ideas and building blocks of the album throughout, creating an intimate and intricate piece of music.”
Listen to “A Man And His Nature” here.
The follow-up to the band’s 2019 debut album “Autumnalia” was produced and mixed by Riccardo Pasini at Studio73, Italy and mastered by Magnus Lindberg in Sweden, and sees RIAH collaborating with a number of musicians from various places in the world, namely Hernan Paulitti from Buenos Aires, Argentina on violin, the jazz master William Suvanne from Helsinki, Finland on saxophone, Francesco “Fresco” Cellini from Ravenna, Italy on cello and Mohammed Ashfarf also from Ravenna on keyboards. The album also features the incredible voice of Daniel Loefgren from Sweden’s Suffocate For Fuck Sake, who is now an integral part of the band.
Written during the pandemic and the global lockdown, “A Man And His Nature” deals with feelings of isolation, doubt, nostalgia, fear and anger and also marks a shift in the band’s sound towards a more introspective approach materialized by the use of acoustic guitars, cello, violin and saxophone that contrasts perfectly with the more aggressive and heavy side of the band. Pre-orders for the album are now available here.
