Take Ulcerate and move them two steps further toward atmospheric sludge, and away from their death metal axis. That is basically what you get here. Lotta post-metal, lotta atmosphere.

Like a vortex swallowing the more vital parts of Italy itself, Derivae is an unbelievably brooding collection of crushing post-metal tracks which all possess an immense deal of an ominous atmosphere. The vocals go hand-in-hand with the seismic polyrhythms, whilst the production beautifully captures the mood of this very album. Nero di Marte is certainly one of those acts you want to be hearing again and again.

This is nasty - groovy post-metal with great atmosphere and interesting polyrhythms, and some shades of
Ulcerate. Very dark and haunting, and great attention to detail. Jury's still out on the vocals, but I think it'll
grow on me

Imagine the post metal of Cult of Luna meets the poly rhythms of Meshuggah meets the dissonant atmospheres of Ulcerate, and you have Nero Di Marte. At its heart, Derivae is a post metal album but where most post metal bands start out super quiet and sparse and slowly build towards a wall of sound, Nero Di Marte starts where most would end. They begin with the post apocalyptic walls of sound and throat shredding vocals and slowly build towards the dissonance and walls of double bass more common with a band like Ulcerate. If you like Amia Venera Landscape, you should be able to get into this.

So deftly skirts between sludge, post, and death. The merge is stunning. The vocalist elevates this to more than the sum of it's influences. The drumming is unquestionably elite. Just a phenomenal experience.

Well this was quite the surprise! Post metal that hammers on the poly-rhythms of Meshuggah, filters a weird dissonance through the guitars of Ulcerate and rolls these elements into elongated Gojira jams.

"Three years in the making, "Derivae" was recorded, mixed and mastered using 100% analog and without use of any digital post-processing with Riccardo "Paso" Pasini at Studio73 (Ephel Duath, Void of Sleep)."rYES! some people get it right.redit : one of the best albums of '14
