"On their new album Ere, Storm{O} are faithful to that same winning formula. Yet, the mathy, metallic brutality that was Sospesi’s core has a fragile and emotional quality here. The result is a powerful, claustrophobic album with exceptional songwriting, starting from the opening track “Taxidermia,” so carefully built on a series of asphyxiating crescendos abruptly interrupted by tense guitar riffs. “Meteorite” evokes the feeling of being powerlessly sucked into a vortex of raving chord progressions and wild accelerations, while tracks like “Porta dell’Attimo” or “Cenere” are excellent examples of fierce, straightforward hardcore.
On the rest of the record, the four-piece rarely allow the listener a moment of pause. Singer Luca Rocco sounds like he’s desperately climbing over slippery walls, trying to escape from a nightmare filled with memories and obsessions. His vocals fluently stumble and slide over cutting guitars that continuously swirl and crumple up, crushed by the ever-changing, thumping drums. Storm{O}’s invitation into their world comes without the warning that it will all fall down eventually—but that fate feels, ultimately, cathartic."
