Prepare yourselves for a mesmerizing journey through the world of art rock, as A Day in Venice releases their spellbinding new album, "IV". This self-released is set to debut on June 6th, 2023. Drawing inspiration from Dead Can Dance, Mogwai, Black Sabbath, and Nick Cave, "IV" is a sublime blend of avant-garde dark, prog rock, and post doom that will captivate your senses. Andrej Kralj, a sensitive and reserved artist from Italy's Karst plateau, has poured his heart and soul into this album. "IV" features slow, meditative tempos, harmonic precision, and poetic lyrics that transport you to a world of enchantment. With its narrative approach, the album evokes comparisons to the works of Dead Can Dance, Nick Cave, and Peter Steele. The 11-track album showcases Kralj's undeniable talent on all instruments, as well as the mesmerizing vocals of Angelos Kyprianos and Amanda Onicee. Additional musical contributions from Luis Marquez (oboe), Maurice Soque (saxophone), and Marjan Milič (electric guitar riff) further elevate this exquisite release. "IV" is a testament to Kralj's devotion to restoring the dignity of music as art and reflecting his romanticism. The album's musical journey flows like a serene river winding through a rugged landscape, occasionally hinting at the graceful movement of a snake weaving through tall grass. Don't miss the chance to experience A Day in Venice's "IV" for yourself – a breathtaking fusion of art rock, avant-garde dark, prog rock, and post doom that promises to leave you in awe.
