Italian Metal Trio Vertebra Atlantis Speaks With The Eeriest Sublime On New Album (Album Stream)

Musician Gabriele Gramaglia, otherwise known as G.G., has been on quite the adventure over the past decade. From The Clearing Path's atmospheric black metal-meets-prog-meets-post-hardcore to Summit's adventurous post-metal, Cosmic Putrefaction's space-age putridity, and more, this young creative's spirit speaks of progressive, odd-ball metal in volumes and celestial tomes rather than a specifically pointed career. In full-band Vertebra Atlantis' sophomore album, we are presented with something overwhelming, an atmospheric, progressive form of black and death metal together which terrestrially grooves as hard as it gazes skyward with otherworldly ambiance. A Dialogue With The Eeriest Sublime finds a middle ground between the heavens and the Earth, and from that does Vertebra Atlantis (and, by association, G.G. and his bandmates R.R. and G.S.) hover just slightly above the ground in an uncanny, uncomfortable way. It's complex. It's thoughtful. It's grandiose. This is a big, big album which takes some time to get used to, but when it "clicks," it is really something to behold. Gramaglia's trajectory has been quite the adventure, and Vertebra Atlantis' newest album is an apex in his discography.
