lento is an instrumental collective based
in rome. the former members joined in 2004
as a quartet and started working out a sort of
introspective and implosive approach, taking their
cue from a wide range of influences including
seminal bands such as neurosis, earth and gy!be.
after a short time break, in late 2005, lento
expanded into a five piece act, and began
structuring the basement of a more elaborate
mood. incorporating elements of ambient, doom
and hardcore, lento has created a perfect
opposition between sludge heavy riffs and
ambient psychedelic suites. lento's tone is a
blend of heavily down tuned guitars, apocalyptic
slow tempos, systematic drones and resonant
feedbacks, their live sets alternate from hardcore
assaults to intimate collapses of the signals.
lento: earthen
out on November 9th on Supernatural Cat
in a first limited edition run of 500 cd
handmade printed by Malleus Rock Art Lab.

160907: EARTHEN
After a long period, Earthen is finally released.
We spent an endless time in recording several versions of the tracks,
but we chose to maintain a primary approach in the album,
so this is basically the result of one of the first recording sessions.
Here is the tracklist for the cd version:
1. Hadrons
2. Need
3. Subterrestrial
4. Currents
5. Emersion of the islands
6. Earth
7. Leave
We would really like to thank everyone who left a message in the space,
we did appreciate every single encouragement.
We would also like to thank the guys at Supernatural Cat,
without whom this would not have been possible.
Hope to see you out there.
lento.

landscapes are feeding of an unconscious current
dynamics of an inner spinning
everyone around is transparent
below a persistency of flares
none is speaking of the dying season
we behave like watchers of the skies
we distribute meanings to the shape of clouds
subterrestrial storming is the engine of emersion
animals coming from the nether
souls mourning for the change
the vault is assembled and the cycles are formed
sounds are filtering into the motionless spaces
a storm of no shape
a saturate mass of drives
we know how alien it is but we can't say a word
as divided into sections of our being
voyagers static
a mechanical dusk is blazing behind us
silver and gold are pending from the sky
what we were waiting for appears as unknown
but it feels like iron while it comes over us
