Vulturium Memoriae Interview


1.Can you give us an update on what is going on with the musical project these days?

Hi,
well, nothing special in reality, I'm simply waiting the release date of the album, February 14th (yes, the Valentine's Day) but in the meantime, I am noticing that a lot of people, of different countries, are developing interest around my music and that's great.

2.You had just released an album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording?

Mmm... I cannot describe it in clear way, I don't want in reality, because I would like that they were the people to describe what they feel, having listened to it.
Vulturium Memoriae is a project "open", each can feel protagonist of the disk, when they have it in the ears becoming an unique thing with it.
The only thing that I can tell the respect of "Nato For Unknown Reasons", just to listen the album, nothing more, nothing less.
It's an individual experience of growth, I can't say to other people what they must perceive from my music.

3.What are some of the concepts and images you bring out with your musical sound?

My inner world, the way that I see things, music is just the soundtrack of my mind.
Walk, for me, it's a religious ritual of research, between memories and landscapes that I through.

4.All of the songs are instrumental, are you planning on using vocals in the future or do you feel this style of music is meant to stay instrumental?

For now I don't have a singer for my next albums, but, i would like it.


5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Vulturium Memoriae'?

“Vulturium” is the ancient latin name of my hometown, Voltri, so the meaning is “Voltri's Memories”, it's a little tribute of this place that keeps gifting to me inspiration for music and grow my person.
It's a some kind of personal church.

6.With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with any other musicians on this project in the future?

No, i don't think.
Maybe some little collaboration, but nothing more.

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to the album by fans of dark and underground music?

For now, the feedback comes from worldwide black metal listeners.
And it is very good, many persons have appreciated the album.

8.What is going on with some of the other musical projects or bands these days that you are a part off?

I'm recording the new Macabre Enslaver album, in these months.
But i don't want to anticipate nothing.

9.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician in the future?

I imagine myself in the same today situation.
But, i hope to leave music, society in general and dedicate myself in a spiritual existence.
But, who knows?

10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

Christian Death, Nadja, The Cure, Lycia, Lady Gaga, Madonna (“Ray Of Light”), Marilyn Manson (“Mechanical Animals”), Terminator O.S.T., Lurker Of Chalice/Leviathan, Nine Inch Nails, Cocteatu Twins, Julee Cruise, Xasthur/Nocturnal Poisoning, Chelsea Wolfe, Marissa Nadler, Robert Miles, Enigma, Burzum ambient works, Kraut/Ambient and many other artists.

11.What are some of your non musical interests?

Books, footing/walking, nature, food, friends, family, my cats and even the stray cats... myself...
Very interesting uh?

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Haha, I hate this kind of questions, because i'm not dying, but I take the opportunity to bring my best regards to Tara and Mike from Lycia.
And, of course, thank you all of the staff, for the space that you have given me here.

Vulturium Memoriae/Nato Per Ragioni Ignote/Avantgarde Music/2014 CD Review


  Vulturium  Memoriae  are  a  1  man  band  from  Italy  that  plays  a  mixture  of  melancholic  darkwave  and  post  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2014  album  "Nato  Per  Ragiono  Ignote"  which  was  released  by  Avantgarde  Music.

  A  very  dark  and  avant  garde  sound  starts  off  the  album  and  after  a  minute  powerful  sounding  bass  guitars  are  added  into  the  music  along  with  some  distorted  yet  melodic  guitar  leads  which  gives  the  music  more  of  a  darkwave  and  post  rock  feeling  along  with  most  of  the  tracks  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  hear  a  great  amount  of  atmospheric  doom  metal  elements  and  all  of  the  songs  are  instrumental  and  they  also  stick  to  a  slow  musical  direction  and  as  the  album  progresses  more  of  the  ambient  and  depressive  style  of  black  metal  starts  to  mix  in  with  the  more  dark  and  melancholic  post  rock/darkwave  sound  of  the  album  and  none  of  the  tracks  ever  utilize  any  rhythm  guitars  while  some  of  the  songs  do  bring  in  a  small  amount  of  clean  playing.

  Vulturium  Memoriae  combines  a  variety  of  many  different  musical  genres  from  ambient,  depressive  black  metal,  atmospheric  doom,  darkwave  and  post  rock  to  create  an  instrumental  album  that  is  very  hard  to  categorize  and  the  production  sound s very  dark  yet  powerful  at  the  same  time.

  In   my  opinion  Vulturium  Memoriae  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  melancholic  darkwave  and  post  black  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  project.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Onde  Psichiche  Di  Coscienza"  and  "Grigiore  A  Cielo  Aparto".  8  out  of  10.
