“Post Tenebras Lux” is the second album by Blackened Doom / Noise project LACOLPA. After the debut album “Mea Maxima Culpa”, which was released to critical acclaim in 2017 and ended up being featured in many album of the year charts by the likes of Cvlt Nation and The Wire Magazine amongst many others, LaColpa are back with their highly anticipated sophomore release.
“Post Tenebras Lux” is a monolithically dark and ominous album, showcasing how the band’s distinctive Doom / Noise sound has ultimately shapeshifted into something monstrously heavier and sludgier, all the while experimenting with some of the most painful soundscapes of improvisational noise and drone metal.
The end result is a 44 minutes long nightmare evoking menacing visions of pain, whilst the echo of our laments bounces around the infinite walls of Nothingness. Thematically, this new album outlines LaColpa’s philosophy of pain, deeply rooted in the human condition of eternal suffering.
Agony is the only hope for transcendence, and yet here faith is worth nothing, because crosses are invisible and only pain is real. Accepting defeat, embracing pain, becoming a martyr won’t lead to any illumination - but to the realisation that our existence is only an error, a mistake, a sin performed by God himself in the act of projecting an image of his real self upon us.
LaColpa was founded in 2014 by Andrea Moio (Utøya), Cecco Testa (Cropcircle), Davide Boeri (ex Septycal Gorge) and Davide Destro (Macabro Dio, ex Infection Code). The four piece started off as an instrumental band, until when Mario W. Gacy (Macabro Dio, Moana) joined as a singer and completed the line up.
In 2016, after releasing a self produced cd-r EP (limited to 33 hand numbered copies), the band recorded "Mea Maxima Culpa", released in 2017 by Toten Schwan Records. On the day of the Winter Solstice, 21st day of December 2020, LaColpa will release their sophomore full length album “Post Tenebras Lux” on digital and CDs via Brucia Records.
