Italy’s extreme metal act STIGMA are set to strike again with their sophomore album ‘Concerto for the Undead’
Produced at Fear Studio by guitarist Jona Weinhofen and mixed and mastered by Scott Atkins (Behemoth, Cradle of Filth, Sylosis), the album presents listeners with a crystal clear barrage of uncompromising brutality; fusing staccato riffs with relentless blast-driven percussion and wholly punishing beatdowns
The albums lyrics are centered on the cult-classic comic book series Tales From The Crypt and are delivered via a vicious vocal attack from front man Stefano ‘Vlad’ Ghersi and guest vocalists Jamie Hope (ex-The Red Shore) and Jon Hunt (ex-Dead To Fall). Artwork from Andrea Barton calls upon the timeless style of vintage b-movie horror covers as influence and firmly positions the quartet as a powerful force in an era where extremity reigns supreme.
