SIGILLUM S, ERALDO BERNOCCHI, SSHE RETINA STIMULANTS, IUGULA-THOR & OTHER NEWS.


As 2016 is getting to a close, our 30^ anniversary year is doing so as well…. meaning it’s time for a re-cap and a general news round up !






First of all, our celebration trilogy (ASTRONOMIC HORROR, IRON CATASTROPHE SPECTATORS , DEMONOLOGY) https://sigillum-s.bandcamp.com/merch.... materialized on April 16, the very day of our Lo Fi “special show”, which also marked the first appearance of BRUNO DORELLA as permanent SIGILLUM S member (by the way, you should absolutely check OVO’ s new album on DIODRONE https://diodrone.bandcamp.com/album/creatura, as well as their on-going, incredible live tour).




This was followed by a couple of other excellent live shows and we would like to take the opportunity to thank… first of all LORENZO ESPOSITO FORNASARI and TONY WAKEFORD, for the unbelievable stage contributions…. then, the organizers / venues (MONICA / MAMOLIFESYLE, CORRADO / HARD STAFF, CORRADO / LO-FI [please, come back SOON], MACIEK / WROCLAW INDUSTRIAL FESTIVAL, MARCO / RAINDOGS HOUSE)…. the bands which shared the events with us (HATE & MERDA, RAMLEH + all the other @ WIF, F:A.R.)…. AND, most importantly, THE AUDIENCES !




In order to really round off the celebration mood, you should now also definitely visit PETULIA MATTIOLI’ s new digital outlet for limited edition prints, MORTAL BEAUTY, http://mortalbeauty.bigcartel.com/.... enjoy at your own risk !




Meanwhile, OLD EUROPA CAFE released a beautiful CD re-issue of the SIGILLUM S / AIN SOPH split, http://www.oldeuropacafe.com/en/catalog/category/ain-soph-sigillum-s-simulacra-cd.html, as well as allowed us to re-mix MB's “ENDOMETRIO”, http://www.oldeuropacafe.com/en/catalog/category/endometrio-de-composed-.html.



Additionally, REHORN has just released the extremely limited 8” lathe box set “UTTER BLACKNESS FROM THE BURNT BOWEL OF THE UNIVERSE” https://www.discogs.com/it/sell/item/417184553, while another release, the “GEOMANCY AND GRAVITATION” limited LP, is scheduled for 2017.



For what concerns other future plans, 2017 should also see the completion and release of the SIGILLUM S & TONY WAKEFORD LP “STONED DEBRIS AND SOME CULTURAL FLOW”, followed by a limited live CD release, more live performances, the beginning of the recording for the new studio full length SIGILLUM S album (provisionally titled “SOLAR SYSTEM CIVILIZATION AND INTERDIMENSIONAL BIOLOGY MINING”) and a few more “special projects” (details to be revealed in due time).
