The Sodality

    

The Sodality “Unburdened Underpass” CD is now available.
Please note that I am not selling this CD. It's available from the band's Bandcamp page and it ships from Italy.

Originally created in 1984 by Andrea Cernotto & Pierpaolo Zoppo, The Sodality bloomed under Andrea‘s guidance across seminal works in the 80's and 90's. The project was revived by original members Paolo Bandera and Eraldo Bernocchi for a 2014 concert with Mark Solotroff on vocals, and again in 2023, for a live show and new recordings with the same line-up + contribution by founder Andrea Cernotto.

“Unburdened Underpass” includes two brand new, very long and mostly instrumental tracks, completely different from the “Schmooze & Sleaze” 12”. While visually related to the previous release (thanks to the striking artwork of Petulia Mattioli), the audio content provides a radically alternative angle of The Sodality’s extreme existentialism, obsessed with the ageing of libido and the intoxicating stench of death.


“… extreme existentialism, an act of pure and unadulterated audio commentaries about old age, the transformation of libido and the irreversible path to death … naked and raw as spilled guts, while sophisticated as a post-sociology tome, an exercise in psychology dissection… deadly / funnily serious and fully unpredictable… voices explode like dying worms and howling monsters, noises like falling stars and sudden earthquakes, frequencies like injected poisons and rumbling cascades… words inflate like melting projectiles and concept pornographies …”

Anatomy of Habit

Here's an update on our next three shows. This will be our first time in Indianapolis. Weird, considering Alex and Skyler are both from there...
