I'm a little late here, but Lindin, New Jersey's Massa Nera just released their follow-up to 2022's excellent Derramar | Querer | Borrar on October 31st this year via Persistent Vision Records. The Emptiness Of All Things is the third feature-length from this long-time blog favourite, and with this latest record the band finds themselves confronting the existential overhang of the climate crisis with a dynamic sonic blend of convulsive discordance and atmospheric melody, utilizing their most varied vocal work to-date to capture the full emotional spectrum of this calamity in extraordinarily resonant and experimental fashion.
You can listen or download the album below. The band have commendably removed their work from all streaming services, all of which in some way directly benefit corporate/defense spending interests, all things their art directly stands in opposition to. This album encapsulation the spirit of that, as a despairing yet defiant (especially its closing track) reflection of the social and emotional zeitgeist it was borne out of.
