Purchase and Stream the first two singles – L’Ira del Baccano’s “Tempus 25 (Excerpt Edit)” and Yama’s “Naraka“
We are super stoked to start the presale of this this incredible split. The album will be preceded by a double single from the two bands.
L’Ira del Baccano: “Tempus 25 (Excerpt Edit)“
A fragment extracted from a unique and complex 19-minute composition in which L’Ira del Baccano explores all the facets of its instrumental expression. But the true journey will be the full version on the album “Tempus Deorum.”
Yama: “Naraka“
“Naraka” represents hell in Vedic lore and is Yama’s abode. As a song it also brings home our band’s past and future. It’s a Heavy Blues track, with a fierce doom metal punch. The final part of the track reflects the redemption that sinners (Narakas) achieve, after settling their ‘debt.’ Something each one of us could long for.
In the summer of 2015, against the backdrop of the Italian Dolomites, a friendship between two European Heavy underground bands was struck. Now, a decade later, Roman Psych-Doom formation L’Ira del Baccano and Tilburgian Doom Rock outfit Yama join forces in a musical collaboration: their split album “Tempus Deorum,” to be released on Subsound Records (Italy) in March 2025. The background in 2025 is less picturesque, the bands see this international collaboration as an artistic response to emerging nationalistic navel-gazing.
“Tempus Deorum” (‘Time Of The Gods’) is not only an allegorical congregation of deities, it is a bastion for the confluence between two manifestations of Psychedelic heaviness.
L’Ira’s contribution comprises a drawn-out instrumental Psych Doom jam, in which they fully expand the concept of an ever-evolving song, taking a theme and leading it on a dynamic roller-coaster journey, reshaping it through the heaviness of Doom, the tension, physicality and Psychedelia of improvisation and the precision of Progressive Rock.
Yama brings some of their Doomiest tracks to the table and experiments with Psychedelic Drone elements, in collaboration with producer David Luiten (Autarkh).
