► ABOUT

Noia is a three-piece from Florence, Italy, formed in 2001. Starting out as a mix of all sorts of raw and fast metal styles, the music was also deeply rooted in d-beat and hardcore punk. Over the years, they recorded several albums in differing line-ups centered around mastermind Lorenzo Bellia. The musical direction was naturally filtered with each recording until they found their typical Noia sound, which still contains all the core elements since their inception, but was boiled down to a fierce old-school thrash beast with a striking black metal backbone and some classic 80s influences.

"Desolating Blaze" is their sixth album and the band’s longest and most introvert effort to date. On the one hand, it could be considered the darkest and grimmest they ever wrote, with lots of raging blast beats and pure 2nd-wave Norwegian style black metal parts. On the other hand, it also shows Noia marking some new stylistic territory with unexpectedly slow songs for the first time and even occasional synth soundscapes to create a subtle mystic atmosphere while steering clear of any schmaltz. But most importantly, Noia ‘22 put an emphasis on always finding the sweet spot between brutal and technical and creating coherent songs, instead of just following the formula to fit specific genre standards – they're all great individual tracks that stand on their own and still manage to represent the band’s full range.

The album was recorded in Bellia’s own analog studio and features a more polished but still natural sound, which gives the music just the right organic production without sounding deliberately underground-cheap; meaning it's heavy as hell but doesn't try too hard to display some trendy idea of ultra-backward black/thrash.

In short: if you’re both into raw old-school black metal and authentic, skilled speed-thrash beyond the played-out retro hype you get to hear every day, Noia’s "Desolating Blaze" has six tailor-made anthems waiting for you!

"Desolating Blaze" is scheduled to be released on April 1st 2022 on all formats: jewel case CD, vinyl LP and a strictly limited cassette tape edition – all ready for pre-order now via Bleeding Heart Nihilist Productions.
