EDYAKARAN: from IN TORMENTATA QUIETE to My Kingdom Music
Post fata resurgo – after death I rise: it is what EDYAKARAN represents, a new Post Metal project which, like a phoenix, rises from the ashes of IN TORMENTATA QUIETE and arrives at My Kingdom Music.
Made up of 3/4 IN TORMENTATA QUIETE members [Lorenzo Rinaldi (gt), Francesco Paparella (dr), Antonio Ricco (ky) with the addition of Matteo Meli (bs)], EDYAKARAN have signed a contract with Italian label for the release of their debut album titled “Pantheon” out on March 2025.
“Pantheon” was built as a musical journey with influences ranging from Post Metal to Post Rock, from Avantgarde Black Metal to Progressive, ending with Noise and Electronic with bands such as Cult Of Luna, Isis, Russian Circle and God Is An Astronaut being the only terms of comparison.
The result is an extreme and delirious album at the same time and EDYAKARAN will be the absolute protagonists of this new journey.
Antonio Ricco talks to us about this new artistic project and the album “Pantheon”: “Returning to the big scene after IN TORMENTATA QUIETE was not simple and doing it with EDYAKARAN, a project that, despite starting from those roots, deviates from it substantially, it was a huge challenge. I must say that we are really happy to do it with My Kingdom Music who has followed and supported us for all these years.
Edyakaran and our music are intended to be a celebration of human evolution through the exploration and conceptualization of what was, what is and how it has become. Our first album is titled “Pantheon” and is made up of 10 tracks for a total of 45 minutes, mostly instrumental except for 3 of the songs that compose it, precisely because we wanted music to be the great protagonist of this project of ours. Now we can’t wait to let you enter our world, knowing that it won’t be a simple journey.”
