KEYGEN CHURCH will launch its gorgeous Nel Nome Del Codice full-length on March twenty second through Steel Blade Information.
KEYGEN CHURCH is the brainchild of technologist/songwriter Victor Love (Vittorio D’Amore). Love, additionally of 8-bit phenoms Grasp Boot File (MBR), is a one-person outfit, writing, and recording through undisclosed real-time stream occasions, the place the devoted (and fortunate) bear witness to KEYGEN CHURCH‘s spontaneous artistic course of. Like earlier alt code/textual content art-titled albums ░ ▒ ▓ █(2022) and ░█░█░░█░█░█░ (2022), Nel Nome Del Codice is a modern-primitive love letter to doom/gothic/black metallic with foundations in Baroque-era Classical and Romantic-era music. This time, nonetheless, Love has refined his sonic software equipment – “the whole set of sounds,” he says – the aftereffect of which is computerized big-hall libations like “La Chiave Del Mio Amor,” “Nel Nome Del Codice,” and “Lode Al Disco Sacro.”
Love acquired his begin in music by way of know-how. He was a tech at his father’s pc enterprise, the place hands-on expertise with {hardware} and software program cultivated a leap to sysadmin at college. From there, the Italian fell into digital advertising and marketing and trendsetting. When the KEYGEN CHURCH architect was uncovered to pirated software program, the intro – known as “cracktros” – music was pivotal to the “key generator” tradition. The scene (aka “demoscene“) that advanced out of that caught his metal-attuned ears and gadget-oriented thoughts. Grasp Boot File and KEYGEN CHURCH are the merchandise and expressions of a bygone bootlegging period thrust into the current by way of completely different style lenses. Suppose the previous is impressed by dying metallic. In that case, the latter is symphonic black metallic, and Nel Nome Del Codice is just not in contrast to Arcturus‘ La Masquerade Infernale or Elend‘s The Umbersun if envisioned by Japanese 8-bit composer Koichi Sugiyama (Dragon Quest).
Love’s work in KEYGEN CHURCH is homage and innovation. He’s a fan of ciphers – astute followers should work out the place they’re used on Nel Nome Del Codice. The brand is ASCII artwork, a “graphic language” created by bulletin board system (BBS) customers within the early days of the Web. Whereas the duvet might seem minimalist initially, the 1-bit pixel artwork by Germany-based illustrator Valenberg (Perturbator, VirtuaVerse) alerts KEYGEN CHURCH‘s ascent to their last kind. If the metamorphosis is full, Love’s journey to Nel Nome Del Codice has been inspiring. The refined craftwork of “Lode Al Disco Sacro,” “Sulla By way of Della Gloria,” the practically eight-minute nearer, “Sempre Nel Mio Pensiero,” beholds darksome liturgical majesty, the likes of which we’re listening to/experiencing for the primary time at our respective pews.
“My plans for KEYGEN CHURCH are long-term,” says Love. “I’m taking extra pipe organ and piano classes to convey this to the stage with my different bandmates in MBR. I’ll must do it proper or not do all of it, although. Meaning I’ll have to determine learn how to convey a pipe organ and piano reside – or construct a customized instrument. I need our first present to be in a church, and I’ve already acquired some concepts about learn how to make that occur. After, I’ll most likely drop a brand new album, the follow-up to Nel Nome Del Codice.”
Prematurely of the report’s launch, at this time KEYGEN CHURCH unveils, “La Chiave Del Mio Amor,” with Love noting of the transferring hymn, “It’s a Baroque classical computer-generated fugue of pipe organs and piano with thundering drums, razor formed synth metallic riffs and synthetic choirs.”
