The Eye Is the First Circle

CALLIGRAM's latest offering, "The Eye Is The First Circle," is a kaleidoscopic journey through the weird and wonderful world of avant-garde metal. With influences ranging from black metal to post-rock, this album is a swirling vortex of sound that is as perplexing as it is mesmerizing.

The band effortlessly weaves together complex rhythms, blistering riffs, and ethereal melodies to create a sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful. Vocalist Matteo Rizzello's guttural screams penetrate through the layers of sound, commanding attention and leading the listener deeper into the abyss. The rest of the band members, including guitarist Raffaele Mariotti, bassist Fabrizio Galizia, and drummer Marcello Romani, showcase their technical prowess with intricate arrangements and dynamic shifts. But what truly sets "The Eye Is The First Circle" apart is its sense of unpredictability. Just when you think you have a handle on where the album is going, CALLIGRAM throws a curveball that leaves you reeling in the best possible way.

"The Eye Is The First Circle" is a bold and ambitious statement from a band that refuses to be confined by genre conventions. Bold, unpredictable, and utterly captivating, this album is a must-listen for anyone who craves music that challenges the status quo.
