We begin 2025 by celebrating the release of Virtut Del Desencs, the latest album by Vidres A La Sang, a band that has left an indelible mark on the history of extreme metal in Catalan. With more than 20 years of trajectory, this album, released on November 29, 2024, stands as a work of artistic depth and maturity, reaffirming their legacy and establishing itself as a relevant addition to the extreme music scene.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Eloi Boucherie at Farm of Sounds studio, Virtut Del Desencs reflects the dedication and meticulous care that Vidres A La Sang invests in their music. The albums cover art and visuals, crafted by Alejandro Tedn of Heresie Studio, perfectly complement the emotional and philosophical depth of the record. These collaborations elevate the album beyond a mere collection of songs, transforming it into an integral work of art.
The band describes this album as their most dynamic, creative, and powerful effort to date. Featuring six new compositions that delve into the human condition from a philosophical and existential perspective, Vidres A La Sang masterfully channels the essence of disenchantment and transforms it into virtue. This approach invites listeners not only to reflect but also to embrace the shadows and contradictions that define us as a species.
Virtut Del Desencs is available in various formats, including LP, CD digipack, and digital, thanks to the efforts of labels Abstract Emotions, Nafra Records, Negra Nit, Discos Macarras, and Eternal Juggernaut Records. This ensures that every fan of extreme music can experience it in their preferred format, from vinyl collectors to digital listeners.
Vidres A La Sang proves that even after two decades, they remain a cornerstone of extreme metal, offering a proposal that combines maturity, creativity, and a unique artistic vision. If you havent listened to it yet, dont miss the chance to immerse yourself in this masterpiece.
Remaining true to their collaboration with Visual Noise Barcelona, Vidres A La Sang has unveiled a stunning video for "L'Elegia Dels Innocents". This track, the third on Virtut Del Desencs, encapsulates the bands masterful blend of depth and irony.
With this video, the egarense legends emphasize what they describe as the unshakable faith we place in the system and our speciesa statement loaded with biting irony that resonates deeply with the themes of the album.
