The Italian psych dark folk songwriter Nero Kane is back on tour in Europe and UK in support of his new album Of Knowledge and Revelation due out September 30th, 2022 in double LP vinyl, CD and digital formats via Italian experimental label Subsound Records. Samantha Stella, who took part in the album recording, joins the tour on mellotron, organ and vocals. In the last five years Kane and Stella performed together in clubs, theaters, churches, museums and art galleries in Europe, UK and Los Angeles. Their live performances have been described as journeys through darkness and melancholy, with the creation of a morbid beauty and an intensity which make them unique. Ritual and cinematic sounds for those who are familiar with Nick Cave, Nico and Swans.
Nero Kane’s world is intimate, minimal and decadent. Both in his vocals and guitar style, his European roots intertwine with America’s desert sound in a project full of emotional vision and cinematic flavour. His music has been defined as a suspended and crepuscular journey particularly concerned with death, religion and love. After his debut album Love In A Dying World (American Primitive, 2018), produced in Los Angeles by Joe Cardamone (The Icarus Line, Skeleton Joe), and Tales of Faith and Lunacy (Nasoni Records, Berlin, BloodRock/Anacortes, 2020) - both releases achieved amazing international reviews - his third studio album Of Knowledge and Revelation was created with the same team of the previous one: it was recorded near Venice in a fertile collaboration with producer Matt Bordin (Squadra Omega, Italian Occult Psychedelia) of Outside Inside Studio, and features visual artist, performer and filmmaker Samantha Stella, whose voice has been defined as “evoking the ghost of Nico”.
"A neo-expressionist pagan chant. Samantha Stella acts as a Nico in front of Coil and Popul Vuh (Burn the Faith) while Kane wears rigorous shamanic vestments, in an attempt to match Cohen with Jodorowsky. 80/100"

Support comes from Vinny ILL (No Wave Folk Noise from La Chaux-de-Fonds).
After the release of the first album Nocturnal Digressions (Urgence Disk) in 2017, Vinny ILL is back with new experimental dark noisy songs. The use of sample, MPC and Keyboards brings new atmosphere to the project. Nevertheless, we stay in an atmosphere of cigarette smoke, a kind of old blues cabaret full of spontaneity.
