«Kissin’ Black» are back. The notes of their new album VELENO (Poison) coax the withered rose back into bloom, arcing fresh like a rainbow after a violent storm, beautifully tiptoeing between tender and hard. 13 new songs juxtaposing southern temperament and Swiss precision; a unique poison capturing passion and diametrical energies, fusing them into «Kissin’ Black»’s own sound.
Get your poison now!
The Italian title song releases emotions that capture its full depth in Giu Mastrogiacomo’s native language. VELENO defines lovers as poison and antidote. The frontman’s voice, velvety, rough, and emotionally charged, carries across borders, and soothes wanderlust.
Here wild and dark, there tantalizing and melancholic, ever returning to trusting and gentle.
There is no parsimony where appeal or sound are concerned. «Kissin’ Black» plumb the depths of their instruments’ souls to electrify their lyrics and lay their feelings bare. To lend the darkness a deepened resonance, the acoustic guitar bows to its electric counterpart more often on the album VELENO. The band has increased in hardness and intensity with no detriment to its romantic vein.
As if this were not enough, an extra impulse is injected into VELENO by the collaboration on this outing with singer Matteo vDiva Fabbiani of «Hell Boulevard», while the cover artist Martin Gut has added his touch to the expression of love through his painted image of the wilting rose. Once again produced by Rob Viso and Giu Mastrogiacomo
The full-length-album VELENO will be released on all channels (Digital / CD / Vinyl / Ltd. Vinyl-Special-Box) on Friday, October 13th, 2023.
