Everything on the newest album by Aethere talks about death: its title is IN COMA, its graphics represent an EEG of what it seems to be the last beat of an human being, this is the last album by Aethere and it is dedicated to the memory of Marco Corbelli/Atrax Morgue (he committed suicide at age 37). The six tracks of the album are part of a concept album and represent an musical comment to the death of a man who wants to die. Since the first minutes of the album we're introduced to the sound of the EEG machine and a respirator. Then the melody of a synth loop sounding like filtered by a liquid and a blasting drums are added. From that point till the end of the 49 minutes of the CD, everything sounds obsessive. The dilated atmosphere is a constant of the whole album and here and there Emanuele's whispered vocals lead the "dance". The five parts of IN COMA plus the closing "I'm fucking dead (A tribute to Marco Corbelli)" induce a sense of dizziness where melody finds its way through industrial ambient intuitions. Despair has found a new home...
