GLI ALBERI
Maturafine

Gli Alberi are an Atmospheric Post-Metal band formed in Turin in 2012. Their lyrics explore themes such as nature, spirituality, environmental issues, and the end of the world. They have released two albums: The Glimpse (2017) and Reinhold (2022); this last one being a concept album about the Messner brothers' ascent of Nanga Parbat.

“Maturafine” is their third record and is a concept album about deserts: the desert as an arid place, but also as a place without man, even if populated by different forms of life. Deserts of prayer, of temptation, of loss—such as the Rub' Al-Khali, the "Empty Quarter" of the world; the Australian desert, with its myths of the Dreamtime; or the Kazakh desert, with its fishing boats lying motionless on the dried-up bed of the Aral Sea. These are ecosystems that we have transformed and plundered, adapting them to our idea of civilization. Over all of them blow the same sands and the same warning: the time is ripe—the end looms over us.

Musically, it is a long journey through various genres such as Doom, Post-Rock, and Blackgaze, in a world where synths and arrangements based on both Rock and Metal take the listener through a meaningful and touching path. Female, male and extreme vocals will be your guides.
