"Mente Captus" is Latin for "captured in the mind" (from which the Italian term "mentecatto" is derived), an expression used by the Romans to refer to a person with limited ability to act due to mental infirmity. Today, it is mostly used in an extended and generic sense (similar to "foolish," "senseless," or "stupid") as an insulting or contemptuous title or severe reprimand. The album's title encapsulates the central concept of the album: each song, in its own way, explores different human follies, both big and small. Madness can manifest in imposing forms like war or in daily dependencies, such as excessive and compulsive smartphone use. Although the term is commonly associated with people of low social status, "mentecatti" are not just individuals marginalized in society; often, the true "mentecatti" are those who hold power. Their madness has the power to inflict considerable harm on a social, political, and environmental level, compromising the balance and stability of humanity as a whole. These powerful "mentecatti," driven by unbridled ambition and selfish interests, can cause inequalities, conflicts, exploitation of natural resources, and environmental destruction. The title "Mente Captus" thus represents a critical reflection on the nature of human follies and how they are conceived and misclassified, subservient to the ever-increasing ego of humanity, reverberating in every aspect of our existence.

"Right there before his very eyes was a window into another version of reality; like a looking-glass only looking back upon himself basking in the triumph of succeeding in his life's work. The collider beeped again and another window appeared; now looking upon a new version of himself, but in this world, the experiment had failed. With each beep, another window appeared, each time revealing further, more extreme divergences and with each new world the windows grew in size."

LISTEN TO THE ALBUM HERE

Founded in the northern Italian region of Piedmont back in 2015 but somehow left behind due to committing to other bands, the band was revamped as a duo back in 2020. Although this is their first release, it was immediately taken into consideration for a CD release because of the quality that both Ruf and Avait put into recording the nine tracks of this album. Owing much to the style of the early mediterranean bands, VRIM quickly evolves into something of its own with great melodies although being overall very aggressive and militaristic in feel. The lyrics, all written in the old Piedmontese language, deal mostly with the history of that particular Subalpine region.
 

Bastard sons of Sadistik Exekution and Necrovore, tremendously aggressive DEATH metal as you haven't heard in ages. CD includes Demo and EP extra tracks for a total of 30 songs for complete annihilation. VERY limited LP version coming soon. This is definitely the most extreme IRON TYRANT release since LUST!!!
