*300 copies limited edition* Although La Porta Ermetica has not yet released many albums, the roster is far from unknown. Featuring the talents of Adriano Vincenti and founding members of the legendary group Ain Soph, this Italian super group means business. "Horti Lamiani" is a show of strength and a real piece of ear candy for those waiting to hear new ritual frequencies.

The sounds themselves are a testimony to the long-running experience of those involved. Tasty throbs and basses are mixed with classical instrumentation, evoking an atmosphere one may know from acts like Halo Manash or Trepaneringsritualen. Never losing sight of experimentation and innovation, La Porta Ermetica also utilises unconventional elements like female singing to forge something truly original. There is always skill and fine tuning to be found, while still remaining fresh and free.

Those looking for majestic sounds of deep conscience need not look any further. Horti Lamiani, is true alchemy and a great entry into the book of Ritual Industrial that should not be missed by anyone. The names should speak volumes and the sounds prove that Italians still haven't lost that spark. Get it now!
