“Purgatorio” is the first single and video taken from Rosy Finch‘s highly anticipated EP Seconda Morte, a moody, thrilling journey based on the poem The Divine Comedy, which releases on the 4th November 2022 via Lay Bare Recordings, Discos Macarras, and LaRubia Producciones.
Atmosphere in music is the primordial ooze from which all sound must emerge, the glue that holds everything together whilst highlighting the sounds housed within. Rosy Finch (who hail from Spain) uses every tool at their disposal to create an atmosphere that builds eerie shadows and ethereal darkness in which they brew a heady mix of sludge and stoner grooves and 90’s era alternative potency, escalated by overdriven guitars and passionate, unearthly vocals.
Rosy Finch vocalist and guitarist Mireia Porto comments on “Purgatorio”
“Purgatorio is the second part of the Dante’s The Divine Comedy and the first track on side two of the new album. It’s about Dante’s journey through Mount Purgatory, describing the climb to the seven terraces which all represent the seven deadly sins. The punished souls residing there are suffering and expecting to receive forgiveness and Dante believes their sins arise from love.”
The video was directed Mireia and shot by Marcos Bañó at Creative Madness Lab, as well in a mountainous red-sand desert, representing the Mount of Purgatory, where Dante is watching a sinner stuck on the terrace of the wrathful.
Mireia comments on the video
“For me, this is the most common sin: harm of others for not facing your own demons. If you’re trapped in a life full of pain caused by a perverted love, the violence will find you.”
