ExpiatoriA - Il Segno del Comando

The Profile

ExpiatoriA - Il Segno del Comando is the joint credit for the split album Voci Notturne, uniting the Italian doom outfit ExpiatoriA with the dark, cinematic prog group Il Segno del Comando to reinterpret Pupi Avati’s 1995 miniseries.

The project blends monolithic, ritualistic doom with layered, cinematic prog; conceived around the 1995 RAI miniseries Voci Notturne by Pupi Avati. The album had a long gestation, meticulous production, and was presented live in Genoa. The source miniseries drew controversy and subsequent edits following complaints by the Theosophical Society.
