Gli ultimi 12 mesi sono stati molto prolifici per il Daal. Esattamente un anno fa “Decalogue of Darkness” e “Navels fall into a living Origami” furono pubblicati, e oltre al batterista Davide Guidoni pubblicò il suo primo album solista contemporaneamente “Echoes from the undertow” (B-Rain, il nome del suo progetto). Nel 2019 i Daal decidono di ristampare una collezione, che include il loro secondo album (ora esaurito) “Destruktive Actions Affect Livings (DAAL), e altri due dischi usciti in edizione limitata:” Echoes of the falling stars “e” The call of the Witches “.” Archives “si presenta in uno splendido doppio pacchetto, con molte immagini e descrizioni del materiale, omettendo i dettagli del loro secondo CD (DAAL) in cui, inoltre, si trova una delle loro migliori composizioni (” The Dance of the Drastic Navels Part II “) Vorrei soffermarmi sul secondo CD che contiene alcune canzoni che non avevo mai ascoltato prima.” The Call of Cthulhu “è un capitolo o molto oscuro della loro discografia … graffiante, duro, disperato , con un finale degno di film horror The Suite “The Fall of the House of Usher” in puro stile gotico, con persino una parte cantata, una cosa molto rara per il gruppo “Witches” che credo faccia parte di un album tributo prodotto di Musea, e infine “Echoes” di Pink Floyd, presente anche su un tributo albu m, con il cantante del Bacio della Medusa Simone Cecchini! Un disco non solo per i completisti, ma per chiunque voglia approfondire, il mondo segreto insondabile di questa strana creatura !!

The last 12 months have been very prolific for the Daal. Exactly one year ago “Decalogue of Darkness” and “Navels falling into a living Origami” were published, and besides the drummer Davide Guidoni published his first solo album at the same time “Echoes from the undertow ” (B-Rain the name of his project). In 2019 the Daal decide to reprint a collection, which includes their second album (now sold out)” Destruktive Actions Affect Livings (D.A.A.L.), and two other discs that came out in limited edition: “Echoes of the falling stars” and “The call of the Witches”. “Archives” presents itself in a splendid double package, with many images and descriptions of the material, omitting the details of their second CD (D.A.A.L.) in which, moreover, one of their best compositions is found (“The Dance of the Drastic Navels Part II”) I would dwell on the second CD which contains some songs I have never heard before. “The Call of Cthulhu” is an o very dark chapter of their discography…scratchy, hard, desperate, with a final worthy of horror films The Suite “The Fall of the House of Usher” in pure Gothic style, with even a part sung, a very rare thing for the group “Witches” which I believe is part of a tribute album produced by Musea, and finally “Echoes” by Pink Floyd, also present on a tribute album, with the singer of the Bacio della Medusa Simone Cecchini! A record not only for completists, but for anyone who wants to go deeper, the unfathomable secret world of this strange creature!!
