“The Grey Zone Phobia\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is the fifth release by Avantgarde Black Metal project\u00a0DERHEAD<\/strong>\u00a0and it will be released via\u00a0Brucia Records<\/strong>\u00a0in digital and 6 panels Digipack CD format on\u00a0March 30, 2023<\/strong>.

The first single\u00a0“The Death of Now”<\/strong>\u00a0is now streaming at\u00a0Machine Music<\/a><\/strong>.

After the critically acclaimed \u201cIrrational I\u201d,\u00a0DERHEAD<\/strong>\u00a0is back with its very own distinctive take on Avantgarde Black Metal, this time contaminated by an incredibly heterogeneous range of sounds spacing from Doom \/ Gothic Metal to what Satyricon released during the “Rebel Extravaganza” era.

Much like with the previous EP,\u00a0\u201cThe Grey Zone Phobia\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>offers a meditation about the contrasting nature of our place within the cogwheels of time, leading us to contemplate the contrast between reality and our inner self, and between memories and dreams. Lyrics draw inspiration from various sources including the work by philosophers such as Henri Bergson, relativity studies and fuzzy logic, and far from proposing ready-made answers they in fact underline the complexity of our existence, inviting us to go beyond the apparent dichotomy of black and white and on to face the \u201cgrey area\u201d, which ultimately is life itself.

The fantastic original artwork made by Cesare Bignotti (who also lent his vision to the previous two releases of\u00a0DERHEAD<\/strong>) further expands upon the main themes of the album: images have been taken with a long exposure technique similar to what was used with Dadaist and Futurist photography, and films developed without any artificial effects in post-production, in order to tell an honest and transparent story about the place we as human beings occupy within the abstract instance known as Time.

\u201cThe Grey Zone Phobia\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is a multifaceted album that does not try to be forcibly eccentric, but flows effortlessly mixing raw and aggressive riffs with the epic grandeur of more\u00a0sophisticated and slower parts, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats for its whole duration.

DERHEAD<\/strong>\u00a0is a solo project from Genoa (Italy). The project was created in 2001 by\u00a0Giorgio Barroccu<\/strong>, a multi – instrumentalist active for many years in various projects and also founder and co-owner of\u00a0Brucia Records<\/strong>.

From the first demo recorded in 2003 and influenced by the industrial, experimental black metal typical of those years, Derhead has in time developed its very unique style – mixing aggressive riffs to more atmospheric passages.

The second demo released in 2013 already showed signs of compositional maturity and balance which were then refined in the project\u2019s first EP \u201cVia\u201d released in 2016.

In 2020\u00a0DERHEAD<\/strong>\u00a0released its second EP \u201cIrrational I\u201d to critical acclaim, with the release being especially praised by the press for its unique songwriting and emotional intensity.

On March 30th, 2023<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0DERHEAD<\/strong>\u00a0will release its first full-length album\u00a0\u201cThe Grey Zone Phobia\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0on digital and digipak CD via\u00a0Brucia Records<\/strong>.
