Piah Mater
Under The Shadow Of A Foreign Sun (black)
Born in 2010 from the prolific scene of Rio De Janeiro (Brazil), Piah Mater self-released their debut album "Memories of Inexistence" in 2014 and four years later they signed with code666, the cult sublabel of Aural Music to release their second album "The Wandering Daughter" receiving a very positive response from fans of the genre and worldwide underground media outlets. Now it's time for the third Opus titled "Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun" featuring Jorgen Munkeby (Shining, Emperor, Ihsahn) on saxophone and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street, Sweden. Piah Mater conjures many qualities that are common to other acts in Code666s roster. An eerie, ominous sense of melancholy, disregard for traditional song structures, an ever-evolving stylistic approach that doesnt allow for two albums to sound the same.And, at the other hand, they cover grounds that other bands dont usually tread - a cauldron of gut-wrenching death metal and atmospheric black metal seen through the kaleidoscope lens of progressive rock.
