"The Chemical Bath" consists of six previously unreleased tracks for a total of 37 minutes. The album was recorded by the band at Produzioni Rumorose, the recording studio founded and run by the band itself, and mastered by James Plotkin (Isis, Horseback, Khanate, Sunn 0))), etc.). The album is also enhanced by the participation of ambient and noise artist Mauro Diciocia (Torba) and Monika Khot (Nordra, Zen Mother). Continuing the artistic quest already inaugurated with the previous album, this one also takes the form of a concept album in which the events of contemporary history intersect with the theoretical horizons of the scientific avant-garde. In particular, the events of the Russian scientists and cosmists who, at the turn of the century, propagated the idea of a science destined to defeat death as the last enemy of humanity find space. It was precisely the body of the first leader of the October Revolution, Lenin, who was the first to be made the objects of such interests: through its tracks, the record traces the events to which that body was subjected, from the first attempts at embalming, through the ultimate preservation treatment (the "chemical bath" that gives the record its title), to the construction of the imposing mausoleum with its religious cult.credits
