Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
12-inch red vinyl record and 36-page color artbook. Edition of 300. Co-produced by Occulto, Archaeological Records and Dio Drone. Released on November 25th, 2023, the anniversary of a tsunami caused by a volcanic eruption in Stromboli in 1343, as well as the international day for the elimination of violece against women.
Alos’s new ritual "Embrace the Darkness" emerged from an on-site, practice-based artistic research undertaken on the island of Stromboli in the summer of 2022. With this release, Occulto continues working its way to becoming a small publishing house, and builds on its decades-long active involvement in the experimental music scene, which included the organisation of two performances by Alos in Berlin, in 2015 and 2018.
