BLACK HEARTS IN BLACK SUITS: A collaboration born of a long separation. Seven years after the highly acclaimed ARMAGEDDON GIGOLO, Simone Salavatori and Stefano Puri once again find theirpaths crossing. BLACK HEARTS IN BLACK SUITS is the result of three years of work, composed byStefano Puri specifically for SPIRITUAL FRONT, with Simone Salvatori lending his voice and interpretation (as intense and charismatic as ever) to the composer"s music.The poems of Reiner Werner Fassbinder are given new light as they materialize into musical form asStefano Puri sits at the piano and joins Simone Salvatori on a voyage of no return. The SYMPOSIUMENSEMBLE and the BLACK HEARTS CHOIR round out the endeavor. The composer"s writing - in one moment minimal and introspective, in the next dark and theatrical - follows ancestral pathways along which the singers voice moves between intimacy and majesty, between heavy chords and lightharmonies, between airy string passages and obscure choral harmonies.A concept album more akin to an opera than to the traditional LP, BLACK HEARTS IN BLACK SUITS is a fascinating symphonic journey that takes us through the darkest nihilistic sides of both the composer and the icon of "Suicide Pop". From Franz Schubert to Nick Cave, Michael Nyman to David Tibet, from Arvo Pärt to Marc Almond... with no way back!Limited cardboard-Box edition (299 copies), including exclusive BONUS-CD, Postcard, Sticker, Silver Heart Pendant, Black Velvet Bag.Released early December, 2013 on Rustblade.
