Cesena’s Sedna has
built a reputation for music that digs deep, exploring darkness with intensity
and focus. Across their discography, they have consistently avoided shortcuts,
taking the time to craft albums that are considered, immersive, and authentic.
With “Sila Nuna,” the band turns to Inuit mythology, channeling gods, spirits,
and legends from the frozen north, and translating them into a sound that is
direct, powerful, and intensely human.
“Sila Nuna”
marks a new chapter for Sedna, one that
condenses their exploration into something sharper and more immediate. The
album moves through tales of Tulugaq, Amarok, Torngarsuk, Arnajuinnaq, and
Sedna herself, blending aggression and reflection in a way that hits hard
without losing depth. Guitar lines cut with precision, while vocals range from
raw ferocity to haunting resonance, creating a powerful interplay across the
album’s ten tracks.
Guest
appearances from Giò of Psychonaut 4 on “Amarok” and Shoco and Agnese
Alteri on the closing “Sedna” add color and intensity, weaving
seamlessly into the band’s narrative. Sedna compresses
their sound, keeping compositions concise and energetic, which gives the album
a sense of urgency that pushes every song forward.
The
production, handled by Mirko Abà and
polished by Jack Shirley, balances clarity
and heft, letting every riff and vocal contour resonate without
overcomplicating the experience. The album is a blend of black metal’s raw edge
with sludge and post-metal influences, moving through tension and release in a
way that feels instinctive yet precise. “Sila Nuna” is an album that commands
attention. It is immersive, intense, and fully formed, showing a band that
knows how to create impact and atmosphere while staying true to its vision.
