Solnegre (/ˈsɔɫnə.ɣɾə/) is the Vessel through which we channel our creative impulses and somber thoughts. We consider that this kind of aggressive, melancholic and atmospheric music is a natural language to us, to express not only how we feel, but who we really are… in essence. Solnegre is us without a mask.
Its core is a four-piece assembly formed by Gebre and Rigel, bandmates since 1995, who were respectively long-term member and founder of the Doom Metal sextet Helevorn, being main composers on the said project. Through the decades, they managed to successfully release up to four albums and acquired a considerable know how on the Scene and a vast network of peer contacts, which allowed them to play in more than 12 countries on Europe and the Americas, times alone and in some other occasions with some of the biggest names of the doom/death metal scene (Swallow the Sun, Katatonia, Saturnus, Moonspell, Officium Triste, Draconian…the list goes on and on….)
“Vessel Part I: The Night Within” is intended to be the Band’s introduction and reflects very well how much we are influenced by the Old School vibe. The Slow but catchy vibe may remind an early Saturnus/Katatonia, and it moves in a solemn, procession-like mood until the central part, when a massive ultra-virtuosistic solo by Mike Le Rossetti, a guest international guitar virtuoso that lives quite close to us and who happens also to be a good friend, takes over to a cataclysmic conclusion.
