Prepare to be drawn into a world where catharsis meets the desert’s desolate beauty. Dark psych folk visionary NERO KANE, alongside his enigmatic collaborator Samantha Stella, is set to release his fourth studio album, “For the Love, the Death and the Poetry”, on September 26, 2025, via Subsound Records. Accompanying this announcement is the unveiling of an experimental short film for the album’s lead single, “As an Angel’s Voice”, a track described by Kane himself as “A desert of the soul. The Love we were never given, a flutter of wings, the fall into the End. The Eternal.“

From his California debut to widespread acclaim, NERO KANE has meticulously crafted a unique and profoundly personal sound. “For the Love, the Death and the Poetry” is no exception; it’s a folk liturgy that navigates the complex terrain of eternal love, the raw fascination with death, and ghostly poetics. Listeners will find themselves immersed in a soundscape that American Songwriter magazine previously lauded as “A desert procession for the living, in goth-folk-style, searching for a belief.“

The album’s sound references the apocalyptic folk of Michael Gira/Jarboe/Swans, the gospel spirituality of Nick Cave, the perdition of Johnny Cash, and the tragic poems of Nico – the latter being evoked in Stella’s algid spoken word, as critics have pointed out. It also incorporates the vision of Jodorowsky and the sick sound of Italian Occult Psychedelia, an element that especially defines their live performances as captivating, shamanic, and unearthly.

Tracklist:

1. As an Angel’s Voice
2. My Pain Will Come Back to You
3. Unto Thee Oh Lord *
4. Land of Nothing
5. Mountain of Sin
6. The World Heedless of our Pain
7. Receive my Tears
8. There Is No End
9. Until the Light of Heaven Comes
   *track included only in the CD and digital version

The single “As an Angel’s Voice” is accompanied by an experimental short film directed by Samantha Stella, focusing on objects and symbols that have shaped NERO KANE‘s artistic journey. The musician describes the track with these words: “A desert of the soul. The Love we were never given, a flutter of wings, the fall into the End. The Eternal.” In the images, the dimensions of past and present reiterate an incessant circularity. Kane and Stella become imprisoned souls in the gothic atmospheres that recall the overturning of life and death roles in Alejandro Amenábar’s film The Others.

“As if Bela Tarr and Sergei Parajanov found themselves with Alejandro Jodorowsky in the American desert,” Stella remarks. The short film will be on display at the beginning of October 2025 at the MAIIIM Centre for Contemporary Arts in Genoa on the occasion of the anthological exhibition of Samantha Stella.

“For the Love, the Death and the Poetry” will be coming out on September 26 via Subsound Records in vinyl, CD and digital formats and is available for pre-order here:

Psych Dark Folk songwriter NERO KANE just recently announced his new full-length record “Of Knowledge and Revelation”, which will be coming out on September 30th via Italy’s experimental label Subsound Records. In support of the album, Nero Kane has shared a brand new music video for the track “Lady of Sorrow”. 

“Lady of Sorrow” was shot by visual artist, performer and filmmaker Samantha Stella, who is not only featured as a vocalist on Nero Kane‘s upcoming album, but who also directed the experimental films for Nero Kane‘s previous records, where Kane and Stella are the protagonists. A garden of dried flowers welcomes the preacher Kane in a visionary and circular journey where love and death are exchanging their roles as in a Dante’s circle between Heaven and Hell. A reference to the incipit that introduces the album, an excerpt from the writings of the mystic Mechthild Von Magdeburg, from which the title of the record is taken. 

“Of Knowledge and Revelation” was recorded near Venice in a fertile collaboration with producer Matt Bordin (Squadra Omega / Omega Mai / Italian Occult Psychedelia) of Outside Inside Studio and will be available in CD/LP/digital formats. You can get the album here:

In the last five years Kane and Stella performed together for Nero Kane’s concerts in clubs, theaters, churches, museums and art galleries in Italy, Europe, UK and Los Angeles.

Psych Dark Folk songwriter Nero Kane just announced his brand new album “Of Knowledge and Revelation”, which will see the light of day on September 30th via Italy’s experimental label Subsound Records!

“Of Knowledge and Revelation marks a new path in my constant spiritual pilgrimage through darkness, fog and light. A journey made of solitude, of rise and fall, in a world that recalls Dante’s Limbo. I love feeding myself with visions, literature and painting in particular.” Nero Kane states. 

Nero Kane’s psych dark folk world is intimate, minimal and decadent. Both in his vocals and guitar style, his European roots intertwine with America’s desert sound in a project full of emotional vision and cinematic Jlavour. His music has been defined as a suspended and crepuscular journey particularly concerned with death, religion and love.”Of Knowledge and Revelation”, Nero Kane’s third studio album, was recorded near Venice in a fertile collaboration with producer Matt Bordin (Squadra Omega / Omega Mai / Italian Occult Psychedelia) of Outside Inside Studio, and features visual artist, performer and filmmaker Samantha Stella, whose voice has been defined as “evoking the ghost of Nico”. In the last five years Kane and Stella performed together for Nero Kane’s concerts in clubs, theaters, churches, museums and art galleries in Italy, Europe, UK and Los Angeles. Their live performances have been described as journeys through darkness and melancholy, with the creation of a morbid beauty and an intensity which make them unique.

Tracklist reads as follows:

1. Lady of Sorrow
