OIGRES

Oigres is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Sergio Vinci (formerly the mind of the black metallers Lilyum, with whom he recorded 9 albums). The project was born in 2015 in Turin at the behest of Sergio Vinci himself. The line-up undergoes various changes until Sergio’s final decision to continue alone, taking care of all the instruments. If in the first album of 2019 entitled “Psycho” the line up featured guests on bass and lead guitar, in this second album “Don’t Stay Close To Me” Sergio Vinci took care of all the composition, recording, arrangements, lyrics, vocals, production and mastering. This new work sees Sergio evolve the style of his own project, using seven and especially eight string guitars, crossing into new territories such as doom, djent and extreme metal. Sergio’s points of reference are masters of modern and alternative metal such as Pantera, Meshuggah, Yob, Otep and Deftones. It is precisely from these bases that the new “Don’t Stay Close To Me” draws. An even heavier and darker album than the previous one, with lyrics that deal with depression, schizophrenia, paranoia, social issues and mental distress in general. The peculiarity of the texts is that they are written in the first person, as if it were an internal dialogue of a mentally disturbed person who writes his feelings and thoughts in a diary. This second album is a journey into the darkest depths of the human mind. Sergio Vinci is currently active in other projects, and in each he tries to offer something different.
