Italian depressive post‑black metal duo Eyelessight will re‑release their opus Athazagorafobia on 17 December through Austrian label Talheim Records. Originally unveiled in 2018, the album now returns in a new edition featuring two bonus tracks, accompanied by a visualizer video for “Vuota Solitudine”, one of the newly added pieces.
For Eyelessight, Athazagorafobia is more than an album—it is a descent into the fragile corridors of human despair. The band describe it as “a journey within oneself—fragile, raw, and inevitable. An odyssey through the shadowed corridors of loss, where the echo of abandonment becomes both torment and companion.”
The record begins with the absence of a loved one and spirals into the collapse of everything once taken for granted. Reality strips itself bare, leaving only ghosts of what was. Nostalgia rises like a fever, blurring the line between memory and hallucination, as entire worlds are built from what no longer exists. Yet the cruel truth remains: nothing returns, everything has ended.
From this collapse emerges silence—the unbearable solitude of facing life alone, with no one left to mirror existence. The present becomes hollow and sterile, haunted by fragments of the past. At the end lies the final awareness: emotions are gone forever, no heart will awaken ours again. What remains is surrender to stillness, the cold comfort of eternal anhedonia, where feeling itself fades into a distant dream.
With this re‑release, Eyelessight invites listeners once more into their bleak, immersive soundscapes—an uncompromising reflection on loss, memory, and the futility of resurrection. Link
