“PANORAMICA DEGLI ABISSI (2026, Subsound Records + Gymnocal Industries) is a plunge into the heart of a hallucination, sinking and resurfacing to become a wild, sprawling three-dimensional project on the border between audio, video, literature and illustration. It is the second album by TO DIE ON ICE, with sounds and influences that retrieve and delve deeper into the nebulous Lynch Core of the first record, adding — to the disturbed Black-Lodge-style sensuality, the minimalist noir jazz at ten thousand atmospheres, the soul-blues dilations and sudden vocal lacerations — a few further acts of madness, such as an a cappella screamo-gospel moment, a touch of Fred Bongusto in a doom key, and two features with Francesca Bono and Vespertina.” “Perhaps it wasn’t supposed to turn out this way, but PANORAMICA DEGLI ABISSI has become the expression of that collective thing — capable of speaking through different grammars — that in the first album we had only imagined, like when you open your eyes convinced you’ve just woken from a nightmare, only to realize it’s all real. For us it’s an enormous project, one of those things you only understand you can pull off by actually doing it, not just thinking about it. There is a story illustrated by Vitt Moretta, for which the album — not even remotely attempting to be a soundtrack — is an alternative narration, and there is an irritating “visual album” directed by Lulu Withheld, which provocatively overturns the very concept of the music video. And then of course there’s this very strange bridge (the only one that really makes sense) between Italy and Norway, with Subsound and Gymnocal Industries, who believed in this mad thing which, in the end, is clearly also a bit hard to explain.”
