"Smorzando: Easily the best chunk of blown out depressive black metal weirdness so far this year!
[ ] the first release from Swiss outfit Smorzando, who craft a strange and haunting world of melancholy black metal, mixing the creepy drone-y miserablism of Burzum, with strange abstract post rock, and super blown out in the red production, creating something both black and brutal, fucked up and mysterious, with a super unique sound that is as much noise rock or post rock as it is black metal.[ ] One of our new favorite slabs of depressive doom drenched black metal misery for sure.

- Aquarius Records: Highlights of the week, 25 July 2008
(Read the whole review on www.aquariusrecords.org)
In spite of the overall appearance, Smrad was our tentative attempt of celebrating and giving in to the festive side of the bifurcating wholeness of music.
Popo-poiesis, the ug-BM-4tracker-way. Ex-pression, ex-pulsion, ex-sistence, ex-c. plain excreta and we hope - a little excitement too.
After a couple of tapes, which were spread amongst friends, “Smrad” is not only our current output but moreover the first and possibly last attempt to reach an interested audience. (Hence this very info page, its sole purpose is to propose a musical insight)
Concerning our MONICKER:
“Smorzando” is a technical term in music theory –
This hopefully dispels some of the recurring perplexities of the Italian audience.
Mi fà molto piacere sapere che i brani ti siano piaciuti . grazie! Ti ho scoperto tramite una segnalazione di Lonesummer. Drew ha anche cantato su un brano di Rhuith che uscirà su un nuovo cd.r credo a fine a agosto. A breve caricherò il brano sul player di myspace. a presto! =XV=
Thanks for the add. Your sound is outstanding. It's so haunting. What are the details about the tUMULt release? Is it just a reissue of Smrad? I'm definitely gonna get Smrad from Aquarius ASAP
You've got some good music going. I read your bio and it's a shame that your last tape release will probably be your last, I'd love to hear the progression of the band. I will hopefully be able to purchase your cd from midwinter records soon
Grazie a voi per aver accettato la richiesta e complimenti per i pezzi, sono davvero interessanti e particolari. Vi va di fare uno scambio di materiale? Saluti, Filippo
