Three years after the second full-length ‘Faunalia', the singer/keyboardist Selvans returns with a new EP. ‘Dark Italian Art' is definitely the Manifesto of the Italian composer. Selvans confirms the prog rock and symphonic influences introducted in the previous work (with Goblin and Devil Doll ruling the roost), imprinting them definitely in his folk-horror scenery.
The EP introduces ‘Corvo Morto' (Italian for ‘Dead Crow'), a character created by Selvans in collaboration with the horror writer Luigi Musolino and to whom the track ‘Verrà Corvo Morto' (Italian for ‘Corvo Morto will come') is connected, as well as the homonimous tale attached to the 80 pages digi-book version of the EP.
