Heathen Harvest Periodical REVIEW. Atrium Animae - Dies Irae22-02-2012
RATING 5/5!
"“Dies Irae” is perfect in every way one chooses to look at it, displaying an incredibly elevated level of technical achievement, in vocal performances as well as orchestrations and execution [...].
Whatever musical influences are discerned in the beginning are quickly put away, as this recording stands out in its own right as one of the best in the genre.
Genuinely emotional music that burns bright to the heart’s very core, casting off all layers of superficiality with a remarkable ease, as precise in its certainty as is the calling of true, sincere faith.
The experience is similar to a personal revelation, and in that sense it remains true to the origins and purpose of religion.
Regardless of the beliefs you hold it is impossible not to be moved by it."
Started in 2003 as a column ("The Heathen Harvest Music Review") of the "Radical Faeries Digest" print magazine, Heathen Harvest is a reference point of the post-industrial, neoclassical, neofolk movement.

Track played on the show: Psalmus 57
"The Italian band Atrium Animae was formed in 2007, their name is “considered as a symbolic representation of the passage from physical world toward an immaterial world.” The heavenly soprano of Alessia Cicala, a member of the band Chirleison, partnered with the compositions of Massimiliano Picconi, together create music on their debut “Dies Irae” that is stately in its atmosphere, a sacred enveloping that is almost funerial in outlook. Or as the band’s promotional material puts it: “A symbolic voyage in a silent wasteland made of treachery, defeat and spiritual hunger. A world where the locked embrace of loss and despair are represented through a reinterpretation of passages taken from religious and pagan texts.” Sublime, and an excellent addition to the genre of neoclassical darkwave."

Fantastic FEARnet REVIEW. Atrium Animae - Dies Irae04-06-2011
"One of the coolest techniques used on Dies Irae is the intricate layering of vocals, blending multiple tracks of Cicala's operatic voice and weaving it together with different ranges of male vocals. Combined with slow, epic waves of brass and strings, the resulting effect feels like a black cloud passing over a cathedral"
