At long last, and after a wait of more than fifteen years, IANVA’s legendary release“L’Occidente” is finally back in a fully revamped and complete, definitive version. The album displays a new, extended tracklist as a sort of response from IANVA to the current historical phase we’re in, and is also an answer to the many requests received during the years.

While this edition is missing the song “In Battaglia” (which has already been included in“Memento X-C” for more consistency), three new tracks have been added that weren’t completed at the time of the original release.

These are two cover songs – “Oceania”, by the Italian songwriter Mario Castelnuovo, and“In Germania, all’Anteguerra”, an Italian remake of “In Germany before the War” by Randy Newman, masterfully translated by Mercy – and most of all a new, previously unreleased original song, that makes all the difference: “Terminale Balcanico”, postponed for so long and that nowadays sounds so hauntingly prophetic.

So, IANVA invites all of you to come aboard: it’s time to set sail. Heading Westward, let’s go dance over the Abyss. Do not fear that seats may sell out. The Abyss can easily accommodate us all…
