FFO: Death, Sadist, Atheist
AydrA, the cult Technical/Progressive Death Metal band from Italy, is back with a vengeance. The band is set to release their highly anticipated new album, “Leave to Nowhere,” on October 10th, 2024, through Rude Awakening Records. This marks their triumphant return to the scene, twenty years after their last studio album.
“Leave to Nowhere” is a concept album that tells the harrowing tale of a migrant’s desperate journey from Eritrea to Europe, capturing the pain, struggle, and hope experienced by those seeking a better life. The album is deeply personal, drawing from the real-life experiences of AydrA’s band members, making it a powerful narrative that invites listeners to reflect on these pressing global issues.
The album features the following tracklist:
Three Minutes Walk
Deserter
Black Skin and Red Sand
They Waste a Throne
Lost Between Two Lands
Make Slaves
You Can’t Talk Anyone
Leave to Nowhere
Forever Hide
Psycho Pain Control 2024
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, AydrA has released the second single, “Psycho Pain Control 2024.” This track is a reimagined version of the opening song from their 1996 debut EP, infused with the band’s evolved sound and perspective in the 21st century. The single is now available for streaming: Listen Here. https://ditto.fm/psycho-pain-control-2024
The recording and mixing of “Leave to Nowhere” took place at WR Studios, helmed by AydrA’s drummer Marco Bianchella (also a member of Gunfire), while mastering was handled by Castaway Studios’ Paolo Ojetti (Infernal Poetry). The album’s artwork, an evocative piece titled “Delirio,” was created by artist Luca Morici.
“Leave to Nowhere” will be available in a digipack CD format as well as a limited-edition colored vinyl, with only 200 hand-numbered copies available worldwide. Pre-orders are now open via Rude Awakening Records and directly from the band.

AydrA’s journey began in the 1980s under the name Hydra as a Power/Thrash Metal band. Over the decades, they have evolved into a pillar of the Italian extreme metal scene, with releases such as “Icon of Sin” (1999) and “Hyperlogical Non-Sense” (2004). After a long hiatus, the band has returned with renewed energy and a mission to deliver thought-provoking music that resonates with their fans.
