Today, September 13th, Italian progressive post-rockers STRANIA have unleashed their new single ‘Metempsychosis’, featuring Mattia Braghero as guest vocalist. The single is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album “Acceptance”, out later this Fall via Diotima Records.
The band shared:
“Metempsychosis is a song that tells the story of an old man who ventures into the woods to reunite with Mother Nature in his final moments, allowing her to take care of his body and soul. As he walks deeper into the forest, he feels observed by the surrounding trees, which are the reincarnations of those who, like him, sought final peace in that place.”

METEMPSYCHOSIS – lyrics:
I am too old
To wake once more
My life was long
I’ve come to rest
In your green chest
Mighty forest
Open your arms
Show me the path
To reach your heart
Those who died
In this place
Found a new home
For their soul
My spirit
Is a seed
From the ground
Trees will grow
They breath they breath
Like human beings
Their bark’s moving
They see they see
They’re watching me
Walking dying
It lives they live
This place the trees
Surrounding me
In this magic place
Now i see her face
She is everywhere
Mother please take care
Of my worn out body
Of my broken bones
You’ll turn them into new
Trees, life must go on

More information:
STRANIA is an Italian progressive post-rock band, formed in the province of Florence by Andrea Borgioli, Mattia Nicolini and Giacomo Bracci in the summer of 2019. The band reached its current four-piece lineup in late summer 2022.
The members of the band have a very heterogeneous musical culture, but the meeting point between them is highlighted in the post-rock genre, which leaves a lot of expressive and compositional freedom to the group. In fact, all the songs are composed in a collective creative process in the rehearsal room, which can sometimes even last whole day sessions, taking care of the smallest detail.
Current lineup:
– Andrea Borgioli, guitar;
– Mattia Nicolini, guitar;
– Giacomo Bracci, drums;
– Jacopo D’Arpino, bass.
