Italian progressive post-rockers STRANIA will release their debut album “Acceptance” on October 18th via Diotima Records! Today the band reveals the first details of their first opus, alongside the tracklisting.
The band shared:
“Our first album, “Acceptance”, is a collection of songs composed between spring 2021 and early 2023 and revolves around the personification of nature and the conflictual relationship between mankind and nature herself, whose role constantly shifts from being a saviour and merciful mother to that of a cruel and destructive entity in the eyes of man.
We recorded the instrumental parts of the album at “La Fucina Studio” between April and May of 2023. Not having an official singer during that period, the vocals were recorded between June and July of the same year by four local singers, each singing on one of the songs, thus giving every piece a certain feel thanks to their different styles and musical backgrounds. All the tracks were mixed and mastered at the same studio by the end of the summer.
The hard work, patience and sacrifice that went into the composition (often troubled and complex) and the recording of this album are rewarded by our trust and love toward music as a whole, and we hope that “Acceptance” and our future works can reach and inspire as many people as possible.”
“Acceptance” Tracklist:
1. The Tide’s Echo 7:22
2. It’s Meant To Be 6:40
3. Metempsychosis 4:21
4. Nothing Remains 7:38
5. Lost At Sea 10:34
Total length 36:35
More details to be revealed soon, stay tuned!

The band on ‘Metempsychosis’:
“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.”
Further news on STRANIA’s activities will be revealed in the coming weeks!
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.
