Founded in Italy in 2007, Atrium Animae merges the talents of Massimiliano Picconi (keyboards, programming) with Alessia Cicala (Conservatory-trained soprano female vocalist). The music is characterized by a "classical" approach, where the basis of the composition is represented by complex polyphonic vocal parts and expressive instruments centered around orchestral strings and horns. This becomes a new starting point from Alessia's previous experiences in Chirleison and Essences. The analysis of the human condition and its relationship with God is made on Dies Irae through a separation into two main parts. Seven dramatic tracks - 44 minutes of total playing time - of a desolate journey into an apocalyptic scenario with no hope of redemption.

Released on Projekt and available June 10th, 2011.

01 Psalmus 57
02 Rex Gloriae
