THRAGEDIUM
LISBOA DEPOIS DE MORTA

In 2000, the unexpected appearance of a band with a unique blend of melodic melancholy, heavy sound and traditional Portuguese instruments took the Portuguese scene by storm. Now, after two decades, Thragedium returns, poised to honor the legacy of their debut "Theatrum XXIII" and reclaim their position as one of Portugal's most unique musical entities. Alma Mater Records is the perfect fit. "Lisboa Depois de Morta" represents a remarkable leap forward in maturity, and boldness, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of their sound like never before. In this new release, the extensive use of Portuguese traditional instruments, especially the haunting Portuguese Guitar, traditional percussion and evocative choirs, can be heard throughout, all while maintaining their indelible trait of originality. Ensuring this record has all the ingredients to make it another cult item, Thragedium enlisted the mastering expertise of Jaime Gomez Arellano (Moonspell, Paradise Lost, Ghost, Ulver). Additionally, Hugo Ribeiro (Moonspell) lent his brilliant drumming skills to the album, while Pedro Oliveira (Sétima Legião) graced the band with his vocal talent on Um Mal Necessário. Completing the team, the cover artwork design was entrusted to the renowned Travis Smith (Slayer, Megadeth, Opeth, Katatonia).
