O (or Cicular Rign) are a blackened hardcore band from Biella, in the Piedmont region of Italy, who are about to release their new album titled Pietra (which means “stone”, or “rock” in Italian) as a 12″ LP + digital on Grindpromotion and Unquiet Records on October 3rd. A swirling and thundering blend of melody, introspection, sadness, anger and bitterness in aural form, with Pietra O have created a work which pulses with incinerating hardcore ferocity and glows with the icy and stark overtones of melodic black metal, creating a mesmerizing symbiosis between modern metallic hardcore and post-black metal that will surely please all fans of bands like Altar of Plagues, Deafheaven, Winterfilleth, Planks and Downfall of Gaia. To celebrate the imminent release of Pietra today we bring you the world premiere of their new video for the song “OXO.”
