The Last Hour unveils ‘It Is the Hour’ – Out now
Italian darkwave composer Roberto Del Vecchio, the mind behind The Last Hour, has released his latest collection, “It Is the Hour.” This project is a curated mix of remastered past works alongside new versions of older songs, offering a fresh interpretation of the band’s atmospheric sound. The release evokes dizzy memories of fading illusions, death, and the timeless space between dream and reality.
The new collection serves as both a reflection on past musical chapters and a continuation of the band’s evolution, as Del Vecchio explores themes of life, death, and the suspended moments that lie between.
The Last Hour is no stranger to the dark music scene. Founded in 2004, Del Vecchio first gained recognition with the song “Into Empty Depth”, which appeared on the Cold Meat Industry sampler “Flowers Made of Snow”. His career has spanned several decades, with the project’s self-titled debut album released in 2008 on Other Voices Records. The follow-up, “Deadline”, came in 2014 via Seventh Crow Records, and the band’s most recent album, “Black Eyes”, was released in 2022, featuring Carlo Baldini on bass and synth.
The Last Hour is an integral part of Del Vecchio’s long-standing career in the dark music genre. Over the years, he has worked on other projects like Gothica and Les Jumeaux Discordants”, further cementing his influence on the scene”. “With “It Is the Hour,” Del Vecchio once again demonstrates his mastery in blending nostalgia with forward-thinking soundscapes, inviting listeners to reflect on life’s transient nature.”
Fans can explore “It Is the Hour” on major platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon.
