Following the release of their first single »La Stessa Idea«, Italian post-stoner rockers Allume return with »Espressionismi«, unveiling the second track from their forthcoming album »Ex Luto«, due out September 18th, 2026 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records on deluxe colored vinyl and digital.

With »Espressionismi«, Allume reveal another facet of »Ex Luto«. Urgent, hypnotic and emotionally charged, the new single pairs crushing post-stoner riffs with immersive atmospheres, further showcasing the band’s evolution towards a heavier, more focused and uncompromising sound.
Recorded almost entirely live during the summer of 2024, »Ex Luto« captures the band’s raw chemistry and dynamic intensity, embracing the imperfections and energy of a genuine live performance while pushing their songwriting into darker and more expressive territory.
The band says: “Recorded almost entirely live during the summer of 2024 at Villa Ridente, »Ex Luto« marks a defining moment in our evolution, bringing our post-stoner sound to its most visceral and refined form.
Most of the material was written during the suspended months of the pandemic and became a cathartic process, a necessary journey through loss, change and transformation. Compared to our debut »O.D.E.«, this album is far more direct, both musically and lyrically. The guitars became towering walls of sound, the bass carved deep psychedelic textures, while the rhythm section embraced heavy, obsessive grooves rooted in stoner rock.
Every song is meant to hit with raw impact. Recording live allowed us to preserve the urgency, tension and imperfections that define who we are. »Ex Luto« isn’t about perfection. It’s an album that breathes, pulses and leaves its mark.”
»Ex Luto« out September 18th, 2026 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
