The Foundations Of Eternal Sin

New York synth maestro, Salvatore Mercatante has joined the Castles in Space family. First coming to their attention via a pair of beautifully authentic Giallo soundtracks, this new work, The Foundations Of Eternal Sin is a fully formed darkwave synthesizer LP. Minimal, thoughtful and ice cool, yet full of heart and humanity, "...Foundations..." is forged very much from the ongoing tumultuous fabric of our current lived experiences. The eight tracks are numbered as Foundation One through to Foundation Eight.

Salvatore explains the background and inspiration for the record: "The album is about humanity falling from grace and losing the pillars of what makes us human. The "Foundations" listed in each step bring us through that journey, starting with turning our backs on benevolence. Foundations two, five and seven being physical places along the journey that we stop at, the citadel (Foundation Seven) being the final stronghold of human empathy and understanding. It's not about the end of days or the apocalypse, this is an internal struggle. Society will still move forward but with the loss of the human soul. This is something I fear every day - but there is beauty in the fall and a hope that we one day may recover to find what made us human in the first place."
