Those who remember the monthly Metal Storm compilations will remember Italian band Aleph. Sadly, the band has recently broke up. Their 2016's Thanatos album will then be their last, after 20 years of music.

The band explained: "Metalheads, Aleph's journey has come to its end. It's really hard to write this to you; but Aleph no longer exists, starting from this very moment. This choice doesn't originate from problems within the band, but from awareness. We've said to you all we had to. And we both know that further words ain't that necessary. Here we come to close our wonderful circle.

"I get to my own core,
to my key, to the algebra,
to my mirror.
Soon I'll know who I am"
(J.L. Borges, Elogio de la sombra)

"Aleph has stood for madness, uniqueness and passion, lack of compromise and obscure force; endless abysses and that same fire in which we've forged 3 demo tapes, 4 records and have burnt stages for 20 years. Our fire. An unextinguishable fire. Thank you.

"May darkness - once more and forever on - be revealing. Dave, Manuel, Gas, Ceres, Hypnos, Aleph, MMXVIII."
