The first concept album by Marco Nuzzo is presented — Abiogenesis, a sonic journey through the majesty of the origin of the verse.
FOLLOW THE FANPAGE
Only the trembling of the void, the fractured breath of matter unaware of its own being. Abiogenesis does not recount birth, it dissolves it. It is a journey through flesh turned ritual, sound turned ruin, divinity emerging from mud.
Abiogenesis by Marco Nuzzo is a work that challenges every conventional narrative of origin. It does not recount birth: it dissolves it. This sonic journey moves between the trembling of the void and the fractured breath of matter, where flesh becomes ritual and sound consumes itself in ruin. Divinity does not descend from above but emerges from mud, in a process that is more evocation than creation. Abiogenesis is experience, intuition, disintegration: a poetic and visceral crossing of the formless.

Divinity does not descend from above but emerges from mud, in a process that is more evocation than creation. Abiogenesis is experience, intuition, disintegration: a poetic and visceral crossing of the formless.Abiogenesis by Marco Nuzzo is decidedly a concept album — and not just any. It is a work that builds a philosophical and sonic system around the idea of origin, ruin, prayer, and return, but it does so without ever seeking redemption. It is a journey unfolding in ritual sections, each with its own language, symbolism, and tension.
Conceptual structure: The album is divided into clearly defined sections — genesis, ruin, catabasis, prayer, return, coda — which do not follow a linear narrative but an ontological transformation. Each part represents a phase of being that disintegrates, searches, prays, and finally refracts.
The concept of “Abiogenesis”: The very title refers to the scientific theory of the origin of life from the non-living. But here, Marco Nuzzo transfigures it: Abiogenesis becomes a metaphor for the emergence of the subject from the void, of consciousness as error, of flesh as the site of fracture.
Still layers and unwed waves, the spell weaves a hallowed chant,
In vain, flawed garments recite their seams, in sacred trance suppliant.
Beasts and we, with waiting stares, where currents weave and part,
Shapes meld in water’s gathering, where tides consume the heart.
I linger as the river’s mouth, a measured, flowing stream,
In fleeting sanctity’s embrace, I bind the peat and dream.
In the tide’s eternal hymn, where sacred veils entwine!
Flawed garments tear the void, where waiting gazes shine!
From boundless shores I rise, through currents’ ceaseless roar,
A pulse of holy light, where peat and life restore!
Unwed waves and silent strata, a chant in whispers calls,
The garments falter, vainly strewn, beneath the sacred thralls.
Our eyes, with beasts, await the surge, where waters twist and blend,
In liquid throngs of fleeting forms, where tides and dreams ascend.
I am the estuary’s breath, a stream of method worn,
In moments’ hallowed spark, the peat and life reborn.
In the tide’s eternal hymn, where sacred veils entwine!
Flawed garments tear the void, where waiting gazes shine!
From boundless shores I rise, through currents’ ceaseless roar,
A pulse of holy light, where peat and life restore!
I stood at the edge, outstretched through tides that never cease,
Where peat and life converge, in sanctity’s release.
No veil withstands the flood, no chant escapes the storm,
In the torrent’s sacred pulse, my essence drowns in scorn.
Still layers and unwed waves, the spell weaves a hallowed chant,
In vain, flawed garments recite their seams, in sacred trance suppliant.
Beasts and we, with waiting stares, where currents weave and part,
Shapes meld in water’s gathering, where tides consume the heart.
I linger as the river’s mouth, a measured, flowing stream,
In fleeting sanctity’s embrace, I bind the peat and dream.
In the tide’s eternal hymn, where sacred veils entwine!
Flawed garments tear the void, where waiting gazes shine!
In the tide’s eternal hymn, where sacred veils entwine!
Flawed garments tear the void, where waiting gazes shine!
From boundless shores I rise, through currents’ ceaseless roar,
A pulse of holy light, where peat and life restore!
Unwed waves and silent strata, a chant in whispers calls,
The garments falter, vainly strewn, beneath the sacred thralls.
Our eyes, with beasts, await the surge, where waters twist and blend,
In liquid throngs of fleeting forms, where tides and dreams ascend.
I am the estuary’s breath, a stream of method worn,
In moments’ hallowed spark, the peat and life reborn.
In the tide’s eternal hymn, where sacred veils entwine!
Flawed garments tear the void, where waiting gazes shine!
From boundless shores I rise, through currents’ ceaseless roar,
A pulse of holy light, where peat and life restore!
Unwed waves and silent strata, a chant in whispers calls,
In liquid throngs of fleeting forms, where tides and dreams ascend.
I am the estuary’s breath, a stream of method worn,
In moments’ hallowed spark, the peat and life reborn.
In the tide’s eternal hymn, where sacred veils entwine!
Flawed garments tear the void, where waiting gazes shine!
Texts and symbolism: The lyrics are dense, poetic, often written in a style that recalls liturgy, philosophy, mythology. Figures such as Goddess Ialina, Selene, Evergete, and The Hieromant are not characters but deformed archetypes, symbols of a broken spirituality. The words are chosen with surgical precision: every verse is a fissure, every image a trauma.
Music and atmosphere: The sound is liquid, unstable, layered. Dark environments, torn voices, glitches, distortions, and ritual silences. It does not accompany: it tears. It does not console: it evokes. This is music that is heard with the body, not only with the ear.
Influences and references: The album converses with:
- Deleuze and Guattari: the subject as flow, chaos as generative
- Cioran: a spectral presence
- Cyclic cosmologies: ekpyrosis, palingenesis, apocatastasis
- Gnostic liturgies: where knowledge does not save, but reveals ruin
- Conceptual and post-industrial art: where sound is matter and silence is structure
In summary, Abiogenesis is a concept album in the most radical sense: it does not tell a story, it builds a world. A world where life is not born but happens. Where the subject is not formed but fractured. Where return is not salvation but a deformed echo.
