The Nordic Folk duo A Tergo Lupi captivates audiences once again with their latest video release for Anma ed Préia (Souls of Stone), a track from their acclaimed album Hide, which debuted in November 2022. Fabio del Carro and Camilla M. Ferrari, hailing from Italy, decided to infuse their own Modenese and Milanese dialects into their music in this beautiful song.
This time, A Tergo Lupi presents the landscapes of their homeland in yet another awe-inspiring music video, while showing us how they have embarked on a musical journey that showcases their evolution as artists. Delving deeper into the exploration of vocal expression, a clear mark left on Hide, they accompany the singing with the enchanting instrumental arrangements that have become their signature sound.

Translation:
A Tergo Lupi – Soul of Stone
Thunders and rain,
the trees howl.
We are made
of ashes and shadows,
fog and
a pinch of powder.
Windy evening,
smoke of fate.
Star,
open a chink.
Star,
keep it open.
It’s snowing ashes
fever, dreams
burn in the veins
they wake up blood.
Ash,
earth and bones.
Ash,
flesh and fire.
Soul of stone.
Soul of stone.
Star,
open a chink.
Star,
keep it open.
Heart of leaves,
thorns and blood of
them who
only want
to drink.

This is one of my favourite songs of A Tergo Lupi <3 They are really one of a kind! Well, two of a kind :)
Couldn’t agree more, Daniela. The album itself is a masterpiece too!
