From the mountains of Madrid comes Antino, the haunting one-woman project of pianist and vocalist TeresaMarraco. With her ethereal voice and stark, piano-driven arrangements, Antino shapes soundscapes whereneoclassical elegance collides with the atmospheric weight of metal, weaving music that is at once fragile,immersive, and profoundly melancholic. Fans of artists like Agnes Obel or Enya will find resonance here, yetAntino’s world is darker, steeped in reflection, loss, and yearning.Since it’s inception in 2021, Antino has embraced a uniquely personal approach to darkness, building her songsaround intimate piano compositions intertwined with her rich, resonant voice. Marraco’s background in extrememusic further anchors her vision: she has collaborated with acts such as Coldborn, Elffor, Balmog, and Empty,and recorded the piano/keyboard parts for Dimmu Borgir’s live performance of Det Nye Riket at Beyond theGates Festival. Her 2023 debut, “Whispers from the Dark Past”, an acoustic reinterpretation of 90s Norwegianblack metal classics, garnered critical attention and cemented her distinctive identity on the border between metaland neoclassical expression.Now, Antino unveils her first full-length album of original material: “The Fold”. A conceptual journey thatnavigates the acceptance of death, tracing the process of “folding inward,” to confront different stages of grief,one by one, inviting us to walk a deeply personal path that nonetheless exposes universal themes such asexistentialism and the embracing of chaos as a necessary part of oneself. With “The Fold”, Antino transcendsgenre boundaries to deliver music that is delicate, symphonic, and unflinchingly dark, an invitation to step intoshadows and discover their hidden beauty.
