May 18 2024 will be release their second album entitled "Undeclinable Ways" for Earache Records.
The International Press has said about their debut album:
". If Partinico Rose will have the opportunity to enjoy a good production, the future could reveal a new Italian music column to the world."
"The album is full of great string arrangements and powerful drums, the bass guitar involves the listener into a dark, sad, angry mood as the title refers, the lyrics reflect that sense of loss and the sensation of being reading your favorite Horror novel under the leaves of a big tree in a calm forest.
It reminds me a lot of post punk from the 80’s, it combines the New Wave elements from that era, the influence of Goth Bands such as The Wake, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, and Sisters of Mercy set the elements to create this new and fresh sound.
No doubt these guys from Sicilia, have delivered a masterpiece, an iconic debut album."
" Let's just hope they manage to make themselves known as much as possible and receive attention: it would be a pity that such a promising reality would pass over in silence."
