Recorded in the wake of vocalist Stefania Pedretti's successful battles with cancer and encephalitis, the album is a masterpiece of dance-doom. Stark beats, primitive synths, sludgy guitars, and Pedretti's otherworldly vocalizations combine in what Decibel Magazine has hailed as “a David Lynch dance party." Guests on the album include Kenyan techno-metal phenom Lord Spikeheart. 25 years into its career, OvO continues to march down its own strange path and deliver dazzling works of art along the way.
"Our previous albums were mostly focused on the dark side," states OvO's Bruno Dorella. "But after Stefania being on the edge of death in the last few years, we felt like focusing on birth, rebirth, nature."

"It’s hard to describe OvO's sound, because they interweave so many genres seamlessly to create something that makes me feel like I’ve fallen into an abyss and landed in an earth witch’s lair. Whether it’s the thudding, buzzsaw sound of '90s industrial, or the scathing vocals, or the almost playful EBM beats and melodies that make me want to dance, these two musicians bring a weight of experience and talent to every track they record."
–CVLT Nation
"Their music is fluid and difficult to categorise – incorporating extreme metal, noise rock, no wave, free jazz – but always rooted in the duo's deeply felt trust, balanced input and artistic chemistry. Their latest album 'Gemma' is a significant leap forward, rich with electronic sound and an undeniable vibrancy, cutting through the doom like a glittering knife."
