Yoga Darśana

Barren wastelands, a distant moon. Far screeches: gloomy rituals. Piercing cries. The deepest indigo, a desolate and rude imagery. Yoga-darśana : this is a den of iniquity. Hyperlacrimae’s savage sound shows the Italian duo’s roots in industrial music with the addition of a strong dark-infused oniric attitude. Straddling post-industrial sounds and a personal style with tribal and catacombic features, a sort of mystical and distorted ritual, a wild dance with an ancient and primordial flavour. The LP oscillates between a raw intense dynamism - fully demonstrated by “Kobra”, the album’s climax, “Kogawa No Gotsu” and “Blood Ties” - and a sense of perdition, evinced in reflective acts like “Incubus” and the outro “Korekore-Matakawa”. There’s also room for the distressing atmosphere of “In My Poison”, a contemporary example of obscure Industrial’s heaviest face. The remixers Shrouds, Impure Secretion, Scarpa participate with three reinterpretations of great impact. credits released May 27, 2020 Recorded and Produced by Erminio Granata & Carmine Laurenza Vocals by Carmine Laurenza Mastered by Hyperlacrimae at Red Dungeon (Naples) Artworks and Photos by Nullam Rem Natam (Athens) Design and Layout by Erminio Granata
