PainKiller, The Great God Pan

 

À paraître en avril : 

PainKiller, The Great God Pan.

The reunion of PainKiller, the world’s most extreme sax-bass-drums trio, was one of the great musical events of 2024. For the third installment of their new trilogy of albums, Zorn, Harris, and Laswell take a more moody direction, creating two long tracks combining heavy metal intensity with ambient textures and a brooding lyricism. Inspired in part by Arthur Machan’s gothic novella The Great God Pan, the music weaves a frightening tapestry of mystery, horror, and the imagination.

Chaos Magick: Through The Looking Glass

 À paraître en mars : 

Chaos Magick: Through The Looking Glass [#9320]
Medeski, Marsella, Hollenberg, and Grohowski are Chaos Magick—a powerful electric quartet formed to perform Zorn’s twisted and challenging compositions. Founded in 2021 as a spinoff of the heavy metal organ trio Simulacrum, they have released no less than five CDS in three years—Chaos Magick, The Ninth Circle, Multiplicities, 444, and Parrhesiastes. Their sixth, Through the Looking Glass, presents three extended works that unfold like a philosophical treatise. Sweet, funky, soulful, imaginative, quirky, and intensely stimulating, this is music that pushes formal musical ideas into fresh new directions. The phrase “Nothing is real—everything is permitted” has never had greater meaning.
