Lili Refrain’s newest LP MANA lives up to its title. A combination of Anna Von Hausswolff and
Burning World-era Swans, following the words of Walter Hoeijmakers, the founder of
Roadburn Festival.
Each track is multifaceted and they all have a heft to them, a weight that translates well to Refrain’s multi-instrumentalist abilities.
Commenting on the nature of recording process Lili states: “Mana is an album totally different from anything I've ever done before. I felt the need to experiment with the use of new instruments and take a totally new path. Compared to my previous album MANA is the most ritual in some ways”.
Refrain comments onthe origin of the title saying: “It means ‘life force’, power that comes from within and is dedicated to those who have found themselves consciously facing a journey, without knowing where it would have arrived or even if it would have survived.”
Using very few guitars, Lili Refrain has not only distanced herself from her comfort zone but also created a danceable feel focusing on arrangements and vocal techniques.
However, the work on background sounds was very deliberate , as Lili notices: “Stefano Morabito, the engineer and the owner of "16th Cellar Studio" in Rome welcomed me in
his studio and had been following me throughout the production.”
“Spontaneous” is probably the best description of creating the record that became MANA.
“I felt the need to experiment.” – says Lili about the current evolutions and changes in her “inner gaze”.
Starting with Ichor , Sangoma and Mami Wata, Lili Refrain has been going down the path of rediscovering herself as an artist and performer. Combining both heavy synths sounds and operatic heights.
Pairing Taiko drum sounds of Mami Wata with her trilling and whispering, Lili Refrain manages to create a chanting and ritualistic experience. 

SIGILLUM S have been exploring unknown territories among extreme electronics, fringe acoustics and occultist noise since 1985.
With an original line-up of Italian experimental electronic composers Eraldo Bernocchi, Paolo L. Bandera and Luca Di Giorgio,
throughout their 40-year gestation, the noise merchants have worked with musicians including Ain Soph, The Sodality, Gerstein,
Iugula-Thor, Out Of Body Experience, Bill Laswell, Zu, Crisis, Thomas Felhmann, Gudrun Gut, Toshinori Kondo, SH Fernando and
the Wordsoundcrew, Dive , Colin Edwin, sculptor Milo Sacchi, multimedia artist Petulia Mattioli and many others.
Having toured extensively throughout Europe and Canada in the early part of their career, the result has been an endless series of
evolution, from the droning ritualism and ethnic explorations of the late ‘80s through to the surreal science fiction soundtracks of the
‘90s, to the super deep complexity of the new millennium. SIGILLUM S have been constantly evolving. The current formation
consists of original members Eraldo Bernocchi and Paolo L. Bandera with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Bruno Dorella and
visual artist Petulia Mattioli.
On new album ‘Aborted Towns, The Deadly Silence Before Utopia’ SIGILLUM S continue to develop their own brand of post-
industrial audio investigations, employing sound as a tool for mapping the subconscious and a reconfiguration of cognitive
processes.
“With ‘Aborted Towns’ we tried once again to expand our sonic vision, pushing further into the realms of immersive, cinematic
sound design. I see dystopian cityscapes where decay and transformation collide in waves of shadowy textures, fractured rhythms,
and spectral atmospheres. Each track feels like a fragment of an abandoned future, a lost reel of sound documenting a world
teetering on the edge of oblivion,” says Bernocchi.
Tracks such as ‘Lemur Agony’ and ‘Forgotten Utopias’ exist in an ever-changing continuum of harsh, irregular beats with sudden
shifts in experimental atmospheres, while ‘Permafrost’ and ‘Infective Carnations’ are unsettling, decadent electronic mutations.
‘Aborted Towns’ is more than just music – it is an architecture of sound, a ghostly residue of memories and echoes. The shifting
balance between claustrophobic tension and vast, desolate space invites the listener into a hypnotic, unsettling journey. It lingers,
seeps into the subconscious, and refuses to be forgotten.

Litania is a doom/hindustan psych band from Italy and Serbia. The sound is based on drones, heavy riffing and inspired by ancient hindustan singing and playing (with instruments such as Sitar, Dilruba and Harmonium).
Litania is also the title of our first album.

With their sixth full-length "Dread Emperor", SLAUGHTERDAY deliver everything that they excel in, which is also precisely what their fans want from the duo: perfectly executed old school death metal with a wicked twist. From crushing doom-ridden ultra-heavy parts to calculated outbreaks of utter brutality, this record offers everything a still beating death metal heart could ask for. And of course, those cosmic horrors of the Great Old Ones, forbidden sounds, and tentacled death metal are still rising. The German band has also added more deeper meaning to their tales of cosmic terrors as a healthy antidote to stereotypes. Lyrically, SLAUGHTERDAY have always built on the well-established foundations of their genre by taking inspiration from American author H. P. Lovecraft and other masters of horror. And while sinister things crawl and creep through the duo's timeless brutality, they have always portrayed them with a sinister flair of their own. These days, the band has repurposed those monstrous creatures as metaphorical ciphers for relevant contemporary topics.

On their tenth full-length "Aba Khan", NYTT LAND pick up the stylistic thread that they had previously woven with "Ritual" (2021). This means, the music is generally based on a foundation of current ritual dark folk to which the duo from Siberia adds elements from the native traditions of their home among other ingredients. Although NYTT LAND return to the less strict and rather popular formula with "Aba Khan", their inspiration has still come from a whole year of travelling through the vast territories of Siberia. The couple discovered new areas and got acquainted with spiritual traditions of the indigenous peoples that they met. The result of this journey is a collection of priceless treasures that has been respectfully translated into a contemporary musical language. NYTT LAND was created in August 2013 as a ritualistic Nordic folk band and driven by the musical vision of the husband and wife duo Natalya and Anatoly Pakhalenko. The couple lives in the Western Siberian town Kalachinsk that is located on the banks of River Om and crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway. True to their often dark and mysterious subjects, the lyrics of NYTT LAND echo myth and stories from legends and historical sources. Those are told in the languages of both indigenous Siberian tribes and Old Norse, with the balance gradually shifting towards the former over time. NYTT LAND dedicate "Aba Khan" to the ancient, beautiful, and great lands of Siberia. Join them on a journey through time and space where spirits rule, shamans protect the people, and old gods whisper.
