The band is not newcomers, but they are bringer of new impulses. Challenging the spiritual possibilities of seeing beyond the void and into the nothingness of nothing. Opening your ears and hearts to the underworld of nihilism and despair. Taking their name from the Mesopotamian monster figure Anzû. Described as a divine storm bird who could breathe fire and water or in some descriptions as a lion-headed eagle. Either also as the personification of the southern wind and the thunder clouds.

Their music speaks for itself, however. Fabolous musicianship on every instrument and a great live band, they have managed to create their own sound and image of another world in their own special way.

This new opus plunges into the abyss, where ancient rites and mythic forces collide. From the crumbling remains of mortality to the furious storm of Sumerian fiends, KUR pulses with raw emotion, evoking despair, awe, and a confrontation with the unknown. Amidst these powerful themes, the eternal dance between life and death, pride and submission, unfolds.

Prepare to be cast into the depths of KUR, where you’ll be beckoned to confront the void—and in doing so, transcend it.

Moving the first steps into the Daughters of Sophia realm is apparently peaceful descent into a dimension of meditative solitude, where few calm blinking soon get into dying, melancholic lights.

Song after song, step after step the listener comes more into empathy with the sad story of dissolution of dreams, expectations, hope that covers perfectly represent the transformation of the will into a phantom.

Like a lost soul in a beautiful and cruel world, like the 9 protagonists of each and every song, you can join this dark trip to a vision where tragedy, sadness and melancholia owns the field.

Conceptually this album fits to the most intimate side of Japanese culture, musically references can be made to instrumental Atmospheric Post-Black Metal/Shoegaze/Ambient & soundscape stuff.

A Sad Sadness Song starts back steps from where his history roots, a journey made of bands like Lantlos, An Autumn for Crippled Children, Svarti Loghin, Falaise & Lascar…

"Màrtirs" is a profound, heartfelt homage to the peoples oppressed by war, Western exploitation, and the universal human barbarism.
