ImJudas, the electro/darkwave solo project of Italian artist Maxx Maryan, founding member and male half of cult electro-metal duo Helalyn Flowers, will release the debut album entitled Yrjudas on the 1st of April via Alfa Matrix. Started as a noir dyed electro-pop project back in 2016, ImJudas has gradually dressed up and re-appropriated a rough guitar component, thus expressing a binary characteristic of his musical roots: the decadence and melancholy of the electronic darkwave and the abrasiveness of the most primordial rock against the backdrop of a promiscuous dance floor.
ImJudas excels in playing with contrasts and enjoys betraying the catchiness of his synthetic lines by interrupting them with sharp incisive guitar riffs or plaintive loud vocals, while other catchy and highly addictive choruses set his more disturbing and almost chaotic songs in an almost angelic wafting cocoon. ImJudas personifies that necessary evil we all wear on our left shoulder and who brings us into that so comfortable moonlight shadow. With this stunning album, ImJudas serves us absolute punk wave for abandoned souls in amusement parks where the loud and noisy stereo could play cult 80s songs from Killing Joke, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, The Clash or yet Propaganda to set the tone.
Deeply rooted in the imagery and aesthetics of the new wave movement, in the transformation of David Bowie and in the gender-bender attitude of Pete Burns and Boy George, in the grotesque-sensual limitation of Marilyn Manson, ImJudas declares itself “Man, Woman and Animal at the same time!”. Conceptually based on an inner sense of alienation, appealing surrealistic and esoteric themes, this Yrjudas album shines by its shimmering inner darkness and plunges you into tearful melancholy with its entertaining light melodies.
