The mystical multinational ensemble Ianai, led by renowned musician Jaani Peuhu (Mercury Circle, Iconcrash, Swallow The Sun), released a brand new haunting single, "Khaalo". The song is taken from the upcoming debut album entitled Sunir. Ianai channels music given to them, sung in an ancient language. Ianai's music is imbued with flavours from indigenous musical cultures around the globe and clothed in darkly hued indie moods, bringing to mind a hybrid between Sigur Ros and Dead Can Dance.
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
World prehistory is abundant with flood myths, from Chinese and Norse mythology to the first book of Moses, in which God decides to wipe out his entire creation, save for what species could travel aboard Noah's ark. What was essentially destroyed by the Great Flood was the hybrid race of giants begotten by angels and humans - the Nephilim. The question remains, however, whether some of them actually survived.
"It is a song about confronting your own fears and limitations you've carried within since childhood. What things are suitable in our culture and what are we allowed to believe in? In this song we're breaking free from all that, with no fear of being condemned by our peers or society. Out of our dark hiding places with small, fearful steps first and then onwards and upwards as high as we can. There's no stopping us", comments the artist of today's single release "Khaalo".
Acting as a messenger between two worlds and Ianai is music carried from within through the ages. Now is the time to let the waking world hear it too. On the 10th of June, Sunir, the debut musical offering from Ianai will be released via Svart Records. Link
