Following their latest album, Panspermia (2020), Italian blackened ritual doom/sludge outfit Nibiru, which celebrates its tenth year of activity this year, has re-signed with Argonauta Records for the release of its seventh album, Anamorphosis, due on 26 May.
Vocalist Ardat says: "Anamorphosis is distressing emptiness in a dimension free of conventions, unintelligible, frightening. Silence, absolute solitude, beyond the abyss and beyond the inner self, under the night. This Nibiru's cathartic journey can be considered as 'Experimental Psychedelic Ritual'".
Nibiru continues to deliver a very special, truly unique and inspiring sound, developing its musical aesthetics through the recitation of the Enochian keys, and the insertion of intimate and disturbing verses. The band's sources of extra-musical influences are inspired by occultists and esotericists such as Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant and Austin Osman Spare, but also psychiatric essays, a deep inner illness and a peculiar cult for the actor Klaus Kinski.
The trio invites the listener to be part of a ritual: Nibiru's sound is a mental, noisy and apocalyptic journey of visionary magic, elemental prophecies and esoteric superomism. Tribal percussions, evocative mantras and hypnotic drones merge into a completely new interpretation of black and doom metal, while psychedelic tapestries draw a fascinating and idiosyncratic art. The shrill and inhuman voice of Ardat will drag you into a kingdom of mystical abandonment and possession. Nibiru is indeed a ritual; a heavily deep, disturbing, wild but atmospheric ride on every level - of your soul, spirit and body.
