about

"Born as a post-human evolution of his old dark ambient project Vacuum Templi (2014 – 2019), recovering its occult references and anti-catholic stances,“Iconocaust” is a 6-track noise enigma: a profane/ pagan reading of the ultra-catholic roots of The Marches region and the christian folklore of the South Italy in general, which it's the artist’s family roots (even if he was born in Turin, also historical land of anti-clericals from which was born its esoteric and occult background) but also with an underlying mysteric message, interpreting the concept of “the flesh of the body of Christ” as a metaphor of the organic and spiritual caducity of the human being, doomed to suffering to save itself.
Taking inspiration from his metal/ hardcore roots, he combine hardcore/ industrial/ dub rhythms, sharp guitars samples with existentialist/ nihilist punk lyrics, dehumanized synthetic screams and sulphureus atmospheres, in a sample-based metal/ horror-electronic processed mayhem.
Placenta is a synthetic compound reincarnated in a single post-human, being inspired by 80s dark/ industrial aesthetics, anarcho punk/ DIY ideologies,apocalyptic sounds and electronics."
