Sudaria - Live at the Temple of Flesh
This is the second time we are gonna review a release from Sudaria, one of the prime examples of modern esoteric ritual music. This one came out on cassette via Spanish Marbre, and this time we are gonna experience a live treat from this cult act! Only 2 tracks which in total is over 50 minutes, of pure ceremoniously live-action!.
The very first track mixes pure tantric sexual-energies with mind-bending intoxication on top of it, the track is simply called Tantric Intoxication. Very intimate recording, you basically hear everything which is going on. The humming automatic hypnotizing machine-drones, ritualistic bells, buttons being pushed, strange clicks, tribalistic drummings, esoteric and mysterious chantings... Incredible sounds bloody incredible! Fans of Hybryds, Zoviet France, early C93 and MZ412... take notice! It´s pretty dark (almost satanic cult-like) material here, but the delight of laying your ears to this is worth your time! Absolutely nothing wrong when you have a very good track which is almost 30 minutes long! I am in no doubt that whoever is behind this mysterious project, takes this very seriously and has a clear idea of where to take it as well. Pure ritual cleansing in sound! Kind of like... A ritualistic version of early power-electronics at the end of the track, interesting!
Next track called Self-induced Transfiguration. After going through tantric sex and toxic, you might wanna... transfigure yourself. After going through the first track, you (just might) wanne do that! Kind of starts where the brutal intensity ended with the first track, definitely sounding more... intoxicated!. Screaming ambient-noise, flesh scraping distortions, the razor-sharp intensity binds you to continue the listening. More of an atmospheric harsh-noise treat, then the former esoteric-ambient one. Kind of like those bags with nuts, all sweet and salty ;) ... A cool track, again a cool recording with a decent intimacy attached to it. Would love 2 have experienced this concert!.
Go out and buy the bloody cassette, this baby is a pure masterpiece. Limited to only 25 copies from Spanish Marbre Negre, go get it now!. Worth in (almost) anyone´s obscure tape collection.
