Within
the vast territory of sounds that stretches between post rock and metal, LABIRINTO
are one of South America 's most well-known bands...
and one of the very few outfits whose name and reputation has reached European
and North American shores.
“Gehenna” is the band's heaviest
and darkest release to date: a richly textured sound on an apocalyptic vision, driven
by heavy guitars and synths, conceptualized and scored by guitar player Eric
Cruxen, who along with his wife and founding member Muriel Curi forms the
backbone of LABIRINTO.
“Gehenna” is already the band's 9th
release, but only the sophomore album – their back catalogue is made up of a
number of EPs and split EPs, a detail which showcases the band's strong foundation
in the DIY scene. Throughout the 11 years of their existence, Cruxen and Curi
have learned how to productively and successfully take control of every aspect
of a band's universe themselves, without getting lost in it: from running their
own professional recording studio, the internationally renowned Dissenso Studios
in São Paulo, to running their own record label, to booking their own tours and
collaborating with likeminded artists, record labels and producers across the
globe.
For
“Gehenna”, they invited producer
legend Billy Anderson, known for his works with MELVINS, NEUROSIS, FANTOMAS to Brazil Brazil
“Gehenna” is set for release via
the renowned Pelagic Records on 10/02/2017 and today you can stream the album
in full. You can order a copy of the 2xLP,
CD, digital here
