\nA DOUBLE FEATURE WITH: \;
\nPO ISON RUIN
\nBuilding off the strengths of their critically acclaimed works\, POISON RUIN return with their new album\, Hymns From the Hills. The Philadelphia Punk band have developed their signature approach to grim mythmaking and scythe-swinging aggression in bold new directions \, offering up a new body of songs that strike one as equal parts natural \, undeniably of this world\, and phantasmal.
\nThe band's vision ha s grown substantially\, pushing well past the tales of peasants and serfs that stood as allegories for contemporary alienation in their previous wor k. On this newest offering\, their previous stories of toil and dispossess ion are revealed to be but one chapter etched upon a bleaker tapestry- One populated by spirits traversing sunless deserts and wilted hillsides\, de monic torture objects limning the edges of the psyche\, bodies transfigure d into Luciferian snakes\, Sadean prisoners bound to the screaming silence of abandoned castle towers. The record is at once a forceful restatement of POISON RUIN's trademark sound and a departure from it- The crackling\, cassette-dubbed darkness and crushing rhythms listeners have become accust omed to are buttressed by a carefully sculpted mosaic of new textures\, fr om flourishes of Killing Joke hacksaw primitivism and blast-beats worthy o f the Relapse catalogue number to crisp analog synth lines and ambient ser enades reminiscent of Scott Walker and The Durutti Column. Like a serpent moving ever outward with spiraling circularity\, Hymns From the Hills expa nds POISON RUIN's sonic landscape in imaginative new directions while main taining its center of gravity firmly in the band’s already established m ythos.

\nLiturgy (Solo Performance)
\nWe are excited to announce an swiss exclusive Liturgy Solo Perfor mance by Healla Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix\, the mind behind the renowned projec t: Liturgy \;
\nLiturgy is the project of Haela Ravenna Hunt -Hendrix\, whose yearning\, energetic “transcendental black metal” exi sts in the space between metal\, art music and sacred ritual. Its current lineup includes Mario Miron (guitar)\, Tia Vincent-Clark (bass) and Leo Di dkovsky (drums). Celebrated for their fusion of sincere emotion\, composit ional complexity\, stylistic daring and intense live energy\, the band is simultaneously a medium and platform for drama and theology. It was founde d in the context of Brooklyn DIY as a solo project by Hunt-Hendrix in 2005 while she was studying philosophy and classical composition at Columbia.& nbsp\; In 2009 Hunt-Hendrix stimulated fervent conversation in the music w orld with her text “Transcendental Black Metal”\, and after expanding to a quartet they made waves globally with their 2011 sophomore album Aest hethica for fusing black metal with math rock and infusing the form with a counterintuitively loving\, emotional energy. Their ambitious 2015 album The Ark Work was controversial for its incorporation of IDM and trap produ ction into their musical language. In fall 2019 they solidified this sound world with their highly acclaimed fourth studio album H.A.Q.Q.\, which is tied to an ongoing philosophical YouTube lecture series. Their fifth stud io album\, an opera entitled Origin of the Alimonies\, was released in Nov ember 2020\, recorded with an eight-piece chamber ensemble and performed a t Roadburn festival in 2021 as the live score to an eponymous film created by Hunt-Hendrix. \; After a solo sculpture exhibition in 2022\, the a lbum 93696 was released in 2023 followed by an extensive world tour.< /p>\n\nBoletos: https://eventfrog.ch/de/p/konzerte/hard-rock-heavy-metal/p oison-ruin-liturgy-solo-7483657826927126662.html URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/74ae4cc5-42a4-445c-9f7c-fc2dd686001 9 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
