These tracks had been originally conceived during the late Spring 2022 by Devis Granziera and Davide Tozzoli, and later, in Summer 2022, reforged by Teatro Satanico at the Bottega Sonora recording-studio.
The titles of the tracks originate from the lost writing of Heraclitus ( in archaic Greek Ἡράκλειτος, “Herakleitos” ), an ancient philosopher who was considered a misanthrope who lived between 6th and 5th centuries BC. Heraclitus is said to have written a only one work on papyrus which got lost, however fragments of his single writing somehow survived. The philosophers who lived after his time named him “The Obscure” (ὁ Σκοτεινός; ho Skoteinós) for his cryptic statements.
Devis Granziera precisely choose these obscure words as accompaniment to these post-death-industrial musick compositions.
Herakleitos is a sort of art reflection about life and, more, death.
It mixes tones of acoustic and electroacoustic instruments, throbbing synthetic noises, harsh electronic beats, shamanic drumming, echoes of gongs and arcane utterances.
It is an attempt to deal with this chaotic world we live and looking for an hidden final meaning, and a desired last end.
