Veneno

The aphorism "Unity is strength" is not always such an unquestionable and conclusive expression as in the case of Delusions. The extraordinary affinity between the two members of this Catalan band intensifies their creativity and defines them with their own solid style, and with perfectly structured concepts distributed between the different tasks of composition, staging, promotion and recording responsibility, as the task of Archi Ferrero and Jaume Avellana at the head of Delusions extends from production to the production and management of material for Ballistic, the platform they founded in 2011. 

Ballistic has an interesting cast of names in its catalogue and with releases that have not been worn down by the passing of the years, nevertheless, a great sonic evolution can be appreciated, headed mainly by its top leaders. This does not mean that they have abandoned their principles, the primary style they adopted, but rather that they have been able to adapt their sound to an environment more in line with the current technological development.

Ballistic 8.5, the new EP by Delusions, shows first and foremost the potential of this pair of producers to combine the binary rhythm of techno with an overwhelming, deep, very powerful background and a sound environment typical of industrial textures. Each of the three tracks can be defined in the same way, however, they are completely different, not only for their timbre, but also for the personality and characteristics they apply to each composition.

Release date: March 30th, 2022.

Not only a musical reinterpretation, but a “cinematic audiobook” of the 1996 cult film ‘Al Nom Fil Assal’: ‘Risala Min Shahed Ayan’ is a sample-based album by Osman Arabi as Ain Horus.

Osman Arabi launches his newest project Ain Horus (Arabic: عین حورس, The Eye of Horus) with the 18-track album ‘Risala Min Shahed Ayan’ (Arabic: رسالة من شاھد عیان, “A Letter From An Eyewitness”) on Lebanese experimental label Modular Mind.

The entire album consists of samples and sounds from the 1996 Egyptian cult film ‘Al Nom Fil Assal’ (Arabic: النوم فى العسل, English: “A Deep Sleep” or “Sweet Oblivion”). The satire features legendary comedian Adel Emam, directed by the great Sharif Arafa and scored by Omar Khayrat, the film tackles topics like sexual impotence, corruption, ignorance and frustration in Egyptian society which led it to become one of a kind audio-visual experience in the Arab world.

Osman Arabi describes the format of his album as an “18-track cinematic audiobook”. The artist draws all the sonic elements from the film that he processes, arranges and unfolds like scenes from a childhood memory. Creating a so-called cinematic audiobook is Arabi’s approach to the remains of a forgotten pan-Arabic cultural phenomenon that he intends to modernize in his own musical language. Within the composition, he transforms each track into a scene. His musical reinterpretation is an homage to the very essence of the film that revolves around the question: What does the spirit of a world that has gone mad look like?

Ain Horus’ debut on Modular Mind will be released on April 2nd, 2023. The 18-track album will be released on all digital platforms and as a limited edition cassette tape.

Osman Arabi is a guitarist, composer, producer and sound designer from El-Mina, Tripoli, Lebanon, who lives and works in Berlin. A unique figure in the international noise and industrial music scene, Arabi is especially known for pioneering noise and black metal waves in Lebanon in the early 2000’s.

His work elicits images of desolate industrial landscapes and shamanistic rites. From his beginnings in black metal, Arabi has progressed through different genres, such as dark ambient, industrial, tribal, psychedelic, electro-acoustic, power electronics and noise. His many projects have included Seeker, Kafan, Veinen, Shamanic Death Trance, The Ritual Inclusion Of Code, 20.SV, as well as nihilist Dutch collective Stalaggh. In 2000, Arabi stopped performing live -- vanishing into the underground, not resurfacing until 2009. For the past decade, Arabi has been developing -- in complete secrecy -- his "occult guitar" playing, based on the sigil work of Austin Osman Spare.

The Eleusinian Mysteries were spiritual/psychedelic initations that used to take place twice every year at the panhellenic Sanctuary of Elefsina in ancient Greece to honor the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone. The Mysteries represented the myth of the abduction of Persephone from her mother Demeter by the king of the underworld Hades. 

This particular project is the aural representation of the artist's perception of the rites and often consists of raw distorted drums accompanied by shadowy atmospheres, eerie drones and heavy basslines with a hint of psychedelia.
