Our Time Here Is Precious

experimental

new me

The Helsinki-based multidisciplinary artist Exmantera (Daniil Mantere, they/them) https://soundcloud.com/exmantera is one of the prominent names in the Finnish underground digital electronic scene, and they’re known for their abrasive, knife-sharp outings where crispy sound design meets clangy dramatic tension. After hosting a remix on last year’s “Ross 308 EP” by the also Finnish artist Comastasis https://paynomindtous.bandcamp.com/track/ross-308-exmantera-remix, we’re thrilled to share with you their latest work “LETHALITY” EP. As of today, you can pre-order the EP for 1€ or more on our Bandcamp, and stream the first excerpt called “DISTILL”.

“LETHALITY” is composed of seven tracks and comes with an eerie, obscure artwork by Exmantera and uzâ a’amo https://instagram.com/uzaaamo/. As evoked by its title, the record is unforgiving in its sonic violence, aggressive distortion, and clangorous instinctiveness. Episodes inspired by the finest instrumental grime are followed by ear-splitting bursts, metallic percussions, glitching artifacts, and sinister melodies. These raw ingredients are molded into eventful tracks that immediately capture the listener despite the unrestrained rhythmic violence, guiding them down a treacherous path of digital corrosivity. In other words, Exmantera encapsulates spectacular ferocity and immaculate bloodlust in each of the compositions, molding the elements in the ultimate sound transposition of the impulse to maw, gnaw, and kill.

"Following a return to form with their release “soft memory” in Nov of 2023, Bodiah brings an offering, a sacrament of two new tracks. Sculpted as psalms to the neural pathways we carve within ourselves while attempting to navigate the larger world, songs for sodium channels etched by the brush fire of the soul.

Further dissecting and pushing the sounds found on their past release, “Feudal” comes at the listener with a barrage of pummeling kicks and heavy bass, punctuated by rhythms of fragmented hand percussion, warped beyond recognition, and robotic sound design creating a world onto itself.  Plucked melodies pierce raw surface tension with emotive intent, while washes of carefully arranged noise whiplash the listener.  

As springs raw hope pierces the veil into reality once again, so too might we be renewed from the perpetual self into the eternal. "

Boëthius - Fortune, Death And Other Issues

Heliacal Rising is a celestial phenomenon where a star, planet, or constellation first becomes visible above the eastern horizon at dawn, just before being obscured by the rising sun's light. 

It symbolizes a renewal, the rebirth of light, and the timeless dance between darkness and dawn.

'Heliacal Rising' is a collaborative work, co-created by Quit Life, Azrel, and amazing vocalists : Trophie, Olalla.lux and W.ANNA.W. They have helped shape the identity of the EP. Their voices add layers of meaning and emotion, turning each track into a living, breathing entity. Through serendipitous connections on Instagram and Soundcloud : Heliacal Rising was born.

Music is a vital escape from the routines of daily life, a source of energy and solace. We hope Heliacal Rising offers the same refuge and inspiration to our listeners, allowing them to find their own moments of peace and rejuvenation.
