Matt, the author and band guitar player, declares:
“On November the 2nd I was traveling to Rome and started to work on live visuals projections for Sunpocrisy’s shows, twisting around the idea behind the artwork of Eyegasm, Hallelujah! and its video teaser. Fractals designs have always fascinated me and i was quite happy with the result I obtained with the album cover, but i wanted to push boundaries a little higher and integrate fractal animation I made with a more kaleidoscopic effect. The result was mesmerizing and I decided to explore every possibilities: post-production brought me to more than an hour of different reflections footages. I cut this main composition into sections and assigns songs on archetypes i see on different part of the motion picture and how those can be related to lyrics, sometimes with affinity. With this multimedia artifact I hope our listeners can feel overwhelmed by music and videos and reach at least the Eyegasm.“
"Eyegasm, Hallelujah!" is out now on CD and digital.
The album, an overwhelming, stellar and progressive post-mental eargasm, will be available also in vinyl gatefold 2XLP together with Wooaaargh Records, Dullest Records, Shove Records and Drown Within Records.
The band created a multi-layered dichotomy between superb melodic sections & roaring wall of sound. "Eyegasm, Hallelujah!", recorded in Ravenna, Italy by Riccardo Pasini (The Secret, Nero di Marte, Ephel Duath) and mastered in Chicago by Collin Jordan (Eyehategod, Voivod, Pelican, Yob, Wovenhand, Minsk) is a concept album.
“In this new record, considered as a sequel of Samaroid Dioramas, the concept is developed from the detaching from the earth surface, to the white unknown, in 9 chapters. Where S|D stops, E|H starts, with a bright path, from the slow rebirth to the final strength effort, and then the rest. An awakening, an escape, from the physical known condition to an abstract addiction of life to life itself, through the grown awareness of what a body needs. The main figure is the Peacock, symbol of renaissance and pureness, strength, courage and resistance. Its bravery is constantly fighting with a real, human shaped of course, consciousness about the pain, exploding in a desperate search to find its perfect half, until it's found. Two parts of the same thing, melting together, originating the great white, the eyegasm.
Hallelujah!”.
