Sa Bruxa - Gnosis (Digipak CD)

With his second full length Gnosis, the sardinian (but Berlin based) project SA BRUXA explores the topic of spiritual evolution - from the degradation of the matter and flesh to a higher and subtle spiritual sublimation. The title comes from the main focus of knowing what is on the opposite side of the matter - which is basically the knowledge of death, achieved through contemplation and spiritual topics, mainly dealing with the easter tradition. Alternating dark ambient soundscapes, gloomy melodies, field recording and sample manipulation, together with more abrasive death industrial moments, Gnosis weaves an esoteric trip through the mortal pain to achieve spiritual evolution, articulated in nine tracks which develop themselves through the over 65 minutes length of the album. The result is a trip where the borders of outer and inner dimensions fade away, mystic places soaked in magic merges with inner meditative trip through suffering and contemplation, to eventually achieve the liberation through dissolution and the eternal return.
