The boundary-pushing entity known as Demonologists returns to the forefront of experimental music with their most ambitious and harrowing work to date: "Rakshasa." Fusing elements of dark ambient, industrial noise, and ritualistic soundscapes, the album offers a descent into shadowy realms, inspired by the mythic predators of Eastern legend.
"Rakshasa" is more than an album; it is an invocation. Each track is meticulously crafted to evoke the fierce power, otherworldly darkness, and hypnotic terror symbolized by the demons of Indian mythology. Demonologists channel their signature abrasive sonics, immersive atmospheres, and relentless intensity to create an experience that is as unsettling as it is transformative.
From the crushing opener "Manifestation" to the mesmerizing dissonance of "Claws of the Night," "Rakshasa" draws the listener into a labyrinth of dread and transcendence. Collaborations with notable figures from the underground noise and experimental scenes further elevate the album’s visceral energy. “We wanted to capture that primal fear you feel in a nightmare where something impossible and ancient is chasing you,” says Demonologists’ founder. “‘Rakshasa’ is a soundtrack to the monsters lurking in your subconscious.”
