Band: ONIOROSHI
Who: Noizz trio from Italy.
Album: SHRINE
The follow-up to their 2019 debut album Beyond These Mountains
Shrine is the result of meticulous research into sound and structure, with the three musicians seeking to go beyond the threshold and create new sensations for the listener. Lasting 54 minutes and featuring only 3tracks, the album retains the same influences that characterize Onioroshi‘s sound, but takes the experience to a whole new level of complexity and depth.

TUTV: My dictionary tells me that a shrine is a place regarded as holy because of
its associations with a divinity or a sacred person or relic, marked by a building or
other construction.
I’m not sure if these three Italian noise-experimenting crusaders want to take us to such
a kind of place, but it sure feels that way. I think, to a degree of certainty, is that they have all Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor records on their shelves.
They produce a similar kind of prog rock textures, guitar-excessive jams and otherworldly
sonic escapades. Put on your headphones, dim the lights, relax and let Shrine trigger
your darkest phantasies.
