cannibal movie


After the reissue of 'Avorio' in lp by Sounds of Cobra, Donato Epiro & Gaspare Sammartano come back noting less to the small armenian label, yerevan tapes. Two long underground jams are the best recording of the duo and own Donato. The first side takes you in a hypnotic journey to the afterlife, I like to think (even if only organ and percussion) in early Amon Düül, the darkest ambient of German Oak and surrounded by accumulated strain that doesn't end to explode, as the great recording of japanese Jacks. The other side begins more meditative and at times ethereal, until the percussion of Gaspare opens the path to a ceremony of a secret brotherhood with dissonant textures and hypnotic pulse.

Tras la reedición de 'Avorio' en lp por Sounds of Cobra, Donato Epiro & Gaspare Sammartano regresan al cassette, nada menos que al pequeño sello armenio para ser la tercera referencia tras The Dreams y Gianni Giublena Rosacroce. Dos largos jams subterráneos que me parecen la mejor grabación del dúo y de Donato. La primera cara se sumerge en un viaje hipnótico al más allá, me gusta pensar (aunque sólo haya órgano y percusión) en los primeros Amon Düül, el oscurísimo ambient carvernoso de German Oak y en la tensión que durante más de 13 min se va acumulando y no termina de estallar, como el genial disco de los japoneses Jacks. La otra cara comienza más meditativa y por momentos etérea, hasta que la percusión de Gaspare abre el sendero hacia la ceremonia de una hermadad secreta con texturas y paisajes disonantes y pulso hipnótico.

cannibal movie

"Cannibal Movie is a sub genre of exploitation films made mostly by Italian filmmakers through the 1970s and 1980s. This sub genre is a collection of graphically gory movies that usually depict cannibalism by primitive, Stone-age natives deep inside the Asian or South American rain forests.
Cannibal Movie is also a duo from south of Italy, exponents of new rising Italian avant-garde music scene.
They play drums and a old italian organ and their sound is a mix of obscure psychedelia, hypnotic tribalism and ecstatic magic tunes." sound of cobra

"Incredibly promising debut release from Italian organ and drums duo, Cannibal Movie, whose membership includes super-continental soundmaker, and Sturmundrugs honch, Donato Epiro and Gaspare Microwave With Marge / Lemming Records. This also marks a fine start for the brand new, Berlin-based Sound of Cobra label.
Cannibal Movie deal in heavy hypno-psych pound, with plenty of ability to conjure suspense and swing no less. It’s as if Religious Knives went batshit crazy, ate their guitarist, and continued on as a band..." foxy digitalis

black eagle child / donato epiro

"Debut on vinyl for both artists. Oh so very exciting! Blackest Rainbow did a bang up job again with great photography and a nice dark package. Absolutely worthwhile! You can’t get enough BEC these days, especially since these sounds seem so appropriate for these shorter, lonelier days. And Epiro is a must-hear, because you haven’t heard him like this before!" foxy digitalis

donato epiro

"‘Supercontinent’ is Donato Epiro’s freshest hypnotic adventure, and a glimpse into some future tropical world where lysergic acid rain waters the neon foliage. Animatronic apes and mechanical birds flock around Donato as he expertly fashions his sonic hieroglyphs, while sibilant rhythms and humid chants pour freely into the deviant ceremony from all sides. Join the intoxicating celebration, and play this tape whenever you need a little break from the continent you’re currently standing upon. Limited edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c30 tapes w/ double-sided jcard and insert." stunned records

donato epiro

"Over the course of ‘Sounding the Sun’, Italian psych magician Donato Epiro aims his wand in all directions of the acoustical field, doing his best chameleon’s dance with drums, flute, chanting, and strings. An impressive dynamism is in play when Donato takes his bonfire percussion & fluttering raga loops, then swiftly braids them down to stilled passages of minimalist vibration. It’s a blissful abduction of the ear’s attention/perception, harnessed to a pervasive feeling of time running backwards as the album spins forward. A beautiful and unpredictable escape to some far off sunny fields of a magical land long, long ago. Limited edition of 100 hand stamped cdrs with double-sided insert card & color cover in vinyl jacket." stunned records
