Danilo Casti

Solemn, apocalyptic, dystopian electronic music featuring vocal tribalism places the work in a hypothetical balance between the real and the visionary. A realm of multi-octave voices, all immersed in atmospheric soundscapes and energetic distorted rhythms: an approach that redefines the boundaries of sound and the possibilities of voice and machines. Khthonie captures the sound of the earth’s dual forces – creation and destruction – of life emerging from the underground. Her latest offering, Khthonie, fights for fluidity through a boundless approach to writing and performance. It’s a record of intentional tonal and emotional clashes, as clear from her sardonic smile on the cover – beaming while staring into the abyss. Kayros embodies the dark and destructive qualities of Chthonian Gods with screamed vocals and sudden shifts in mood, while Danilo Casti’s generative electronic production adds an element of unruly chance to their performances. In doing so, they create a vision of a fluid earth, before lands were named and laws conquered.
