Dalila Kayros - Khthonie (Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

In Khthonie's land, boundaries dissolve; the voice rises like an ancestral cry from the future, transforming into a message for the present. In Khthonie, the earth becomes a symbol of unity and the synthesis of diversity.

Khthonie is the song of a metamorphosis that subverts rigidity to embrace the multi-headed dragon, whose voice speaks with a multitude of timbres. Following its vital motion, the voice becomes a scream, a whisper, a babble, and speech, with words acting as a vehicle for thought saturated with emotion. Khthonie is the soundtrack of a post-apocalyptic world driven by a profound desire for hope and reconstruction. For this reason, the sound merges contrasts: clean and distorted tones, obsessive rhythms, and expansive, atmospheric spaces. In Khthonie, the timeline branches out, generating new directions. Khthonie captures the sound of the earth's dual forces--creation and destruction--of life emerging from the underground. The album was born from the collaboration between the duo Dalila Kayros and Danilo Casti, from Sardinia island, who chose to embrace an high-risk compositional process: the stage becomes a laboratory of creation, interaction, and instant communication, while the music evolves as a living entity invoked during the act of performance.

'Khthonie' is a scream for a free earth, a cry from the underground for these apocalyptic times.

"When you sing, you are gifting your breath to another person, to the collective or to the wind. You are expressing your emotions in the present. It could be happy, but it could be very bad too"
