about

Devil's Breath have at heart indigenous people and they also find them inspirational for making music.

African Spiritual Paths is not the first release revolving around this theme, however this EP is the first to deal with the indigenous people of Africa.

Each track is named after a mask used during rituals relating to funerals and secret societies. Ivory Coast, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of the Congo are among the countries where such rituals are carried out. Kanaga, the first track, is very atmospheric and melancholic and its mood fits the expected environment in a funerary ritual. Kòmòkunw, the fourth and final track, is perhaps the most mystical track which goes hand in hand with the mysticism associated with ritual carried out by secret societies.

The listening experience of African Spiritual Paths may be considered Dark Drone Tribal Industrial Ambient being met with Techno influences in Kponyungo and Nwatantay with the rhythm in the EP reaching its fastest pace in the latter, whilst being more experimental in Kòmòkunw.

Extremity Of Human Suffering
by Devil’s Breath + Palazzo’s Monstrosity Coil

supported by 4 fans who also own “African Spiritual Paths”

Stumbled upon this after listening to a lot of Maha Pralaya's 'Nuclear Kurukshetra' and EOHS made sense instantly. The album is a calculated trainwreck of Middle Eastern rhythms, noise, drone, and the chaotic builds give way to moments of relief every so often. Really satisfying album to keep revisiting. I hope another collab between these two artists will take shape soon. Also brings to mind the works of Lefthanded Sign. Lost Tribe Sound
