Active since 2009, Shibalba bring their first full ritual expression to the
halls of Malignant. Samsara summons five chthonic explorations using all the
hallmark instrumentation of the genre to great effect; liturgical chants and
spectral vocal incantations, minor keyboard orchestrations, resonant chimes and
prayer bowls, ceremonial percussion, and atmospheric drift ensconced in
sepulchral reverb. ItÆs a tapestry of richly detailed and layered sounds that
emanate from candlelit chambers and underground passages, and an intoxicating
and majestic homage to the darkest of arts. Previous work must be noted and
recognized, but it is with Samsara that ShibalbaÆs vision is fully realized.
And while the shadow of Endvra, Funerary Call, and Halo Manash loom in the
background, Shibalba have forged a new path and solidified themselves among the
leaders of the new realm. We have entered the Halls of Inner Sadhana to
re-unite Pilgrimage and Austerity, to gaze once more behind the Eyes of
Samadhi, and to reach new starfields of alienation.
