Known as Hyakki Yagyō, or the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, one version of the tale states that anyone who witnesses this otherworldly procession will die instantlyor be carried off by the creatures of the night. As a result, the villagers hide in their homes, lest they become victims of these supernatural Invaders.Such is the inspiration for the latest album from Earthless. My son is really into mythical creatures and old folk stories about monsters and ghosts, bassist Mike Eginton explains. We came across the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in a book of traditional Japanese ghost stories. I like the idea of people hiding and being able to hear the madness but not see it. Its the fear of the unknown.Whereas 2018s Black Heaven featured shorter songs and vocals from guitarist Isaiah Mitchell on much of the albuman unprecedented move for the San Diego power triotheir latest is a return to the epic instrumentals Earthless made their unmistakable name on. Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons is comprised of two monster songsthe 41-minute, two-part title track and the 20-minute Death To The Red Sun.Originally, we were trying to figure out how to condense the title track so it would fit onto one side of an LP, drummer Mario Rubalcaba explains. But the more we kept playing, the more we kept finding different places to go with it. We eventually just decided to let it breathe and go long.SACRI MONTIFormed in San Diego in 2012, Sacri Monti has transcended genres and sonic expectations to create a sound so unique, their name has become synonymous with invention. Signed to Tee Pee Records, this July will see the official release of their third studio album, Retrieval. New single and album opener Maelstrom hits like a whirling 70s prog rock opus, recalling the chugging riff/organ fuelled majesty of Machine Head-era Deep Purple, alongside the Space Ritual vibes of Hawkwind. Theres no question that Sacri Monti has upped their game on this one and we highly advise you to do the same.
