HAUNTED PLASMA - I - LP - Turquoise & Black Marble Vinyl [JUL 26]

LP - Turquoise & Black Marble Vinyl

Haunted Plasma, a powerhouse of futuristic synth intertwined with the super-violent atmospherics of kosmische black metal, is set to release their debut album I in May 2024. This phenomenal three-piece band includes members of Oranssi Pazuzu, K-X-P, Grave Pleasures, and Aavikko. Svart Records is proud to present I, an album that embodies the "man meets machine" ethos in a cybernetic wasteland, conceptually inspired by the mind-bending works of William Gibson and Philip K. Dick.

The band describes their sound as a fusion of influences from Terry Riley, Massive Attack, Krautrock hypnosis, psychedelic black metal, and '90s techno, resulting in a mutant sound that defies genre boundaries. The core members of Haunted Plasma are Juho Vanhanen (Oranssi Pazuzu, Grave Pleasures), Timo Kaukolampi (K-X-P, Op Bastards), and Tomi Leppänen (Circle, Aavikko, K-X-P). Their combined experience and innovation drive the project, transmitting an evolved music form that reflects their history of sonic experimentation.

I also features guest vocals from Mat McNerney (Hexvessel, Carpenter Brut, Grave Pleasures/Beastmilk), Pauliina Lindell (Vuono, Dust Mountain), and Ringa Manner (Ruusut, The Hearing). Haunted Plasma promises an extraterrestrial experience, crafted by some of the leading contemporary musicians from the Finnish heavy and avant-garde musical underworld.
