Superalma Project - Non Genesis - SD-086

This release has a specific narrative to tell, a counterpart to the biblical story of creation of all mankind, the genesis. In our modern world, where someone like Trump gets elected President, where the Alt-Right movement is gaining popularity, where innocent people have to suffer under religious terrorism, we need some kind of new beginning, a Anti-Genesis or Non-Genesis, cleansing the whole world. Fitting to this theme are also the titles of this two-part LP, 'The Self-Disembowelment of God' aswell as 'The Skies Above Declare the Death of God's Purpose for Mankind', having thematical and a bit musical similarities to TOOLs ∆nema.

So, how does this latest release by Igor Almeida, the mastermind behind Superalma Project, actually sound? The first part starts with calm, melancholic sounds, after a while dark noises in the background join in, some of them resembling distorted voices of angels. These gain more and more dominance in this soundscape, till a gritty bass and synthesizer transform this into some endtime is coming' hymn, which soon dissolves again into artifacts of noises, the aforementioned voices of angels and some strange organ from beyond. Then even more noise and unintelligible voices deconstruct this first part even further, with a gloomy beat telling the story of the complete annihilation of any benevolent deity.

In the second part the story continues, the benevolent divinity is dead, the time for cleansing is upon us. Sad sounds are preparing mankind for this Non-Genesis, supported by increasing dark beats and glitchy noises. A break in all of this makes place for some distorted sacral sounds, but not for long and the apocalyptical soundscape from before flushes it all away.

With the context of a 'Non-Genesis' in mind, this record places every avid listener on a journey, where the story is told not with words, but with music. And exactly that is the purpose of music and once more demonstatrates, what great a musican Igor Almeida is.
