{"product_id":"vascular-labyrinth","title":"Vascular Labyrinth","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter writing and recording ONKOS' self-titled album in 2019, Robert\nWoods-LaDue put together a 13-piece band to perform the material live…\nbut after a handful of shows, the world was hit by Covid-19\nWhile the band was unable to play for the foreseeable future, these performances\ninspired new directions which vastly expanded the ONKOS sound.During the\nlockdown in 2020, Woods-LaDue built new drums specifcally for this music and\nwrote material to explore the dynamic capabilities of the live band. Lyrically,\n\"Vascular Labyrinth\" branches away from the debut album's strict thematic focus\non cancer, but retains the same hallucinogenic, abstract and surrealist qualities.\nWith the inclusion of new percussion instruments, a horn section, vibraphone,\nmarimba, keyboards, and a second vocalist, ONKOS reaches into strange new\nterritories.\nFrom sparse, improvisatory pieces for solo acoustic guitars (\"Awaken To The\nSunset\", \"Goodbye To The Light\") to deathmetal- oriented power- chord riffs\n(\"Bethel\") and syncopated rhythms on a collision course with dissonant melodies\nand brutal growls (\"Furoncles Bitumineux\", \"Lux'Lac\"), ONKOS' \"Vascular\nLabyrinth\" is a triumphal journey through the infnite possibilities offered by a\nunique artistic vision, with one foot in metal, one in avant-jazz... and one in the\nmusical elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I, Voidhanger Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50483357352267,"sku":"2028422","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a1512063783_10_1afd1cb3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727565602","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/vascular-labyrinth","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
