Ilienses - Jae '2024

Tracks list

       If north Europe has Wardruna, Heilung and Forndom, Italy has ILIENSES.
This could not be possible but from Sardinia, the island of the ancient Nuragic
civilizations, whose traditions and languages still live nowdays.

ILIENSES Dark Folk music it's ritualistic, thickly atmospheric and deeply
evocative of Barbagia's mysteries and spirits. The band plays with
self-constructed traditional instruments, sings in Sardinian language and makes
use of A Tenore chants, a Sardinian autochthon kind of throat singing.

"Lost in the undefined time and space of visions that manifest themselves in
their primal sacredness, we felt the importance of searching for our roots. In
particular, we tried to understand how the forms that make us up also make up
earth, water, fire and stars and how they reach us through an audible and silent
language. We recognize their vibrations but not their location in our mind, and
hence the need to find the key, the "Jae" of the mystery that opens hidden
portals. Stones, woods, tombs, Domus, wells and Nuraghe, our primordial homes,
are all thousands of years old living matter and are the places where we started
chasing the thread of time, attached to both life and death. At the other end of
the thread, we found esoteric figures, some appealing and some ominous, who hold
with the same thread the extremes of everything, the beginning and the end of
every being and every form, of men and even of time itself." - Ilienses (2024)
