Hailing from the city of Kolkata (West Bengal, India), Infernal Diatribe are a horde that roams our planet for about a decade and a half in the meantime. After a first EP in 2016, called Videha Mukti (initially released by the Indian division of Transcending Obscurity Records), things went silent for quite a while. At the beginning of the current decade, the band was part of two splits, being one with Portuguese sweeties Sonneillon (2022) and one with Norway’s finest Moor (early 2023).

O fallen corpses of slaves, your dream is your nightmare…

A swift introduction. The A Thousand Reasons project was formed fifteen years ago by some Simone Sut aka Zimon, who did have his musical roots within the Rock and Metal scene. He used to be, or still is, a permanent or session member in the likes of Overunit Machine, Goot, or Scarecrown (with that ‘n’ indeed).

We overwhelmed those insignificant creatures... we unleashed our legions from the portals without a thought…

Every year we do look out for the newest effort within the Lovecraft-inspired set by the Cryo Chamber Collaboration series. …at least, I do… Each time, the sonic experience focuses on one specific aspect, one singular entity within the mighty Lovecraft mythos. The Cryo Chamber label presented us the narratives of Shub-Niggurath, Tsathoggua, Azathoth, Hastur, Nyarlathotep and others before.

I will keep it short this time, for this project does not need any introduction anymore; does it? God Body Disconnect is the main outfit by Bruce Moallem (also behind Vikorra Doom or Underwater Sleep Orchestra, and part of the Cryo Chamber Collaboration project). This album, even-though released almost half a year ago, is another milestone, and that’s why it deserves some additional support whatsoever.
