Airfish is an experimental, post-industrial, psychedelic ensemble weaving sounds from Palermo, Sicily, since 1992. A real backbone of the Sicilian underground music scene, this is a band of difficult categorization, started with an industrial punk/metal style (inspired by the likes of Godflesh, Swans, Throbbing Gristle) that has rapidly evolved into an experimental eclecticism of a Mediterranean matrix that does not neglect any area of pop, rock, jazz and electronics. Anarchists and esotericists affiliated with Thelema’s church, early disciples of Psychick TV, Airfish career spanned nearly 30 years; recently, they suffered the loss of Pietro Palazzo, principal voice and founding member, who died of cancer at the age of 47 two years ago, after recording various tracks, including those on this album. The Crowleyan Hypothesis, imbued with dark, voodoo-ritual and psychedelic atmospheres, is dedicated to the feminine element and to Aleister Crowley, and represents part of their artistic testament. Musically, the disc’s style ranges from psychedelic rock to expressionist electronics, drawing inspiration as much from the likes of Black Angels and 13th Floor Elevators as from Tangerine Dream and Can. Among the guests, Simone Sfameli (JuJu), Dario D’Alessandro (Homunculus Res), Giorgio Trombino (Haemophagus, Sixthcircle).The Crowleyan Hypothesis is available as a Limited Edition 140 grams double-LP set,pressed in an edition of 300 copies. File under occult music.
Gli Airfish sono un ensemble sperimentale, post-industriale, psichedelico da Palermo, Sicilia, che produce elaborate architetture sonore gi dal 1992. Vera spina dorsale della scena musicale underground siciliana, questa una band di difficile categorizzazione, che ha iniziato con uno stile punk/metal industriale (ispirato da artisti del calibro di Godflesh, Swans, Throbbing Gristle), rapidamente evolutosi in un eclettismo sperimentale, di matrice mediterranea, che non trascura nessun ambito del pop, del rock, del jazz e dell’elettronica. Anarchici ed esoteristi affiliati alla chiesa di Thelema, discepoli di Psychick TV, la carriera degli Airfish durata quasi 30 anni; di recente hanno subito la perdita di Pietro Palazzo, voce principale e membro fondatore, morto di cancro all’et di 47 anni due anni fa, dopo aver registrato vari brani, compresi quelli di questo album. The Crowleyan Hypothesis, intriso di atmosfere oscure, rituali voodoo e psichedeliche, dedicato all’elemento femminile e ad Aleister Crowley, e rappresenta parte del loro testamento artistico. Musicalmente, lo stile del disco spazia dal rock psichedelico all’elettronica espressionista, traendo ispirazione tanto da artisti del calibro di Black Angels e 13th Floor Elevators quanto da Tangerine Dream e Can. Tra gli ospiti, Simone Sfameli (JuJu), Dario D’Alessandro (Homunculus Res), Giorgio Trombino (Haemophagus, Sixthcircle).
