Zaliva-D - Wicked [Knekelhuis]

KH020 - Zaliva-D - Forsaken
Release date: 25th February 2019

Welcome to the richly rhythmic and deeply esoteric world of Zaliva-D. Based in the Chinese capital of Beijing, they’ve been circling the country’s borders for more than a decade due to the extreme difficulty of streaming music there. Zaliva-D consists of musician Li Chao and Aisin-Gioro Yuanjin, who’s responsible for their stunning live visuals. We’re very proud to present Forsaken, their 4th album, but first ever vinyl release. Wrapped around a core of gut wrenchingly ferocious kicks and haunting vocals, these tracks possess a mantra-like quality and drown the listener into a world of Chinese and South East Asian textures. Forsaken, mastered by Wouter Brandenburg, is their most well-written, organic and esoteric record to date, showing a more fragile, sensitive side. Soon Zaliva-D will perform on European soil, accompanied by this Knekelhuis debut. Artwork by Fenna Fiction.

This album is just something else.. Zalvia -D is at a level that doesn't exist. They have managed to create a level of their own.

We like them so much that it was oblivious we had to review their latest album - Calling.

I like the way it sounds like a lucid fucking nightmare
