Luminol Records releases the second album of the Finnish band. A shamanic, non-dogmatic and powerful alternative-rock and post-progressive work
“We are going through a painful transformation within our individual and collective lives. It’s up to us to choose the path we’ll step on. It’s high time to embrace this challenging change and use our potential to preserve the good and make sure the evil won’t rise again. If we accept the challenge and overcome it, we just might convince Ciklos to let us enter the next cycle.”
The second Spiritraiser album is a powerful, inspired and heartfelt work. The italian post-prog label Luminol Records is proud to release Ciklos, a visionary album focused on renewal, on energy and positive thinking.
The Finnish band comes back after four years with an eagerly awaited album, ten powerful tracks full of pathos with a label that has achieved a significant ranking in the post-progressive area, with a non-dogmatic vision of progressive rock culture.
Spiritraiser was born in Helsinki in 2007, in 2018 they released the debut-album Inspiral, then played in several shows in Finland, including the flagship festival of the Finnish music industry Lost In Music. The four members have ventured into music for many years (Profane Omen, Rootbrain, Enemy of the Sun, Sleep Of Monsters and Fone) and have established themselves as professionals with their own merits.
Between alternative-rock, prog-rock and prog-metal, power and introspection, melody and intensity, Ciklos perfectly embodies the group’s philosophy: channeling universal energy into sound and music to create worlds to listen to, close your eyes and travel .
