Sealionwoman weaves an intricate and malignant tapestry drawn deeply from the mythic allure of European folklore and the horrors of the Earth, the spectral drama of Kitty Whitelaw’s androgynous, shape-shifting vocal performances, and Tye McGivern’s masterful manipulation of the double bass.

Violinist and composer Gibrana Cervantes melds the grace of classical tradition with the raw intensity of metal. In this world premiere, she’ll collaborate with Tra Tra Trax label boss Colombian Drone Mafia, who bends the primal forces of synthesis and the raw immediacy of field recordings into immersive drones that slither like specters, while furtive ambiences prowl with predatory patience.

Raising chaos from the infernal abyss, Witch Club Satan’s feminist black metal summons the spectral fury of women burned at stakes, resurrected through the howls of their own defiance. Both theater and invocation, live rituals unfold in grotesque beauty with gore-drenched costumes, nudity, and wretched personas: a witch’s sabbath for the disenchanted and the enraged, flensing the sanitized archetype of womanhood to lay bare the monstrous, divine truth beneath.
