Bizirik: More Chilean prog snacks!

Tweet

The most well-known Chilean bands is Aisles and Fractal. But one necessarily not so famous and well-known band is Bizirik. That band offers a experimental music project, with roots of progressive rock, art rock and ethnic fusion, where change and innovation are part of its sound identity, navigating from rhythmic irregularity to psychedelic trance. He is a survivor, one more within the erratic journey of human beings on this earth. Committed to the evolution and the law of ethnic cultures. Bizirik is prog snacks from Chile.

Ceremonia II is Bizirik`s last effort and an album 11 songa, some short and some pretty long. 2020, the recent awakening of the insurgency of the vulgar, dormant decades ago in the oblivion of history and now branded as an alien troop, falls prisoner in the last generational capitalist experiment: a crude imperial slaughterhouse, backed by the usual belligerent vinegars. The mobsters of control and home seclusion of an untimely pandemic also conspired against other vagabonds, wandering with rage, who nevertheless survived with their insurgent and interstellar art. Concerted councils, apparent ramblings with hidden meanings, collaborations, releases, they were not drug issues or simple détente. They were a ritual, a Ceremony …

Recorded between November 2019 and November 2020, in Rancagua, Santiago (Chile), Los Angeles (USA), Leszno (Poland) and Mexico City (Mexico), mixed and mastered in Rancagua by Bizirik.
