Scattered Purgatory

Formed in Taipei, Taiwan in 2013, and comprised of Lu Li-Yang and Lu Jiachi, Scattered Purgatory is a name derived from a Taoist ritual which expiates the souls of the innocent from a state in between life and death and then at last, releases them. 'Sua-Hiam-Zun' is based on the duo's original drone metal/psychedelic folk style, but at the same time dives deeper into synthesizer layering and sequencing. While keeping the original ambience, on this recording the duo combines krautrock influences (Popol Vuh and Cluster) with traces of industrial music (f.i. SPK), giving the ancient ethereal vibe a modern sound texture.
