Serpents is a journey into otherworldly, strange, and uncomfortable places. Pulsating, ritualistic, clairvoyant, and dark. Karyn Crisis and Luciano Lamanna have coiled together to form Serpents, their new ritual dark ambient / experimental electronics project.

"Anima" is not an album for people who need to remain in their comfort zone. It’s an album of spells, protections, and healings, and likely it will take listeners on a journey into the subconscious… that dreamy world where only the brave allow their awareness to open up reveal secrets often kept from themselves. The spiritual journey is a solitary one that sometimes feels like drowning and sometimes feels like flying, and this album is a soundtrack to the grief and discoveries that inevitably result from these experiences. Turn off the lights, lie on the floor, and let these electronic atmospheres and layers of voices wash over you, flow into your heart and take you where you dare to go. 

Karyn Crisis, a pioneer vocalist in the field of metal music since 1993, is known for her far-reaching vocal range; from demon growls to angelic croons and most everything in between. In Serpents, she explores the hypnotic and repetitive nature of charged words and a stripped-down melodic vocal expression, weaving sonic spells that are no less weird than her vocals for her former band of 13 years Crisis, guest vocals for Italy’s Ephel Duath, and her current band Gospel Of The Witches.

Luciano Lamanna is a sound engineer, DJ producer and remixer, adding his touch on collaborations such as ADSR SPQR, Balance, Der Noir and Creta. His strength thus lies in the puzzle of sounds which is the fruit of the most desperate of experiences from techno, industrial, wave and electronic - all of which are knowledgeably tessellated through the art of improvisation.
