Lavra – Bluenothing (1995)


Country: Finland

Tracklist
1. Strange Lands 06:36
2. To Elide Something 06:24
3. Yesterday It Was Silent 05:27
4. From The Suction Of Blue 07:08
5. E Minor 07:10
6. Never 05:33

Lavra was an atmospheric/doom/post/rock project from Finland
that was created from the progression of the band Sceptical Schizo.
Sceptical Schizo was created in 1988 as a death/thrash band and from 1989 to 1991 they released four demos.
The band was constantly searching for a more original and personal sound and in late 1991,
with the addition of a second guitarist, they recorded four tracks of atmospheric doom/death metal.
Two of these songs (Into The Suction Of Blue / Withdrawn) were released as a self-produced 7" vinyl EP in June of 1992.
The remaining two songs were offered to some labels and in late 1992 the Italian Wounded Love Records
agreed to publish them as a 7" vinyl EP entitled "The Plight", a release that saw the light of day in early 1993.
At the same time they decided to change their name to Larva.
As Larva the band moved one step forward with their style
and in 1995 they released the album "Bluenothing" on the Finnish Demonosound label.
The track "From The Suction Of Blue" was also a remade version of the Sceptical Schizo track "Into The Suction Of Blue".
After the release of the album the band for unknown reasons was disbanded.
In 2019 two of the remaining members of their old line up decided to resurrect Sceptical Schizo
and released the EP "Aggressions" with their style nowadays moving towards thrash metal territories.

Michael J.V. Hensley (Yen Pox, Blood Box), Nihk Ryan Loiacano (Self Spiller, Snares Of Sixes, Climb To Zalem).
The band was created in the mid '90s and since then they released four albums,
various compilation appearances and a few limited releases as well as a handful of live performances.
Each release exploring a different theme, a different style and a different approach,
and never being content with what they have achieved.
Jason William Walton decided to end the project in 2008.

"Hercules In The Haunted World" (Italian: "Ercole Al Centro Della Terra", lit. "Hercules At The Center Of The Earth")
is a 1961 Italian sword and sandal (aka peplum) film and the second official directorial effort of Mario Bava.
British bodybuilder Reg Park plays Hercules while British actor Christopher Lee appears as Hercules' nemesis Lico.
Shooting at Cinecittà, director Mario Bava used some of the same sets
from the earlier "Hercules And The Conquest Of Atlantis" which had already starred Reg Park.
The film started a short-living subgenre of films trying to combine the peplum genre with horror/gothic elements.
Films considered belonging to this subgenre include Riccardo Freda's "The Witch's Curse"
and Sergio Corbucci's and Giacomo Gentilomo's "Maciste Contro Il Vampiro".
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Armando Trovajoli (also Trovaioli, 2 September 1917 – 28 February 2013),
an Italian film composer and pianist with over 300 credits as composer and/or conductor,
many of them jazz scores for exploitation films of the Commedia all'italiana genre.
Trovajoli collaborated with Dino Risi, Vittorio De Sica, Ettore Scola on a number of projects
and was also the author of several Italian musicals.
Digitmovies in 2006 released for the first time the complete original motion picture score that is characterized
by innovative sound experiments that almost anticipate the colors of later psychedelic era in the decade.

The band released in 1995 the cassette "終歌" and was featured on both the "Tokyo Flashback 4" compilation series
from Japan's P.S.F. Records and on the "Land Of The Rising Noise Vol. 2" compilation by Charnel Music.
In 1997 their debut CD "Syuuka" was released revealing their beautiful dreamy music.
"Syuuka" consists of minimalistic slow etheral/ambient with simple bass lines while
Shinmei Suzuki's electric violin chords blends with Yuko Hasegawa's gorgeously eerie/chanting vocals.
The album "Hypnosis" was Onna-Kodomo's next work in 2003, that is an one-hour solo by Yuko Hasegawa mostly on bass, followed by the album "Oboro" in 2003 featuring Hasegawa and Shinmei Suzuki on violin and sax.
Shizuo Uchida, among his many projects, has also teamed up with another Hasegawa, Hirotomo Hasegawa
 to record under the moniker Hasegawa-Shizuo, while together with Yuko Hasegawa 
joined Masahiro Deguchi to form the project Le Son De L'Os.
