Akin to opening a portal beyond this mortal coil, music beckons us to step into other mindsets, realities, and worlds. In the same fashion, Spiritual Poison entices listeners to dive deeper via its cinematic drone punctuated by dynamics of jarring heaviness, numbing feedback, and unexpected melodic reprieve.
The vision of artist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Ethan McCarthy, Spiritual Poison beckons us to step into other mindsets, realities, and worlds, akin to opening a portal beyond this mortal coil. The project entices listeners to dive deeper via its cinematic drone punctuated by dynamics of jarring heaviness, numbing feedback, and unexpected melodic reprieve— this sound instantly captivates Spiritual Poison’s 2023 debut, Incorporeal, which is out tomorrow on Closed Casket Activities.
Ahead of the album’s release, Spiritual Poison has shared an immersive new music video for Incorporeal‘s opening track, “Summon.” The nearly eight-minute track introduces Spiritual Poison’s visceral, venomous, and vital vision in widescreen. “I wanted [the album] to sound like a long journey through an otherworldly doorway,” McCarthy muses about Incorporeal. “I think of spirituality a lot, so some of those ideas are present. Musically, there was so much emphasis on different instruments and trying things outside of the typical worlds of metal and noise.” He continues, “’Summon’ ushers you outside of the reality you’re currently in.”
