The album artwork is a painting of the same name by Sonic Jesus's founder Marco Baldassarri.
Ars Moriendi is regarded as the end of an anachronic circle, initiated in 2016 with Rites of Lunacy (released 2021) and 2018 with SOL, now concluded.
Recorded between the end of the pandemic lockdown and the beginning of the Ukranian invasion, Ars Moriendi may be the darkest dreamweapon production to this time.
Ars Moriendi, as referred in the late Middle Ages Latin texts, offers protocol and procedures to a good death. It is a messenger of hope, as you take control of the past, by acknowledging it and accept it, you take control of the future.
The hint is well present in the music, by combining the influences of the forefathers who inspired their name (Angus Maclise, Tony conrad, Spacemen 3) with the ones of the industrial masters such as Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten and The Young Gods, dreamweapon's music is a minimalist, droney, head swirling psychedelia, with a dark, industrial scent.
European tour now in the making, scheduled for November 2023.
Released digitally on July 26th, 2023, Danse Macabre is the first advance for Ars Moriendi, the 09th album by Portuguese drone experimentalist dreamweapon, alias for Andre' Couto, already bass player for 10000 Russos.
Accompanied by Dave Guerrero's circular, dark, visuals, the track takes the listener in an inner journey whilst reflecting via repetition, on purpose, inevitability and impartiality of both life and death.
The chorus's lyrics reach a conclusive state of awareness: "all you are is what you see, all you see is what you are and all you are is what you'll get: we are nothing.”
