Demonologists w/ Vainoras
Last updated: 27 December 2025
Due for release in the coming weeks is the excellent collaboration DEMONOLOGISTS W/ VAINORAS
An unexpected merge of dark extremities - which forms together into a beautifully constructed piece of work.
DEMONOLOGISTS are renowned for their obscure horror electronics - dark and noisy but structured within rhythmical chaos.
VAINORAS is a talented multi-instrumentalist from Australia - mainly renowned for his metal creations, particularly the doom act SUBTERRANEAN DISPOSITION. Alongside that he has forged a solid body of work with his side projects heading in the dark jazz loungecore fields - punctuated noticeably with his use of saxophone.
Blended together they create a lavish collection of tracks that explore the lysergic properties of the botanical world.
Released on digi CD with beautiful artwork and layout. Look out for this soon.....

More news to follow - expect a release in February 2026.
