Onioroshi

The three members of Onioroshi met for the first time in early 2014 during the Kimono Lights project, a dreampop-shoegaze independent band, which ended in early 2018: Onioroshi’s debut album was created right afterwards. The LP "Beyond These Mountains" was recorded, mixed and mastered at Andrea Scardovi’s Dunastudio by Ivano Giovedì; the cover is an handmade piece of art by Thomas Raimondi, the visual artist who created Motorpsycho’s Here Be Monster Vol.II artwork. A limited edition double-vinyl of the LP was printed, with 150 copies in three colors (black, red, green), 50 numerated pieces per color.

While the band was trying to find its place in the music industry the pandemic struck the world and forced them to change their plans. In early 2020 Onioroshi started working on a new LP, investing the next four years into giving shape to what really is their idea of music, creating something more structured and deep than their debut album. “Shrine” is the result of this meticulous work of sound and structure research, with the three musicians searching for ways beyond the threshold, trying to create a completely new experience for the listener. Like the debut album, the second LP was recorded, mixed and mastered at Dunastudio, with Andrea Scardovi.

"Shrine" was published for Bitume Productions (France) on February 21, 2025. A limited edition vinyl (150 copies) and CD (100 copies) is available for order on their Bandcamp.
