After five years of waiting, Drastic's (now DRASTIQUE) second album is finally out! Mahavira (ex Ensoph) and Fay (female vocalist) joined Chris in his project.
"Pleasureligion", this is the title of the album, is deeply emotional and majestic, with original arrangements and unexpected sonic solutions.
This is the track list: 5enses, The Succubus, Legacy of Fascination, Perfect Nothing, Maria Magdalena (a wired cover version of Sandra's hit of the 80's), Immortal Beloved, Voyage Dans La Femme.
"Pleasureligion" is a concept album (as it happened for the previous one, "Thieves of Kisses") focused on "the search for pleasure as a religion", led by the sacred fire of such poets as D.Alighieri, W.Blake, S.T.Coleridge, J.Keats and P.B.Shelley.
The first printrun of 1000 copies is available in an elegant digipak version.
