Suspiriorum releases debut Ep "Suspiriorum"

After leaving Hinayana, bass player Joseph Maniscalco set out with a vision to create a fusion of two beloved things: horror movie soundtracks and classic rock. Armed with the inspiration of groups like Goblin, Blue Öyster Cult, Coven and Opeth, a niche was found and created. The ashes of an ending situation became the fire of a new one. Demos were written and given to musicians from Austin bands to expand upon and create a full-blown EP of unique compositions. SUSPIRIORUM features Tim Driscoll on lead guitars (Runescarred, A Good Rogering), Suzy Colca on vocals (Witchcryer, Temple of Love), Steve Colca on rhythm guitars (Destroyer of Light, Temple of Love) and Joseph Maniscalco on bass and synth (Ex-Hinayana).

SUSPIRIORUM take their cue from bands like Italian progressive and cinematic rock masters Goblin, while expanding their sound further to include inspiration from occult rock pioneers Blue Öyster Cult and Coven, as well as prog rock luminaries Opeth. The "Suspiriorum" EP was recorded and mixed at Red Nova Ranch by Jeff Henson (Clutch, High On Fire, Spirit Adrift, Duel) and mastered by Alberto De Icaza (Clutch, Dead Cross, Crobot). Artwork was created by David Paul Seymour (Conan, Municipal Waste, High On Fire) with CD layout and additional photography and art done by Erik Bredthauer of Necroblanca Photography and Design.
