Empusae & Pilgrimage To Pleroma – Hidden Segment (Digital/CD EP – Cyclic Law)
This EP was created through a collaboration between Belgian artists Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe (Empusae) and Mattias Van Hulle (Pilgrimage to Pleroma).
Inspired by esoteric themes, they crafted three immersive tracks that steadily evolve toward a climactic point. Dark, humming undertones are now blended with sacred-like chants, while rousing percussion leads the listener toward an almost transcendental sensation. Industrial sounds rise to the surface, creating a disturbing effect within the dark atmosphere. The paradox of this experience is that it also evokes a sense of prosperity.
This is undoubtedly a successful collaboration between two artists who seem to understand and complement each other perfectly. Hopefully, they will continue to explore this shared vision in future works. (Rating:8).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
