distortedcircuitry It's perfect for when you're in the mood to escape into an almost ethereal experience, craving the intensity of dark, industrial noise with stimulating atmospheric soundscapes in the background, draping the distant, deliberately subtle vocals--to be as descriptive as I can be! Lana.Del.Rabies!! Favorite track: Mourning.

Sean Whitaker Seven degrees of separation to Lana Del Rey…While participating in a YouTube chat with cEvin Key, he was interviewing an OG DJ Baseck. After watching him perform I did a deep dive into the music of Baseck and saw that he remixed another musician, Lana Del Rabies. Being a hugh fan of Ms. Rey I did another deep dive into Ms. Rabies music/sound. And here we are. Kicking myself for not discovering you sooner but appreciative to be on board now !! Thank You 🙏 Favorite track: Forgive.

You won’t know What I’ll show There's no time Lost your mind Theres no time For the damned and divine I’ve become Everything, everything What have you done
2.
A Plague 04:09
To all who came before and all who return I am the creator And from me all things are done He was a light the savior The sun Wretched one Shame for my Poison fills the sky The body bears your name My Child of shame To all who came before and all who return Your coward's deeds Condemn you Eternally Fallen one Your reign is done Insects fill the sky Save all mine All who conquer die So does my Love
3.
Master 07:32
Are you afraid Are you afraid of yourself I am the god I am the god of you, still I am the master Come here my child Where is your mother Where is your soul I have control You weep, you weep You smell defeat Kiss the feet Kiss the feet of the child that you stole I am the god to which you weep I am the cry you call defeat I am the child that which you stole I am the master I have control
4.
Mother 08:52
Where is your heart A child screams into the dark Where is your soul I am now in control I see The fall A war Mater liberos tollit eam A master is a fool On his throne It’s coming for you You wait This is your consequence and I am the end I could never save you
5.
And everything's gone And I was wrong now I wait It carries me home The undertow I sink It’s gone
6.
Mourning 09:18
Don’t wait for me now I’m already lost Don’t cry for me now I’ve already lost Don’t pray for me now I was god Don’t waste words on A failure The shepherd killed the flock And Mother Still I’m torn The Mother Of a still born Blood of my own Flesh of my bone All that I’ve known Is gone And Where you did go And what have you done The love of a mother Cannot save the son A Holocaust A martyr The corpse of every daughter The child left for slaughter They fall on you Oh how I’ve failed I’ll take you away I unsay your name I give myself away They fall on me this way Death makes all things right
7.
And when the land breaks open A wound so deep I open my eyes For the first time He reaches for me I turn away I've made my choice I made my choice My body bears The root of all things I am all things A mother to you A mother to darkness A mother to no one A mother to everything I made my choice I didn't want to Empty as you I've done only what you've asked of me One day I hope you see What you take Is only From yourself He kills the thing inside himself What you take is only from yourself I gave you everything Everything returns A deep wound My water soothes A deep wound My water soothes That heals itself My water soothes I heal you My water soothes the aching land I heal myself My waters quiet the aching soul And this is where you go My water soothes the aching land My waters quiet the aching soul I'm taking you back My water soothes the aching land My waters quiet the aching soul
8.
Reckoning 03:58
Pearls stolen by swine Return to the divine A man kneels On all he steals A traitor The mind Devours Failure Of A son He breaks His brother He rapes His daughter He drowns His siblings His mother Holds him down I hold you down I hold you Do you reckon with the blood on my throne Only swine Kneels on the neck of my creation
9.
And who does god pray to When she’s lost And who does god pray to When she’s lost Her only child And who does god pray to When she’s watched Him rape and pillage Everything he’s got And who does god pray to When it’s her fault That man knows no end That man knows nothing in the end And who do I pray to When everything is gone And who do I pray to When I was wrong
10.
Forgive 05:49
I tried so long To breathe underwater I was Held down By ghosts My ghosts Death I no longer fear I’m still right here Where does this end Where do I begin Is this all That’s left Every day A weight upon My brow my wound my soul One day I will leave this place One day we will leave this place One day we will see our grace One day I will be Free

about

‘STREGA BEATA’ is the 3rd full-length album from Sam An’s dark electronic, genre-bridging solo project under the semi-notorious moniker Lana Del Rabies. After a brief hiatus, this record is her first full-length release since the gothic, industrial noise of 2018's Shadow World, ‘STREGA BEATA’, which loosely translates to "Blessed Witch," is an apocalyptic myth told through dense, textural compositions pulling from the vast corners of dark genre music. The title's meaning is appropriate for the existential, cathartic, and otherworldly themes explored.

The record is told through the evolving perspective of a cryptic and obscure "Mother" creator figure, specifically echoing the mother and crone goddess archetypes. This figure is vocalized through LDR's eerie harmonies, spoken words, pleading howls, and frenetic screams aimed towards another archetype, the chosen one. These vocalizations sometimes hover above trip-hop low tempos and unnerving atmospheres ("Mourning," "Hallowed is the Earth"), sink through vintage horror movie darkwave synths ("Master," "Apocalypse Fatigue"), weave through art metal distortions and relentless drone bass tones (Mother), or blast through unconventional industrial rhythms ("Prayers of Consequence," "A Plague").

"There have been many moments while writing this record that I was grieving through an event that was personal or worldwide, and then another sudden, tragic event would happen. I needed to re-evaluate what I wanted to say because my world and perspective had shifted again. Trying to keep up with tragedy can make one feel helpless, and one way to feel in control is through acts of destruction. My personal impulse towards destruction nearly ended this project."
