»Shrine« is the result of meticulous research into sound and structure, as the three musicians seek to go beyond the threshold, to create new sensations for the listener.

Graphic design was made by Alberto Casadei, with artwork photos by Enrico Piraccini and band photos by Jacopo Gioacchini. The limited editoin vinyl (150 copies) was printed by Krakatoa Records (Castellón de la Plana, Spain).

Biography:

The three members of Onioroshi met for the first time in early 2014 during the Kimono Lights project, a dreampop-shoegaze independent band which recorded 2 LPs and an EP in three years and played in venues around Italy. In early 2018 that band stopped and in the next months Onioroshi’s debut album »Beyond These Mountains« was created. The LP 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, packed in a double gatefold which contains a CD version of the album as well.

While the band was trying to find its place in the music industry the pandemic struck the world of music and forced them to change their plans. In early 2020 Onioroshi started working on a new LP, investing the next three years into giving shape to what really is their idea of music, creating something more structured and deep than their debut album. The new LP »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 by Andrea Scardovi.

This album is a coproduction with Bitume Productions (France).
