Maison Dieu embrace the wilds on »Herbacea«!

»Herbacea« is the first EP by Maison Dieu and includes 4 tracks linked together through the magic of plants. In fact, the songs tell of 4 plants in particular: Ivy (»Edera«), calla lily (»Calla«), mandrake (»Mandragola«) and sage (»Musica, terra e salvia«).

The EP begins with an intro characterized by the sound of the shamanic drum, an intro that the band usually plays at the beginning of each concert and that connects to the first song »Edera«.

»Herbacea« is characterized by sounds that lull and temper the soul in the Maison Dieu style with real musical contrasts within each song; psychedelic sounds, flashes of metal and doom, combined with lyrics that go from the hermetic poetry of »Mandragola« to the songwriting of »Musica, terra e salvia«. Maison Dieu’s music is constantly evolving and this EP is just a preview of what we could hear in the future.

»Mandragola« is the first single from Maison Dieu’s forthcoming EP release »Herbacea«. The song is immediately characterized by the trio’s unmistakable sound, with pounding rhythms, doom and stoner distortions, all surrounded by an aura of mystery and sudden changes of atmosphere.

The lyrics are a hermetic poem that speaks of the dialogue between the plant from which the song takes its name (Mandragola) and a person intent on uprooting it to extract the magical properties derived from the root, which is known to be shrouded in countless stories, myths and legends.

All the songs were recorded and mixed by Michele Bellagamba at the Fleuer Bleue studio.
