Empusae ft Peter Bjargo - Onus

“Onus” marks the second collaborative venture between Empusae and Peter Bjärgö, following their critically acclaimed album “Proslambanomenos.” Unlike their previous collaboration, where Nicolas (Empusae) added instrumentations to Pete’s compositions, “Onus” takes a reverse approach. Peter contributes his voice and additional sounds to Nicolas’s compositions, resulting in a seamless fusion of their musical universes. 

A voyage into the darkest aspect of humanity, navigating trough ambient atmospheres, melancholic chants, floating arpeggios, drifting melodic pads, pounding drums, alienating analog… leaving the voyager in the endless duality between hope, solidarity and empathy against despair Onus, literally means “burden of life”, is about the the chains we have connected with our demons as individuals as well as the darkest and most cruel aspects of humanity. 

Music composed by Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe. 
Vocals, lyrics and additional instrumentation by Peter Bjärgö. 
Additional vocals by Ia Bjärgö. 
Mastering by Peter Bjärgö. 
Artwork and design by Christel Morvan. 

CD comes in a high quality 4-panel digisleeve packaging designed by Christel Morvan.
