Rich Oddie of Orphx and Alex Pi of Pi Electronics introduce Anaxia, a new project arriving on Veyl with the 7-track LP “Maska”.
Built from raw electronics, stripped-down drum machines and a stark
post-punk pulse, the record sits somewhere between industrial pressure
and the ghostly minimalism of Suicide. It is direct but shadowed,
physical but restrained, with vocals from Oddie and Pi cutting through
the machinery rather than sitting on top of it.
Oddie’s background in Canada’s industrial underground and Pi’s
long-running connection to the Greek electronic scene meet in a sound
that feels tense, reduced and fully intentional. KAOSMOS and Florian
Engerling add additional vocals, while remixes from In Trance 95 and
Veyl regulars Years of Denial extend the material into darker, more
hypnotic territory.
With “Maska”, Anaxia deliver a debut that feels fully formed: nocturnal,
focused and stripped to its essentials. A natural fit for Veyl, the
record draws a line between post-punk, industrial electronics and body
music without overexplaining itself.
