Bio:
Band Thy Shining Curse is the solo musical project of a death metal initiate, Leonidas, with a primary focus on the practice of hierurgical artistry through symphonic methexis and hermetic imagery. Founded in 2021 in Pittsburgh, US, the band is dedicated to the vision of its founder, aiming to create an immersive mystical experience by invoking the archetypical instincts of man via powerful symbolism, following the principles of the Pythagorean tradition, the Eleusinian mysteries, Neoplatonism and Western Esotericism. The depiction of its members is purposefully avoided. Instead, two mysterious figures act as the band’s visual representatives, Celeus and Celeucis. Their purpose is to complement the auditory experience with a subliminal initiation to the visual language of symbols, acting as modern-day hierophants. The band’s debut album - Theurgia - has recently been completed and the quest for a label to realize this mystical vision is ongoing.
Album:
Album "Theurgia” is a collection of seven musical rites, revolving around a common thematic axis; transgressing the physical world. “Theurgia” stands for “divine work” in Greek and was developed as a term by the Neoplatonists. It describes a series of magical acts that aim to connect the human soul to a hierarchy of superior beings, leading up to the supreme being or so-called, The One. In parallel, the story behind each song of this album is related in one way or another to the struggle of mortals to approach divinity and the world beyond, often through unorthodox and questionable ways, mystical cults and abominable rituals. Some of these protagonists are derived from the classic literature and are easily recognizable. Others are products of the composer’s imagination. Celeus and Celeucis are visually present through the entire journey, depicted on the front cover and the booklet of the album, engaging in carefully orchestrated acts of hierurgical symbolism, facilitating the audience’s “Methexis” and eventual “Catharsis”.
