"Burning Down Hades" is the latest offering from the enigmatic and virtuosic guitarist Tisziji Munoz, set to ignite the free jazz scene with its release on May 1, 2023, via Ra-Kalam Records. This 48-minute exploration of sound and spirit is a testament to Munoz's unique voice in the genre, blending raw intensity with profound introspection.
The album, Munoz's latest since "Spiritual Drum Kingship" earlier this year, features six sprawling tracks, each a journey through the depths of human experience and the heights of spiritual transcendence. From the haunting opening notes of "Suffering Psychic Non-Existence" to the cathartic resolution of "The Final Cleansing," Munoz guides the listener through a landscape of sound that is as challenging as it is rewarding.
Munoz's guitar work is the heart of the album, his fingers dancing over the strings with a dexterity and passion that is uniquely his own. His playing is supported by a rhythm section that is equally adept at creating a sense of urgency and a sense of calm, their interplay with Munoz's guitar creating a rich tapestry of sound.
"Burning Down Hades" is not just an album; it's an experience. It's a raw, unfiltered look into the mind of a master musician, a man who has dedicated his life to exploring the boundaries of sound and spirit. It's an album that demands to be heard, to be felt, to be experienced. So, turn up the volume, close your eyes, and let the music of Tisziji Munoz wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
