Hailing from the Lombard provinces in Northern Italy, Midryasi is a sonic trio playing highly acid heavy-psych with doom metal and space (even kraut!) rock influences. The group was formed in 2002 and made their debut in 2005 with a very interesting self-titled album. After taking a break from the studio, during which they intensively played live and shared the stage with the likes of Witchcraft, The Heads, Doomraiser, Zippo, and Wall of Sleep, the guys are now ready to spread their unholy gospel enclosed in the 6 tracks of their lately released sophomore effort. Corridors indeed marks a notable quantum leap forward, in that it encapsulates and conveys all of the band?s lysergic and spaced-out attitude in a very well-developed, focused, and distinctive way. This is ritualistic music for free minds and most likely to cause the listener mydriasis, that is, the excessive dilation of the pupil, a pathology which serves as inspiration for the band?s moniker. It can be due to disease, trauma, or the use of drugs. Or rather to a massive dose of the music played by this amazing power trio, which, along with acts like OJM, Zippo, Doomraiser, and L?Ira del Baccano among others, firmly puts Italy?s name on the international heavy-psych map. Hats off!
