ZCluster Album Launch - Bands + Shibari Performances

MELBOURNE! Live Industrial/Gothic bands & Shibari- TOGETHER AT LAST!

After 6 years of EP's, gigs and touring, ZCluster are proud to announce their first full length album "The Rapture"
Out now at zcluster.bandcamp.com and most digital stores and streaming services.

Our slow burn launch tour begins in Melbourne, where we'll be showcasing new songs with some of our favourite bands as well as beautiful Shibari performances.

"BDSM / kink and erotic exploration have always been a strong continuing theme throughout the way I approach the music and lyrics of ZCluster. I've had incredibly powerful transformative experiences, deeply connective moments, as well as just shameless fun through the medium of sex, ritual and BDSM. Being able to combine my love of Shibari with my music by putting on a night where the two can come together is a dream come true." - Sai Jaiden Lillith, Vocalist (Zcluster)

Sai Jaiden Lillith & Eve X will also be performing as Infernal Desire Machine, putting on a high energy, intense Shibari suspension ritual, a reclamation of witch burning into an erotic empowering celebration of the primal, the esoteric and a call to burn that which no longer serves.

Join them, Asylum Sisters, Von Riga (Shibari performance) and Enryka in Melbourne's first Industrial / Gothic + Shibari performance night!

Infernal Desire Machine:
INFERNAL DESIRE MACHNE is made up of components Sai Jaiden Lillith and Eve X and is a collaborative exploration of transgressive art in performance and the ecstatic. Eve & Sai have been performing, creating and collaborating since 2019 on a variety of projects, including raising a tiny human.

Asylum Sisters:
Asylum Sisters duo Caitlin Cunningham and Martin Pike are Melbourne's hard nu-metal electronic goth act. Formed in 2012 Asylum Sisters have been experimenting more and more creating new music, defying their sound, and evolving as a band. They bring a unique blend of techno energy with heavy guitars and screamo vocals. Their sets are dark, fun and get the room moving.

Von Riga:
Drawing upon elements of kink and tantric practice with the rigour of shibari dojo training as a base, the themes of Von Riga’s kinbaku are passion, provocation, poetry. Being present to each moment, intuitive in one’s choice of what to tie, and deeply connected to one’s tying partner is key. Thereafter, simply to tie, tie, tie, allow these themes to find fullest expression.
Von Riga can be found curating and performing at Melbourne’s premier rope event, PolyFinda’s Shibari Lounge at the Golden Monkey Bar, as well as teaching shibari weekly at Soul Rope Studio.

Enryka:
From the vial of carnality and sacrilege ENRYKA performs a one-woman ethereal doom act. Fusing full-bodied distortion, heavy drone and lush harmonics on synthesiser with rapturous vocals inspired by her backgrounds in gothic folk, opera and balkan wailing.
