破地獄 (Scattered Purgatory), an instrumental drone/ambient trio based in Taiwan, Taipei, with a black metal-like name derived from a Taoist ritual.
“Lost Ethnography of the Miscanthus Ocean” contains six of their earlier works from 2013 to early 2014. “雲生/Cloudborn” is a re-recorded version. This album is dedicated to Grass Mountain and the incredibly hot, humid summertime in Taipei.
破地獄 (Scattered Purgatory)'s music is the sound of meditation, their band name taken from a Taoist ritual. The band possesses one of the most outstanding improvisational skills in Taiwan's current music scene. The sounds they create produce landscapes in the listener's mind - like walking on a rainy mountainside, gazing at a faraway peak. With a unique "Eastern" flavor in their music, this band is certain to be noticed in the future.
