SÖM SÂPTÂLAHN

More than an album—a sonic talisman. A ritual forged in fire, tuned to the stars. A vessel of resonance and transformation.

A Voyage into the Exocosm

Thee itchy-O’s raw power, channeled into an odyssey beyond the boundaries of sound and self. A composition that aligns physiology with the cosmic tides, dissolving the line between music and mysticism.

Forged in Bronze, Cast for the Cosmos

At its core: custom-built metallophones and gongs, born from 600 pounds of reclaimed bronze in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines. Each tone, an invocation. Each vibration, a gateway.

Septatonic Alchemy

A new harmonic language, woven from itchy-O’s unique seven-note scale. A meditation on myth, ritual, and transformation—where sound becomes an instrument of awakening.

A Bold New Chapter

SÖM SÂPTÂLAHN expands the edges of itchy-O’s world, an offering for seekers of the experimental, the contemplative, and the transcendent.

"An elemental baptism, a mass exorcism, and a reorienting of the collective soul-compass. A liberating ritual exciting ex-stasis in the collective, dissolving body-bound egos into the timeless tides of trance from which all possibilities emerge. "
No Proscenium
"Denver electronic percussion collective itchy-O appear from nowhere and stir the room into a cacophonous, demonic riot – then disappear just as suddenly."
TimeOut Melbourne
"Itchy-O… sounds like Blue Man Group if it were infiltrated by satanists and members of Sepultura."
Chicago Tribune
"(They) tore down the third wall — and the fourth, and the fifth — in an all-enveloping performance that aimed to elevate the conscious mind. Think 21st-century drum circle, where cyborg bulls are slaughtered on the altar of Mystery Science Theater 3000."
SF Weekly
"It's kind of like the ultimate punk-rock, rhythm booty shake. When the drums start hitting, you have to move."
Confluence
“What the fuck just happened?… Denver’s itchy-O is the future of showmanship — or at least what it should be. There’s truly nothing like the crowd involvement that the group provides, basking in originality and a refusal to abide by the norms of live music.”
303 Magazine
"Like an Appalachian tent revival performing a Day of the Dead ceremony in the year 2500, itchy-O’s live performances have become infamous for a kind of digital spirituality, a bone-shaking sensory experience of complex instrumentation and feverish exigency."
Westword
"I feel like I’m bearing witness to a secret cult ritual."
No Proscenium
"The music itself spanned the rhythms of war, screeches of madness, bleating goats and demonic incantations; it was noisy and hallucinatory, a highly orchestrated wildness."
Westword
"Best Immersive Concert 2023 - A show from 57-piece avant-garde marching band itchy-O is less a concert and more a mind-altering, transcendental experience that transports audiences to a whole new realm."
Westword
Their ceremonies bind, entice, cut past the logical centers of the brain and straight to the instinctual, spiritual, cosmological, rhythmical.
Austin Chronicle
