Canidia by Ajna & Onasander

Ajna & Onasander join forces to create a dark and brooding soundtrack to one of the most highly attested witches in Latin Literature; Canidia.

Canidia is considered Rome's first witch and had perpetrated acts of grave desecration, kidnapping, murder, black magic, and poisoning to name but a few. She is most known for being mentioned in the poems of Horace, where she has a prominent role of a demon-like figure. There is much mystery and speculation as to whether Canidia may be a myth or an actual historical figure.

These 7 tracks evoke the heinous deeds of Canidia the Witch, propelling the listener into her ancient world of nightmarish deeds and mystery.

"Canidia is a haunting and cinematic excursion... the listener is taken into a soundscape in which dark winds from unknown sources blow debris through a windswept village at night... claustrophobic and tense throughout. This is true horror-movie music"~Avant Music News

"...There’s a true sonic fusion between both artists. This work is an overpowering production characterized by devastating sound blasts, but still refined with subtle sound treatments. The Dark-Ambient sphere supports the songs and creates this tormenting feeling, which in a way perfectly symbolizes the theme of the work.....8.5/10" (Side-Line Magazine)
